3. From u-boot prompt type:
gpt write mmc 0 $partitions
Checking (validating) GPT partitions in U-Boot:
===============================================
Procedure is the same as above. The only change is at point 3.
At u-boot prompt one needs to write:
gpt verify mmc 0 [$partitions]
where [$partitions] is an optional parameter.
When it is not provided, only basic checks based on CRC32 calculation for GPT
header and PTEs are performed.
When provided, additionally partition data - name, size and starting
offset (last two in LBA) - are compared with data defined in '$partitions'
environment variable.
After running this command, return code is set to 0 if no errors found in
on non-volatile medium stored GPT.
Following line can be used to assess if GPT verification has succeed:
U-BOOT> gpt verify mmc 0 $partitions
U-BOOT> if test $? = 0; then echo "GPT OK"; else echo "GPT ERR"; fi
