Steps to test: 1. After applying the patch, ext4 specific commands can be seen in the boot loader prompt using - UBOOT #help + UBOOT #help - ext4load- load binary file from a Ext4 file system - ext4ls - list files in a directory (default /) - ext4write- create a file in ext4 formatted partition + ext4load- load binary file from a Ext4 file system + ext4ls - list files in a directory (default /) + ext4write- create a file in ext4 formatted partition 2.
