1 menu "Command line interface"
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.
26 config CMDLINE_EDITING
27 bool "Enable command line editing"
31 Enable editing and History functions for interactive command line
35 bool "Enable auto complete using TAB"
39 Enable auto completion of commands using TAB.
42 bool "Enable long help messages"
46 Defined when you want long help messages included
47 Do not set this option when short of memory.
53 This string is displayed in the command line to the left of the
57 string "Command execution tracer"
61 This option enables the possiblity to print all commands before
62 executing them and after all variables are evaluated (similar
63 to Bash's xtrace/'set -x' feature).
64 To enable the tracer a variable "xtrace" needs to be defined in
67 menu "Autoboot options"
73 This enables the autoboot. See doc/README.autoboot for detail.
76 bool "Stop autobooting via specific input key / string"
79 This option enables stopping (aborting) of the automatic
80 boot feature only by issuing a specific input key or
81 string. If not enabled, any input key will abort the
82 U-Boot automatic booting process and bring the device
83 to the U-Boot prompt for user input.
85 config AUTOBOOT_PROMPT
86 string "Autoboot stop prompt"
87 depends on AUTOBOOT_KEYED
88 default "Autoboot in %d seconds\\n"
90 This string is displayed before the boot delay selected by
91 CONFIG_BOOTDELAY starts. If it is not defined there is no
92 output indicating that autoboot is in progress.
94 Note that this define is used as the (only) argument to a
95 printf() call, so it may contain '%' format specifications,
96 provided that it also includes, sepearated by commas exactly
97 like in a printf statement, the required arguments. It is
98 the responsibility of the user to select only such arguments
99 that are valid in the given context.
101 config AUTOBOOT_ENCRYPTION
102 bool "Enable encryption in autoboot stopping"
103 depends on AUTOBOOT_KEYED
105 This option allows a string to be entered into U-Boot to stop the
106 autoboot. The string itself is hashed and compared against the hash
107 in the environment variable 'bootstopkeysha256'. If it matches then
108 boot stops and a command-line prompt is presented.
110 This provides a way to ship a secure production device which can also
111 be accessed at the U-Boot command line.
113 config AUTOBOOT_DELAY_STR
114 string "Delay autobooting via specific input key / string"
115 depends on AUTOBOOT_KEYED && !AUTOBOOT_ENCRYPTION
117 This option delays the automatic boot feature by issuing
118 a specific input key or string. If CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_DELAY_STR
119 or the environment variable "bootdelaykey" is specified
120 and this string is received from console input before
121 autoboot starts booting, U-Boot gives a command prompt. The
122 U-Boot prompt will time out if CONFIG_BOOT_RETRY_TIME is
123 used, otherwise it never times out.
125 config AUTOBOOT_STOP_STR
126 string "Stop autobooting via specific input key / string"
127 depends on AUTOBOOT_KEYED && !AUTOBOOT_ENCRYPTION
129 This option enables stopping (aborting) of the automatic
130 boot feature only by issuing a specific input key or
131 string. If CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_STOP_STR or the environment
132 variable "bootstopkey" is specified and this string is
133 received from console input before autoboot starts booting,
134 U-Boot gives a command prompt. The U-Boot prompt never
135 times out, even if CONFIG_BOOT_RETRY_TIME is used.
137 config AUTOBOOT_KEYED_CTRLC
138 bool "Enable Ctrl-C autoboot interruption"
139 depends on AUTOBOOT_KEYED && !AUTOBOOT_ENCRYPTION
142 This option allows for the boot sequence to be interrupted
143 by ctrl-c, in addition to the "bootdelaykey" and "bootstopkey".
144 Setting this variable provides an escape sequence from the
145 limited "password" strings.
147 config AUTOBOOT_STOP_STR_SHA256
148 string "Stop autobooting via SHA256 encrypted password"
149 depends on AUTOBOOT_KEYED && AUTOBOOT_ENCRYPTION
151 This option adds the feature to only stop the autobooting,
152 and therefore boot into the U-Boot prompt, when the input
153 string / password matches a values that is encypted via
154 a SHA256 hash and saved in the environment.
156 config AUTOBOOT_USE_MENUKEY
157 bool "Allow a specify key to run a menu from the environment"
158 depends on !AUTOBOOT_KEYED
160 If a specific key is pressed to stop autoboot, then the commands in
161 the environment variable 'menucmd' are executed before boot starts.
163 config AUTOBOOT_MENUKEY
164 int "ASCII value of boot key to show a menu"
166 depends on AUTOBOOT_USE_MENUKEY
168 If this key is pressed to stop autoboot, then the commands in the
169 environment variable 'menucmd' will be executed before boot starts.
170 For example, 33 means "!" in ASCII, so pressing ! at boot would take
173 config AUTOBOOT_MENU_SHOW
174 bool "Show a menu on boot"
175 depends on CMD_BOOTMENU
177 This enables the boot menu, controlled by environment variables
178 defined by the board. The menu starts after running the 'preboot'
179 environmnent variable (if enabled) and before handling the boot delay.
180 See README.bootmenu for more details.
202 Print ".config" contents.
204 If this option is enabled, the ".config" file contents are embedded
205 in the U-Boot image and can be printed on the console by the "config"
206 command. This provides information of which options are enabled on

399 but you should be able to find something on the interwebs.
402 bool "zboot - x86 boot command"
404 With x86 machines it is common to boot a bzImage file which
405 contains both a kernel and a setup.bin file. The latter includes
406 configuration information from the dark ages which x86 boards still
407 need to pick things out of.
409 Consider using FIT in preference to this since it supports directly

902 permits booting from an IDE drive.
905 bool "io - Support for performing I/O accesses"
907 Provides an 'iod' command to display I/O space and an 'iow' command
908 to write values to the I/O space. This can be useful for manually
909 checking the state of devices during boot when debugging device
913 bool "iotrace - Support for tracing I/O activity"
915 Provides an 'iotrace' command which supports recording I/O reads and
916 writes in a trace buffer in memory . It also maintains a checksum
917 of the trace records (even if space is exhausted) so that the
918 sequence of I/O accesses can be verified.
920 When debugging drivers it is useful to see what I/O accesses were
921 done and in what order.
923 Even if the individual accesses are of little interest it can be
924 useful to verify that the access pattern is consistent each time
925 an operation is performed. In this case a checksum can be used to
926 characterise the operation of a driver. The checksum can be compared
927 across different runs of the operation to verify that the driver is
930 In particular, when performing major refactoring of the driver, where
931 the access pattern should not change, the checksum provides assurance
932 that the refactoring work has not broken the driver.
934 This works by sneaking into the io.h heder for an architecture and
935 redirecting I/O accesses through iotrace's tracing mechanism.
937 For now no commands are provided to examine the trace buffer. The
938 format is fairly simple, so 'md' is a reasonable substitute.
940 Note: The checksum feature is only useful for I/O regions where the
941 contents do not change outside of software control. Where this is not
942 suitable you can fall back to manually comparing the addresses. It
943 might be useful to enhance tracing to only checksum the accesses and
944 not the data read/written.
