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.
30 This string is displayed in the command line to the left of the
33 menu "Autoboot options"
39 This enables the autoboot. See doc/README.autoboot for detail.
42 bool "Stop autobooting via specific input key / string"
45 This option enables stopping (aborting) of the automatic
46 boot feature only by issuing a specific input key or
47 string. If not enabled, any input key will abort the
48 U-Boot automatic booting process and bring the device
49 to the U-Boot prompt for user input.
51 config AUTOBOOT_PROMPT
52 string "Autoboot stop prompt"
53 depends on AUTOBOOT_KEYED
54 default "Autoboot in %d seconds\\n"
56 This string is displayed before the boot delay selected by
57 CONFIG_BOOTDELAY starts. If it is not defined there is no
58 output indicating that autoboot is in progress.
60 Note that this define is used as the (only) argument to a
61 printf() call, so it may contain '%' format specifications,
62 provided that it also includes, sepearated by commas exactly
63 like in a printf statement, the required arguments. It is
64 the responsibility of the user to select only such arguments
65 that are valid in the given context.
67 config AUTOBOOT_ENCRYPTION

69 depends on AUTOBOOT_KEYED
72 config AUTOBOOT_DELAY_STR
73 string "Delay autobooting via specific input key / string"
74 depends on AUTOBOOT_KEYED && !AUTOBOOT_ENCRYPTION
76 This option delays the automatic boot feature by issuing
77 a specific input key or string. If CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_DELAY_STR
78 or the environment variable "bootdelaykey" is specified
79 and this string is received from console input before
80 autoboot starts booting, U-Boot gives a command prompt. The
81 U-Boot prompt will time out if CONFIG_BOOT_RETRY_TIME is
82 used, otherwise it never times out.
84 config AUTOBOOT_STOP_STR
85 string "Stop autobooting via specific input key / string"
86 depends on AUTOBOOT_KEYED && !AUTOBOOT_ENCRYPTION
88 This option enables stopping (aborting) of the automatic
89 boot feature only by issuing a specific input key or
90 string. If CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_STOP_STR or the environment
91 variable "bootstopkey" is specified and this string is
92 received from console input before autoboot starts booting,
93 U-Boot gives a command prompt. The U-Boot prompt never
94 times out, even if CONFIG_BOOT_RETRY_TIME is used.
96 config AUTOBOOT_KEYED_CTRLC
97 bool "Enable Ctrl-C autoboot interruption"
98 depends on AUTOBOOT_KEYED && !AUTOBOOT_ENCRYPTION
101 This option allows for the boot sequence to be interrupted
102 by ctrl-c, in addition to the "bootdelaykey" and "bootstopkey".
103 Setting this variable provides an escape sequence from the
104 limited "password" strings.
106 config AUTOBOOT_STOP_STR_SHA256
107 string "Stop autobooting via SHA256 encrypted password"
108 depends on AUTOBOOT_KEYED && AUTOBOOT_ENCRYPTION
110 This option adds the feature to only stop the autobooting,
111 and therefore boot into the U-Boot prompt, when the input
112 string / password matches a values that is encypted via
113 a SHA256 hash and saved in the environment.
117 source "cmd/fastboot/Kconfig"
134 Print ".config" contents.
136 If this option is enabled, the ".config" file contents are embedded
137 in the U-Boot image and can be printed on the console by the "config"
138 command. This provides information of which options are enabled on
145 Print console devices and information.
150 Print information about available CPUs. This normally shows the
151 number of CPUs, type (e.g. manufacturer, architecture, product or
152 internal name) and clock frequency. Other information may be
153 available depending on the CPU driver.

552 bool "demo - Demonstration commands for driver model"
555 Provides a 'demo' command which can be used to play around with
556 driver model. To use this properly you will need to enable one or
557 both of the demo devices (DM_DEMO_SHAPE and DM_DEMO_SIMPLE).
558 Otherwise you will always get an empty list of devices. The demo

661 partitions via the 'gpt swap' command or to rename single
662 partitions via the 'rename' command.
665 bool "ide - Support for IDE drivers"
668 Provides an 'ide' command which allows accessing the IDE drive,
669 reseting the IDE interface, printing the partition table and
670 geting device info. It also enables the 'diskboot' command which
671 permits booting from an IDE drive.
674 bool "io - Support for performing I/O accesses"
676 Provides an 'iod' command to display I/O space and an 'iow' command
677 to write values to the I/O space. This can be useful for manually
678 checking the state of devices during boot when debugging device
682 bool "iotrace - Support for tracing I/O activity"
684 Provides an 'iotrace' command which supports recording I/O reads and
685 writes in a trace buffer in memory . It also maintains a checksum
686 of the trace records (even if space is exhausted) so that the
687 sequence of I/O accesses can be verified.
689 When debugging drivers it is useful to see what I/O accesses were
690 done and in what order.
692 Even if the individual accesses are of little interest it can be
693 useful to verify that the access pattern is consistent each time
694 an operation is performed. In this case a checksum can be used to
695 characterise the operation of a driver. The checksum can be compared
696 across different runs of the operation to verify that the driver is
699 In particular, when performing major refactoring of the driver, where
700 the access pattern should not change, the checksum provides assurance
701 that the refactoring work has not broken the driver.
703 This works by sneaking into the io.h heder for an architecture and
704 redirecting I/O accesses through iotrace's tracing mechanism.
706 For now no commands are provided to examine the trace buffer. The
707 format is fairly simple, so 'md' is a reasonable substitute.
709 Note: The checksum feature is only useful for I/O regions where the
710 contents do not change outside of software control. Where this is not
711 suitable you can fall back to manually comparing the addresses. It
712 might be useful to enhance tracing to only checksum the accesses and
713 not the data read/written.

1181 menu "Security commands"
1183 bool "Enable the 'aes' command"
1186 This provides a means to encrypt and decrypt data using the AES
1187 (Advanced Encryption Standard). This algorithm uses a symetric key
1188 and is widely used as a streaming cipher. Different key lengths are
1189 supported by the algorithm but this command only supports 128 bits
1193 bool "Enable the 'blob' command"
1195 This is used with the Freescale secure boot mechanism.
1197 Freescale's SEC block has built-in Blob Protocol which provides
1198 a method for protecting user-defined data across system power
1199 cycles. SEC block protects data in a data structure called a Blob,
1200 which provides both confidentiality and integrity protection.
1202 Encapsulating data as a blob
1203 Each time that the Blob Protocol is used to protect data, a
1204 different randomly generated key is used to encrypt the data.
1205 This random key is itself encrypted using a key which is derived
1206 from SoC's non-volatile secret key and a 16 bit Key identifier.
1207 The resulting encrypted key along with encrypted data is called a
1208 blob. The non-volatile secure key is available for use only during
1211 During decapsulation, the reverse process is performed to get back
1215 blob enc - encapsulating data as a cryptgraphic blob
1216 blob dec - decapsulating cryptgraphic blob to get the data
1220 blob enc src dst len km
1222 Encapsulate and create blob of data $len bytes long
1223 at address $src and store the result at address $dst.
1224 $km is the 16 byte key modifier is also required for
1225 generation/use as key for cryptographic operation. Key
1226 modifier should be 16 byte long.
1228 blob dec src dst len km
1230 Decapsulate the blob of data at address $src and
1231 store result of $len byte at addr $dst.
1232 $km is the 16 byte key modifier is also required for
1233 generation/use as key for cryptographic operation. Key
1234 modifier should be 16 byte long.
1237 bool "Support 'hash' command"
1240 This provides a way to hash data in memory using various supported
