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.

61 This option enables the possiblity to print all commands before
62 executing them and after all variables are evaluated (similar
63 to Bash's xtrace/'set -x' feature).
64 To enable the tracer a variable "xtrace" needs to be defined in
67 menu "Autoboot options"
73 This enables the autoboot. See doc/README.autoboot for detail.
76 bool "Stop autobooting via specific input key / string"
79 This option enables stopping (aborting) of the automatic
80 boot feature only by issuing a specific input key or
81 string. If not enabled, any input key will abort the
82 U-Boot automatic booting process and bring the device
83 to the U-Boot prompt for user input.

86 string "Autoboot stop prompt"
87 depends on AUTOBOOT_KEYED
88 default "Autoboot in %d seconds\\n"
90 This string is displayed before the boot delay selected by
91 CONFIG_BOOTDELAY starts. If it is not defined there is no
92 output indicating that autoboot is in progress.
94 Note that this define is used as the (only) argument to a
95 printf() call, so it may contain '%' format specifications,
96 provided that it also includes, sepearated by commas exactly
97 like in a printf statement, the required arguments. It is
98 the responsibility of the user to select only such arguments

110 This option delays the automatic boot feature by issuing
111 a specific input key or string. If CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_DELAY_STR
112 or the environment variable "bootdelaykey" is specified
113 and this string is received from console input before
114 autoboot starts booting, U-Boot gives a command prompt. The
115 U-Boot prompt will time out if CONFIG_BOOT_RETRY_TIME is
116 used, otherwise it never times out.

119 string "Stop autobooting via specific input key / string"
120 depends on AUTOBOOT_KEYED && !AUTOBOOT_ENCRYPTION
122 This option enables stopping (aborting) of the automatic
123 boot feature only by issuing a specific input key or
124 string. If CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_STOP_STR or the environment
125 variable "bootstopkey" is specified and this string is
126 received from console input before autoboot starts booting,
127 U-Boot gives a command prompt. The U-Boot prompt never
128 times out, even if CONFIG_BOOT_RETRY_TIME is used.

132 depends on AUTOBOOT_KEYED && !AUTOBOOT_ENCRYPTION
135 This option allows for the boot sequence to be interrupted
136 by ctrl-c, in addition to the "bootdelaykey" and "bootstopkey".
137 Setting this variable provides an escape sequence from the
138 limited "password" strings.
140 config AUTOBOOT_STOP_STR_SHA256
141 string "Stop autobooting via SHA256 encrypted password"
142 depends on AUTOBOOT_KEYED && AUTOBOOT_ENCRYPTION
144 This option adds the feature to only stop the autobooting,
145 and therefore boot into the U-Boot prompt, when the input
146 string / password matches a values that is encypted via
147 a SHA256 hash and saved in the environment.
169 Print ".config" contents.
171 If this option is enabled, the ".config" file contents are embedded
172 in the U-Boot image and can be printed on the console by the "config"
173 command. This provides information of which options are enabled on

806 bool "io - Support for performing I/O accesses"
808 Provides an 'iod' command to display I/O space and an 'iow' command
809 to write values to the I/O space. This can be useful for manually
810 checking the state of devices during boot when debugging device
814 bool "iotrace - Support for tracing I/O activity"
816 Provides an 'iotrace' command which supports recording I/O reads and
817 writes in a trace buffer in memory . It also maintains a checksum
818 of the trace records (even if space is exhausted) so that the
819 sequence of I/O accesses can be verified.
821 When debugging drivers it is useful to see what I/O accesses were
822 done and in what order.
824 Even if the individual accesses are of little interest it can be
825 useful to verify that the access pattern is consistent each time
826 an operation is performed. In this case a checksum can be used to
827 characterise the operation of a driver. The checksum can be compared
828 across different runs of the operation to verify that the driver is
831 In particular, when performing major refactoring of the driver, where
832 the access pattern should not change, the checksum provides assurance
833 that the refactoring work has not broken the driver.
835 This works by sneaking into the io.h heder for an architecture and
836 redirecting I/O accesses through iotrace's tracing mechanism.
838 For now no commands are provided to examine the trace buffer. The
839 format is fairly simple, so 'md' is a reasonable substitute.
841 Note: The checksum feature is only useful for I/O regions where the
842 contents do not change outside of software control. Where this is not
843 suitable you can fall back to manually comparing the addresses. It
844 might be useful to enhance tracing to only checksum the accesses and
845 not the data read/written.

1585 bool "Enable the 'aes' command"
1588 This provides a means to encrypt and decrypt data using the AES
1589 (Advanced Encryption Standard). This algorithm uses a symetric key
1590 and is widely used as a streaming cipher. Different key lengths are
1591 supported by the algorithm but this command only supports 128 bits
1595 bool "Enable the 'blob' command"
1597 This is used with the Freescale secure boot mechanism.
1599 Freescale's SEC block has built-in Blob Protocol which provides
1600 a method for protecting user-defined data across system power
1601 cycles. SEC block protects data in a data structure called a Blob,
1602 which provides both confidentiality and integrity protection.
1604 Encapsulating data as a blob
1605 Each time that the Blob Protocol is used to protect data, a
1606 different randomly generated key is used to encrypt the data.
1607 This random key is itself encrypted using a key which is derived
1608 from SoC's non-volatile secret key and a 16 bit Key identifier.
1609 The resulting encrypted key along with encrypted data is called a
1610 blob. The non-volatile secure key is available for use only during
1613 During decapsulation, the reverse process is performed to get back
1617 blob enc - encapsulating data as a cryptgraphic blob
