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
56 menu "Autoboot options"
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

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.
158 Print ".config" contents.
160 If this option is enabled, the ".config" file contents are embedded
161 in the U-Boot image and can be printed on the console by the "config"
162 command. This provides information of which options are enabled on
169 Print console devices and information.
174 Print information about available CPUs. This normally shows the
175 number of CPUs, type (e.g. manufacturer, architecture, product or
176 internal name) and clock frequency. Other information may be

347 bool "zboot - x86 boot command"
349 With x86 machines it is common to boot a bzImage file which
350 contains both a kernel and a setup.bin file. The latter includes
351 configuration information from the dark ages which x86 boards still
352 need to pick things out of.
354 Consider using FIT in preference to this since it supports directly

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

1231 bool "Enable 'bmp' command"
1232 depends on LCD || DM_VIDEO || VIDEO
1234 This provides a way to obtain information about a BMP-format iamge
1235 and to display it. BMP (which presumably stands for BitMaP) is a
1236 file format defined by Microsoft which supports images of various
1237 depths, formats and compression methods. Headers on the file
1238 determine the formats used. This command can be used by first loading
1239 the image into RAM, then using this command to look at it or display
1242 config CMD_BOOTCOUNT
1244 depends on BOOTCOUNT_LIMIT
1246 Enable the bootcount command, which allows interrogation and
1247 reset of the bootcounter.
1250 bool "Enable board-specific commands"
1252 (deprecated: instead, please define a Kconfig option for each command)
1254 Some boards have board-specific commands which are only enabled
1255 during developemnt and need to be turned off for production. This
1256 option provides a way to control this. The commands that are enabled
1257 vary depending on the board.
1259 config CMD_BKOPS_ENABLE
1260 bool "mmc bkops enable"
1264 Enable command for setting manual background operations handshake

1351 source "cmd/mvebu/Kconfig"
1354 bool "terminal - provides a way to attach a serial terminal"
1356 Provides a 'cu'-like serial terminal command. This can be used to
1357 access other serial ports from the system console. The terminal
1358 is very simple with no special processing of characters. As with
1359 cu, you can press ~. (tilde followed by period) to exit.
1362 bool "uuid, guid - generation of unique IDs"
1365 This enables two commands:
1367 uuid - generate random Universally Unique Identifier

1420 menu "Security commands"
1422 bool "Enable the 'aes' command"
1425 This provides a means to encrypt and decrypt data using the AES
1426 (Advanced Encryption Standard). This algorithm uses a symetric key
1427 and is widely used as a streaming cipher. Different key lengths are
1428 supported by the algorithm but this command only supports 128 bits
1432 bool "Enable the 'blob' command"
1434 This is used with the Freescale secure boot mechanism.
1436 Freescale's SEC block has built-in Blob Protocol which provides
1437 a method for protecting user-defined data across system power
1438 cycles. SEC block protects data in a data structure called a Blob,
1439 which provides both confidentiality and integrity protection.
1441 Encapsulating data as a blob
1442 Each time that the Blob Protocol is used to protect data, a
1443 different randomly generated key is used to encrypt the data.
1444 This random key is itself encrypted using a key which is derived
1445 from SoC's non-volatile secret key and a 16 bit Key identifier.
1446 The resulting encrypted key along with encrypted data is called a
1447 blob. The non-volatile secure key is available for use only during
1450 During decapsulation, the reverse process is performed to get back
1454 blob enc - encapsulating data as a cryptgraphic blob
1455 blob dec - decapsulating cryptgraphic blob to get the data
1459 blob enc src dst len km
1461 Encapsulate and create blob of data $len bytes long
1462 at address $src and store the result at address $dst.
1463 $km is the 16 byte key modifier is also required for
1464 generation/use as key for cryptographic operation. Key
1465 modifier should be 16 byte long.
1467 blob dec src dst len km
1469 Decapsulate the blob of data at address $src and
1470 store result of $len byte at addr $dst.
1471 $km is the 16 byte key modifier is also required for
1472 generation/use as key for cryptographic operation. Key
1473 modifier should be 16 byte long.
1476 bool "Support 'hash' command"
1479 This provides a way to hash data in memory using various supported
1480 algorithms (such as SHA1, MD5, CRC32). The computed digest can be
1481 saved to memory or to an environment variable. It is also possible
1482 to verify a hash against data in memory.
1485 bool "Support the 'hvc' command"
1486 depends on ARM_SMCCC
