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.
176 Print ".config" contents.
178 If this option is enabled, the ".config" file contents are embedded
179 in the U-Boot image and can be printed on the console by the "config"
180 command. This provides information of which options are enabled on
187 Print console devices and information.
192 Print information about available CPUs. This normally shows the
193 number of CPUs, type (e.g. manufacturer, architecture, product or
194 internal name) and clock frequency. Other information may be
195 available depending on the CPU driver.

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

865 bool "io - Support for performing I/O accesses"
867 Provides an 'iod' command to display I/O space and an 'iow' command
868 to write values to the I/O space. This can be useful for manually
869 checking the state of devices during boot when debugging device
873 bool "iotrace - Support for tracing I/O activity"
875 Provides an 'iotrace' command which supports recording I/O reads and
876 writes in a trace buffer in memory . It also maintains a checksum
877 of the trace records (even if space is exhausted) so that the
878 sequence of I/O accesses can be verified.
880 When debugging drivers it is useful to see what I/O accesses were
881 done and in what order.
883 Even if the individual accesses are of little interest it can be
884 useful to verify that the access pattern is consistent each time
885 an operation is performed. In this case a checksum can be used to
886 characterise the operation of a driver. The checksum can be compared
887 across different runs of the operation to verify that the driver is
890 In particular, when performing major refactoring of the driver, where
891 the access pattern should not change, the checksum provides assurance
892 that the refactoring work has not broken the driver.
894 This works by sneaking into the io.h heder for an architecture and
895 redirecting I/O accesses through iotrace's tracing mechanism.
897 For now no commands are provided to examine the trace buffer. The
898 format is fairly simple, so 'md' is a reasonable substitute.
900 Note: The checksum feature is only useful for I/O regions where the
901 contents do not change outside of software control. Where this is not
902 suitable you can fall back to manually comparing the addresses. It
903 might be useful to enhance tracing to only checksum the accesses and
904 not the data read/written.

1668 cycles. SEC block protects data in a data structure called a Blob,
1669 which provides both confidentiality and integrity protection.
1671 Encapsulating data as a blob
1672 Each time that the Blob Protocol is used to protect data, a
1673 different randomly generated key is used to encrypt the data.
1674 This random key is itself encrypted using a key which is derived
1675 from SoC's non-volatile secret key and a 16 bit Key identifier.
1676 The resulting encrypted key along with encrypted data is called a
1677 blob. The non-volatile secure key is available for use only during
