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").

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.

1126 resetting the IDE interface, printing the partition table and
1127 geting device info. It also enables the 'diskboot' command which
1128 permits booting from an IDE drive.
1131 bool "io - Support for performing I/O accesses"
1133 Provides an 'iod' command to display I/O space and an 'iow' command
1134 to write values to the I/O space. This can be useful for manually
1135 checking the state of devices during boot when debugging device
1139 bool "iotrace - Support for tracing I/O activity"
1141 Provides an 'iotrace' command which supports recording I/O reads and
1142 writes in a trace buffer in memory . It also maintains a checksum
1143 of the trace records (even if space is exhausted) so that the
1144 sequence of I/O accesses can be verified.
1146 When debugging drivers it is useful to see what I/O accesses were
1147 done and in what order.
1149 Even if the individual accesses are of little interest it can be
1150 useful to verify that the access pattern is consistent each time
1151 an operation is performed. In this case a checksum can be used to
1152 characterise the operation of a driver. The checksum can be compared
1153 across different runs of the operation to verify that the driver is
1156 In particular, when performing major refactoring of the driver, where
1157 the access pattern should not change, the checksum provides assurance
1158 that the refactoring work has not broken the driver.
1160 This works by sneaking into the io.h heder for an architecture and
1161 redirecting I/O accesses through iotrace's tracing mechanism.
1163 For now no commands are provided to examine the trace buffer. The
1164 format is fairly simple, so 'md' is a reasonable substitute.
1166 Note: The checksum feature is only useful for I/O regions where the
1167 contents do not change outside of software control. Where this is not
1168 suitable you can fall back to manually comparing the addresses. It
1169 might be useful to enhance tracing to only checksum the accesses and
1170 not the data read/written.

2198 bool "Enable the 'aes' command"
2201 This provides a means to encrypt and decrypt data using the AES
2202 (Advanced Encryption Standard). This algorithm uses a symetric key
2203 and is widely used as a streaming cipher. Different key lengths are
2204 supported by the algorithm but this command only supports 128 bits
2208 bool "Enable the 'blob' command"
2209 depends on !MX6ULL && !MX6SLL && !MX6SL
2210 select IMX_HAB if ARCH_MX6 || ARCH_MX7 || ARCH_MX7ULP || ARCH_IMX8M
2212 This is used with the Freescale secure boot mechanism.
2214 Freescale's SEC block has built-in Blob Protocol which provides
2215 a method for protecting user-defined data across system power
2216 cycles. SEC block protects data in a data structure called a Blob,
2217 which provides both confidentiality and integrity protection.
2219 Encapsulating data as a blob
2220 Each time that the Blob Protocol is used to protect data, a
2221 different randomly generated key is used to encrypt the data.
2222 This random key is itself encrypted using a key which is derived
2223 from SoC's non-volatile secret key and a 16 bit Key identifier.
2224 The resulting encrypted key along with encrypted data is called a
2225 blob. The non-volatile secure key is available for use only during
2228 During decapsulation, the reverse process is performed to get back
2232 blob enc - encapsulating data as a cryptgraphic blob
2233 blob dec - decapsulating cryptgraphic blob to get the data
2237 blob enc src dst len km
2239 Encapsulate and create blob of data $len bytes long
2240 at address $src and store the result at address $dst.
2241 $km is the 16 byte key modifier is also required for
2242 generation/use as key for cryptographic operation. Key
2243 modifier should be 16 byte long.
2245 blob dec src dst len km
2247 Decapsulate the blob of data at address $src and
2248 store result of $len byte at addr $dst.
2249 $km is the 16 byte key modifier is also required for
2250 generation/use as key for cryptographic operation. Key
2251 modifier should be 16 byte long.
