4 bool "Support U-Boot commands"
7 Enable U-Boot's command-line functions. This provides a means
8 to enter commands into U-Boot for a wide variety of purposes. It
9 also allows scripts (containing commands) to be executed.
10 Various commands and command categorys can be indivdually enabled.
11 Depending on the number of commands enabled, this can add
12 substantially to the size of U-Boot.
18 This option enables the "hush" shell (from Busybox) as command line
19 interpreter, thus enabling powerful command line syntax like
20 if...then...else...fi conditionals or `&&' and '||'
21 constructs ("shell scripts").
23 If disabled, you get the old, much simpler behaviour with a somewhat
24 smaller memory footprint.
30 This string is displayed in the command line to the left of the
33 menu "Autoboot options"
39 This enables the autoboot. See doc/README.autoboot for detail.
42 bool "Stop autobooting via specific input key / string"
45 This option enables stopping (aborting) of the automatic
46 boot feature only by issuing a specific input key or
47 string. If not enabled, any input key will abort the
48 U-Boot automatic booting process and bring the device
49 to the U-Boot prompt for user input.
51 config AUTOBOOT_PROMPT
52 string "Autoboot stop prompt"
53 depends on AUTOBOOT_KEYED
54 default "Autoboot in %d seconds\\n"
56 This string is displayed before the boot delay selected by
57 CONFIG_BOOTDELAY starts. If it is not defined there is no
58 output indicating that autoboot is in progress.
60 Note that this define is used as the (only) argument to a
61 printf() call, so it may contain '%' format specifications,
62 provided that it also includes, sepearated by commas exactly
63 like in a printf statement, the required arguments. It is
64 the responsibility of the user to select only such arguments
65 that are valid in the given context.

69 depends on AUTOBOOT_KEYED
72 config AUTOBOOT_DELAY_STR
73 string "Delay autobooting via specific input key / string"
74 depends on AUTOBOOT_KEYED && !AUTOBOOT_ENCRYPTION
76 This option delays the automatic boot feature by issuing
77 a specific input key or string. If CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_DELAY_STR
78 or the environment variable "bootdelaykey" is specified
79 and this string is received from console input before
80 autoboot starts booting, U-Boot gives a command prompt. The
81 U-Boot prompt will time out if CONFIG_BOOT_RETRY_TIME is
82 used, otherwise it never times out.
84 config AUTOBOOT_STOP_STR
85 string "Stop autobooting via specific input key / string"
86 depends on AUTOBOOT_KEYED && !AUTOBOOT_ENCRYPTION
88 This option enables stopping (aborting) of the automatic
89 boot feature only by issuing a specific input key or
90 string. If CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_STOP_STR or the environment
91 variable "bootstopkey" is specified and this string is
92 received from console input before autoboot starts booting,
93 U-Boot gives a command prompt. The U-Boot prompt never
94 times out, even if CONFIG_BOOT_RETRY_TIME is used.
96 config AUTOBOOT_KEYED_CTRLC
97 bool "Enable Ctrl-C autoboot interruption"
98 depends on AUTOBOOT_KEYED && !AUTOBOOT_ENCRYPTION
101 This option allows for the boot sequence to be interrupted
102 by ctrl-c, in addition to the "bootdelaykey" and "bootstopkey".
103 Setting this variable provides an escape sequence from the
104 limited "password" strings.
106 config AUTOBOOT_STOP_STR_SHA256
107 string "Stop autobooting via SHA256 encrypted password"
108 depends on AUTOBOOT_KEYED && AUTOBOOT_ENCRYPTION
110 This option adds the feature to only stop the autobooting,
111 and therefore boot into the U-Boot prompt, when the input
112 string / password matches a values that is encypted via
113 a SHA256 hash and saved in the environment.
117 source "cmd/fastboot/Kconfig"
134 Print ".config" contents.
136 If this option is enabled, the ".config" file contents are embedded
137 in the U-Boot image and can be printed on the console by the "config"
138 command. This provides information of which options are enabled on
145 Print console devices and information.
150 Print information about available CPUs. This normally shows the
151 number of CPUs, type (e.g. manufacturer, architecture, product or
152 internal name) and clock frequency. Other information may be

208 This compiles a standard EFI hello world application with U-Boot so
209 that it can be used with the test/py testing framework. This is useful
210 for testing that EFI is working at a basic level, and for bringing
211 up EFI support on a new architecture.
213 No additional space will be required in the resulting U-Boot binary

318 With x86 machines it is common to boot a bzImage file which
319 contains both a kernel and a setup.bin file. The latter includes
320 configuration information from the dark ages which x86 boards still
321 need to pick things out of.
323 Consider using FIT in preference to this since it supports directly

679 bool "ide - Support for IDE drivers"
682 Provides an 'ide' command which allows accessing the IDE drive,
683 reseting the IDE interface, printing the partition table and
684 geting device info. It also enables the 'diskboot' command which
685 permits booting from an IDE drive.
688 bool "io - Support for performing I/O accesses"
690 Provides an 'iod' command to display I/O space and an 'iow' command
691 to write values to the I/O space. This can be useful for manually
692 checking the state of devices during boot when debugging device
696 bool "iotrace - Support for tracing I/O activity"
698 Provides an 'iotrace' command which supports recording I/O reads and
699 writes in a trace buffer in memory . It also maintains a checksum
700 of the trace records (even if space is exhausted) so that the
701 sequence of I/O accesses can be verified.
703 When debugging drivers it is useful to see what I/O accesses were
704 done and in what order.
706 Even if the individual accesses are of little interest it can be
707 useful to verify that the access pattern is consistent each time
708 an operation is performed. In this case a checksum can be used to
709 characterise the operation of a driver. The checksum can be compared
710 across different runs of the operation to verify that the driver is
713 In particular, when performing major refactoring of the driver, where
714 the access pattern should not change, the checksum provides assurance
715 that the refactoring work has not broken the driver.
717 This works by sneaking into the io.h heder for an architecture and
718 redirecting I/O accesses through iotrace's tracing mechanism.
720 For now no commands are provided to examine the trace buffer. The
721 format is fairly simple, so 'md' is a reasonable substitute.
723 Note: The checksum feature is only useful for I/O regions where the
724 contents do not change outside of software control. Where this is not
725 suitable you can fall back to manually comparing the addresses. It
726 might be useful to enhance tracing to only checksum the accesses and
727 not the data read/written.

866 bool "sf test - Allow testing of SPI flash"
868 Provides a way to test that SPI flash is working correctly. The
869 test is destructive, in that an area of SPI flash must be provided
870 for the test to use. Performance information is also provided,
871 measuring the performance of reading, writing and erasing in

1202 menu "Security commands"
1204 bool "Enable the 'aes' command"
1207 This provides a means to encrypt and decrypt data using the AES
1208 (Advanced Encryption Standard). This algorithm uses a symetric key
1209 and is widely used as a streaming cipher. Different key lengths are
1210 supported by the algorithm but this command only supports 128 bits
1214 bool "Enable the 'blob' command"
1216 This is used with the Freescale secure boot mechanism.
1218 Freescale's SEC block has built-in Blob Protocol which provides
1219 a method for protecting user-defined data across system power
1220 cycles. SEC block protects data in a data structure called a Blob,
1221 which provides both confidentiality and integrity protection.
1223 Encapsulating data as a blob
1224 Each time that the Blob Protocol is used to protect data, a
1225 different randomly generated key is used to encrypt the data.
1226 This random key is itself encrypted using a key which is derived
1227 from SoC's non-volatile secret key and a 16 bit Key identifier.
1228 The resulting encrypted key along with encrypted data is called a
1229 blob. The non-volatile secure key is available for use only during
1232 During decapsulation, the reverse process is performed to get back
1236 blob enc - encapsulating data as a cryptgraphic blob
1237 blob dec - decapsulating cryptgraphic blob to get the data
1241 blob enc src dst len km
1243 Encapsulate and create blob of data $len bytes long
1244 at address $src and store the result at address $dst.
1245 $km is the 16 byte key modifier is also required for
1246 generation/use as key for cryptographic operation. Key
1247 modifier should be 16 byte long.
1249 blob dec src dst len km
1251 Decapsulate the blob of data at address $src and
1252 store result of $len byte at addr $dst.
1253 $km is the 16 byte key modifier is also required for
1254 generation/use as key for cryptographic operation. Key
1255 modifier should be 16 byte long.
1258 bool "Support 'hash' command"
1261 This provides a way to hash data in memory using various supported
