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.

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.

108 depends on AUTOBOOT_KEYED && !AUTOBOOT_ENCRYPTION
110 This option delays the automatic boot feature by issuing
111 a specific input key or string. If CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_DELAY_STR
112 or the environment variable "bootdelaykey" is specified
113 and this string is received from console input before
114 autoboot starts booting, U-Boot gives a command prompt. The
115 U-Boot prompt will time out if CONFIG_BOOT_RETRY_TIME is
116 used, otherwise it never times out.
118 config AUTOBOOT_STOP_STR
119 string "Stop autobooting via specific input key / string"
120 depends on AUTOBOOT_KEYED && !AUTOBOOT_ENCRYPTION
122 This option enables stopping (aborting) of the automatic
123 boot feature only by issuing a specific input key or
124 string. If CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_STOP_STR or the environment
125 variable "bootstopkey" is specified and this string is
126 received from console input before autoboot starts booting,
127 U-Boot gives a command prompt. The U-Boot prompt never
128 times out, even if CONFIG_BOOT_RETRY_TIME is used.
130 config AUTOBOOT_KEYED_CTRLC
131 bool "Enable Ctrl-C autoboot interruption"
132 depends on AUTOBOOT_KEYED && !AUTOBOOT_ENCRYPTION
135 This option allows for the boot sequence to be interrupted
136 by ctrl-c, in addition to the "bootdelaykey" and "bootstopkey".
137 Setting this variable provides an escape sequence from the
138 limited "password" strings.
140 config AUTOBOOT_STOP_STR_SHA256
141 string "Stop autobooting via SHA256 encrypted password"
142 depends on AUTOBOOT_KEYED && AUTOBOOT_ENCRYPTION
144 This option adds the feature to only stop the autobooting,
145 and therefore boot into the U-Boot prompt, when the input
146 string / password matches a values that is encypted via
147 a SHA256 hash and saved in the environment.
169 Print ".config" contents.
171 If this option is enabled, the ".config" file contents are embedded
172 in the U-Boot image and can be printed on the console by the "config"
173 command. This provides information of which options are enabled on

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

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

1646 cycles. SEC block protects data in a data structure called a Blob,
1647 which provides both confidentiality and integrity protection.
1649 Encapsulating data as a blob
1650 Each time that the Blob Protocol is used to protect data, a
1651 different randomly generated key is used to encrypt the data.
1652 This random key is itself encrypted using a key which is derived
1653 from SoC's non-volatile secret key and a 16 bit Key identifier.
1654 The resulting encrypted key along with encrypted data is called a
1655 blob. The non-volatile secure key is available for use only during
