This module generates a /boot/extlinux/extlinux.conf bootloader configuration file that is supported by e.g. U-Boot: http://git.denx.de/?p=u-boot.git;a=blob;f=doc/README.distro;hb=refs/heads/master With this, all ARM boards supported by U-Boot can be booted in a common way (a single boot file generator, all boards booting via initrd like x86) and with same boot menu functionality as GRUB has. -- sample extlinux.conf file -- # Generated file, all changes will be lost on nixos-rebuild! # Change this to e.g. nixos-42 to temporarily boot to an older configuration.
