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 '||'

115 Interface) is used mostly on x86 for providing information to the
116 Operating System about devices in the system. The tables are set up
117 by the firmware, typically U-Boot but possibly an earlier firmware
118 module, if U-Boot is chain-loaded from something else. ACPI tables
119 can also include code, to perform hardware-specific tasks required
120 by the Operating Systems. This allows some amount of separation
121 between the firmware and OS, and is particularly useful when you
122 want to make hardware changes without the OS needing to be adjusted.

1114 bool "io - Support for performing I/O accesses"
1116 Provides an 'iod' command to display I/O space and an 'iow' command
1117 to write values to the I/O space. This can be useful for manually
1118 checking the state of devices during boot when debugging device
1122 bool "iotrace - Support for tracing I/O activity"
1124 Provides an 'iotrace' command which supports recording I/O reads and
1125 writes in a trace buffer in memory . It also maintains a checksum
1126 of the trace records (even if space is exhausted) so that the
1127 sequence of I/O accesses can be verified.
1129 When debugging drivers it is useful to see what I/O accesses were
1130 done and in what order.
1132 Even if the individual accesses are of little interest it can be
1133 useful to verify that the access pattern is consistent each time
1134 an operation is performed. In this case a checksum can be used to
1135 characterise the operation of a driver. The checksum can be compared
1136 across different runs of the operation to verify that the driver is
1139 In particular, when performing major refactoring of the driver, where
1140 the access pattern should not change, the checksum provides assurance
1141 that the refactoring work has not broken the driver.
1143 This works by sneaking into the io.h heder for an architecture and
1144 redirecting I/O accesses through iotrace's tracing mechanism.
1146 For now no commands are provided to examine the trace buffer. The
1147 format is fairly simple, so 'md' is a reasonable substitute.
1149 Note: The checksum feature is only useful for I/O regions where the
1150 contents do not change outside of software control. Where this is not
1151 suitable you can fall back to manually comparing the addresses. It
1152 might be useful to enhance tracing to only checksum the accesses and
1153 not the data read/written.

2160 bool "Enable the 'aes' command"
2163 This provides a means to encrypt and decrypt data using the AES
2164 (Advanced Encryption Standard). This algorithm uses a symetric key
2165 and is widely used as a streaming cipher. Different key lengths are
2166 supported by the algorithm but this command only supports 128 bits
2170 bool "Enable the 'blob' command"
2171 depends on !MX6ULL && !MX6SLL && !MX6SL
2172 select IMX_HAB if ARCH_MX6 || ARCH_MX7 || ARCH_MX7ULP || ARCH_IMX8M
2174 This is used with the Freescale secure boot mechanism.
2176 Freescale's SEC block has built-in Blob Protocol which provides
2177 a method for protecting user-defined data across system power
2178 cycles. SEC block protects data in a data structure called a Blob,
2179 which provides both confidentiality and integrity protection.
2181 Encapsulating data as a blob
2182 Each time that the Blob Protocol is used to protect data, a
2183 different randomly generated key is used to encrypt the data.
2184 This random key is itself encrypted using a key which is derived
2185 from SoC's non-volatile secret key and a 16 bit Key identifier.
2186 The resulting encrypted key along with encrypted data is called a
2187 blob. The non-volatile secure key is available for use only during
2190 During decapsulation, the reverse process is performed to get back
2194 blob enc - encapsulating data as a cryptgraphic blob
2195 blob dec - decapsulating cryptgraphic blob to get the data
2199 blob enc src dst len km
2201 Encapsulate and create blob of data $len bytes long
2202 at address $src and store the result at address $dst.
2203 $km is the 16 byte key modifier is also required for
2204 generation/use as key for cryptographic operation. Key
2205 modifier should be 16 byte long.
2207 blob dec src dst len km
2209 Decapsulate the blob of data at address $src and
2210 store result of $len byte at addr $dst.
2211 $km is the 16 byte key modifier is also required for
2212 generation/use as key for cryptographic operation. Key
2213 modifier should be 16 byte long.
