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.

62 This enables the autoboot. See doc/README.autoboot for detail.
65 bool "Stop autobooting via specific input key / string"
68 This option enables stopping (aborting) of the automatic
69 boot feature only by issuing a specific input key or
70 string. If not enabled, any input key will abort the
71 U-Boot automatic booting process and bring the device
72 to the U-Boot prompt for user input.
74 config AUTOBOOT_PROMPT
75 string "Autoboot stop prompt"
76 depends on AUTOBOOT_KEYED
77 default "Autoboot in %d seconds\\n"
79 This string is displayed before the boot delay selected by
80 CONFIG_BOOTDELAY starts. If it is not defined there is no
81 output indicating that autoboot is in progress.
83 Note that this define is used as the (only) argument to a
84 printf() call, so it may contain '%' format specifications,
85 provided that it also includes, sepearated by commas exactly
86 like in a printf statement, the required arguments. It is
87 the responsibility of the user to select only such arguments
88 that are valid in the given context.

96 string "Delay autobooting via specific input key / string"
97 depends on AUTOBOOT_KEYED && !AUTOBOOT_ENCRYPTION
99 This option delays the automatic boot feature by issuing
100 a specific input key or string. If CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_DELAY_STR
101 or the environment variable "bootdelaykey" is specified
102 and this string is received from console input before
103 autoboot starts booting, U-Boot gives a command prompt. The
104 U-Boot prompt will time out if CONFIG_BOOT_RETRY_TIME is
105 used, otherwise it never times out.
107 config AUTOBOOT_STOP_STR
108 string "Stop autobooting via specific input key / string"
109 depends on AUTOBOOT_KEYED && !AUTOBOOT_ENCRYPTION
111 This option enables stopping (aborting) of the automatic
112 boot feature only by issuing a specific input key or
113 string. If CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_STOP_STR or the environment
114 variable "bootstopkey" is specified and this string is
115 received from console input before autoboot starts booting,
116 U-Boot gives a command prompt. The U-Boot prompt never
117 times out, even if CONFIG_BOOT_RETRY_TIME is used.
119 config AUTOBOOT_KEYED_CTRLC
120 bool "Enable Ctrl-C autoboot interruption"
121 depends on AUTOBOOT_KEYED && !AUTOBOOT_ENCRYPTION
124 This option allows for the boot sequence to be interrupted
125 by ctrl-c, in addition to the "bootdelaykey" and "bootstopkey".
126 Setting this variable provides an escape sequence from the
127 limited "password" strings.
129 config AUTOBOOT_STOP_STR_SHA256
130 string "Stop autobooting via SHA256 encrypted password"
131 depends on AUTOBOOT_KEYED && AUTOBOOT_ENCRYPTION
133 This option adds the feature to only stop the autobooting,
134 and therefore boot into the U-Boot prompt, when the input
135 string / password matches a values that is encypted via
136 a SHA256 hash and saved in the environment.

160 Print ".config" contents.
162 If this option is enabled, the ".config" file contents are embedded
163 in the U-Boot image and can be printed on the console by the "config"
164 command. This provides information of which options are enabled on
171 Print console devices and information.
176 Print information about available CPUs. This normally shows the

352 contains both a kernel and a setup.bin file. The latter includes
353 configuration information from the dark ages which x86 boards still
354 need to pick things out of.

745 permits booting from an IDE drive.
748 bool "io - Support for performing I/O accesses"
750 Provides an 'iod' command to display I/O space and an 'iow' command
751 to write values to the I/O space. This can be useful for manually
752 checking the state of devices during boot when debugging device
756 bool "iotrace - Support for tracing I/O activity"
758 Provides an 'iotrace' command which supports recording I/O reads and
759 writes in a trace buffer in memory . It also maintains a checksum
760 of the trace records (even if space is exhausted) so that the
761 sequence of I/O accesses can be verified.
763 When debugging drivers it is useful to see what I/O accesses were
764 done and in what order.
766 Even if the individual accesses are of little interest it can be
767 useful to verify that the access pattern is consistent each time
768 an operation is performed. In this case a checksum can be used to
769 characterise the operation of a driver. The checksum can be compared
770 across different runs of the operation to verify that the driver is
773 In particular, when performing major refactoring of the driver, where
774 the access pattern should not change, the checksum provides assurance
775 that the refactoring work has not broken the driver.
777 This works by sneaking into the io.h heder for an architecture and
778 redirecting I/O accesses through iotrace's tracing mechanism.
780 For now no commands are provided to examine the trace buffer. The
781 format is fairly simple, so 'md' is a reasonable substitute.
783 Note: The checksum feature is only useful for I/O regions where the
784 contents do not change outside of software control. Where this is not
785 suitable you can fall back to manually comparing the addresses. It
786 might be useful to enhance tracing to only checksum the accesses and
787 not the data read/written.

1202 bool "Enable 'bmp' command"
1203 depends on LCD || DM_VIDEO || VIDEO
1205 This provides a way to obtain information about a BMP-format iamge
1206 and to display it. BMP (which presumably stands for BitMaP) is a
1207 file format defined by Microsoft which supports images of various
1208 depths, formats and compression methods. Headers on the file
1209 determine the formats used. This command can be used by first loading
1210 the image into RAM, then using this command to look at it or display
1214 bool "Enable board-specific commands"
1216 (deprecated: instead, please define a Kconfig option for each command)
1218 Some boards have board-specific commands which are only enabled
1219 during developemnt and need to be turned off for production. This
1220 option provides a way to control this. The commands that are enabled
1221 vary depending on the board.
1223 config CMD_BKOPS_ENABLE
1224 bool "mmc bkops enable"
1228 Enable command for setting manual background operations handshake
1229 on a eMMC device. The feature is optionally available on eMMC devices
1230 conforming to standard >= 4.41.

1234 depends on BLOCK_CACHE
1235 default y if BLOCK_CACHE
1237 Enable the blkcache command, which can be used to control the
1238 operation of the cache functions.
1239 This is most useful when fine-tuning the operation of the cache
1240 during development, but also allows the cache to be disabled when
1241 it might hurt performance (e.g. when using the ums command).
1244 bool "icache or dcache"
1246 Enable the "icache" and "dcache" commands
1249 bool "Enable the 'display' command, for character displays"
1251 (this needs porting to driver model)
1252 This enables the 'display' command which allows a string to be
1253 displayed on a simple board-specific display. Implement
1254 display_putc() to use it.
1260 Enable the 'led' command which allows for control of LEDs supported
1261 by the board. The LEDs can be listed with 'led list' and controlled
1262 with led on/off/togle/blink. Any LED drivers can be controlled with
1263 this command, e.g. led_gpio.
1269 Enable the 'date' command for getting/setting the time/date in RTC
1275 Run commands and summarize execution time.
1278 bool "gettime - read elapsed time"
1280 Enable the 'gettime' command which reads the elapsed time since
1281 U-Boot started running. This shows the time in seconds and
1282 milliseconds. See also the 'bootstage' command which provides more
1283 flexibility for boot timing.
1285 # TODO: rename to CMD_SLEEP

1301 This provides basic access to the U-Boot's sound support. The main
1302 feature is to play a beep.
1304 sound init - set up sound system
1305 sound play - play a sound
1311 This provides access to the QEMU firmware interface. The main
1312 feature is to allow easy loading of files passed to qemu-system
1313 via -kernel / -initrd
1315 source "cmd/mvebu/Kconfig"
1318 bool "terminal - provides a way to attach a serial terminal"
1320 Provides a 'cu'-like serial terminal command. This can be used to
1321 access other serial ports from the system console. The terminal
1322 is very simple with no special processing of characters. As with
1323 cu, you can press ~. (tilde followed by period) to exit.
1326 bool "uuid, guid - generation of unique IDs"
1329 This enables two commands:
1331 uuid - generate random Universally Unique Identifier
1332 guid - generate Globally Unique Identifier based on random UUID
1334 The two commands are very similar except for the endianness of the
1339 source "cmd/ti/Kconfig"

1384 menu "Security commands"
1386 bool "Enable the 'aes' command"
1389 This provides a means to encrypt and decrypt data using the AES
1390 (Advanced Encryption Standard). This algorithm uses a symetric key
1391 and is widely used as a streaming cipher. Different key lengths are
1392 supported by the algorithm but this command only supports 128 bits
1396 bool "Enable the 'blob' command"
1398 This is used with the Freescale secure boot mechanism.
1400 Freescale's SEC block has built-in Blob Protocol which provides
1401 a method for protecting user-defined data across system power
1402 cycles. SEC block protects data in a data structure called a Blob,
1403 which provides both confidentiality and integrity protection.
1405 Encapsulating data as a blob
1406 Each time that the Blob Protocol is used to protect data, a
1407 different randomly generated key is used to encrypt the data.
1408 This random key is itself encrypted using a key which is derived
1409 from SoC's non-volatile secret key and a 16 bit Key identifier.
1410 The resulting encrypted key along with encrypted data is called a
1411 blob. The non-volatile secure key is available for use only during
1414 During decapsulation, the reverse process is performed to get back
1418 blob enc - encapsulating data as a cryptgraphic blob
1419 blob dec - decapsulating cryptgraphic blob to get the data
1423 blob enc src dst len km
1425 Encapsulate and create blob of data $len bytes long
1426 at address $src and store the result at address $dst.
1427 $km is the 16 byte key modifier is also required for
1428 generation/use as key for cryptographic operation. Key
1429 modifier should be 16 byte long.

1433 Decapsulate the blob of data at address $src and
1434 store result of $len byte at addr $dst.
1435 $km is the 16 byte key modifier is also required for
1436 generation/use as key for cryptographic operation. Key
1437 modifier should be 16 byte long.
1440 bool "Support 'hash' command"
1443 This provides a way to hash data in memory using various supported
1444 algorithms (such as SHA1, MD5, CRC32). The computed digest can be
1445 saved to memory or to an environment variable. It is also possible
1446 to verify a hash against data in memory.
1452 Add -v option to verify data against a hash.
1455 bool "Enable the 'tpm' command"
1458 This provides a means to talk to a TPM from the command line. A wide
1459 range of commands if provided - see 'tpm help' for details. The
1460 command requires a suitable TPM on your board and the correct driver
1464 bool "Enable the 'tpm test' command"
1467 This provides a a series of tests to confirm that the TPM is working
1468 correctly. The tests cover initialisation, non-volatile RAM, extend,
1469 global lock and checking that timing is within expectations. The
1470 tests pass correctly on Infineon TPMs but may need to be adjusted

1493 This enables the 'btrsubvol' command to list subvolumes
1494 of a BTRFS filesystem. There are no special commands for
1495 listing BTRFS directories or loading BTRFS files - this
1496 can be done by the generic 'fs' commands (see CMD_FS_GENERIC)
1497 when BTRFS is enabled (see FS_BTRFS).
1500 bool "Enable the 'cbfs' command"
1503 Define this to enable support for reading from a Coreboot
1504 filesystem. This is a ROM-based filesystem used for accessing files
1505 on systems that use coreboot as the first boot-loader and then load
1506 U-Boot to actually boot the Operating System. Available commands are
1507 cbfsinit, cbfsinfo, cbfsls and cbfsload.
1510 bool "Enable the 'cramfs' command"
1511 depends on FS_CRAMFS
