Supporting selecting kernel on the u-boot menu, and more questions about the u-boot menu

[iacore]

Hi, @m-weigand, Thanks for building for PineNote!

I didn't find any instruction inside your u-boot repo on how to modify the u-boot menu, build it and flash it.

I know it's in bootmenu.c.

I want to add a kernel selection menu to the boot screen.

Can you tell me how I can do that? Thanks!

Hi @iacore, can you trigger me again in three days if I fail to get back to you until then? This year turned out to be mostly consumed by normal work and I didn't get much work done on the Pinenote...

Anyway, I can upload the work I did to support kernel selection, see https://pinenote.mweigand.net/20250222_uboot_extlinux_v2_small.mp4

I forgot the deails, but I think I was stuck in some subtle bug that made it hard to select entries. Anyway, that will be good starting point for you and maybe you (we) can fix the remaining issues.

OK, but perhaps you can use a digital calendar with reminder.

Also, can you enable Issues on your forked repos? It's hard for others to find where to submit an issue.
