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
57 string "Command execution tracer"
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.
85 config AUTOBOOT_PROMPT
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
99 that are valid in the given context.

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.
118 config AUTOBOOT_STOP_STR
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.

131 bool "Enable Ctrl-C autoboot interruption"
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

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

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

1609 supported by the algorithm but this command only supports 128 bits
1613 bool "Enable the 'blob' command"
1615 This is used with the Freescale secure boot mechanism.
1617 Freescale's SEC block has built-in Blob Protocol which provides
1618 a method for protecting user-defined data across system power
1619 cycles. SEC block protects data in a data structure called a Blob,
1620 which provides both confidentiality and integrity protection.
1622 Encapsulating data as a blob
1623 Each time that the Blob Protocol is used to protect data, a
1624 different randomly generated key is used to encrypt the data.
1625 This random key is itself encrypted using a key which is derived
1626 from SoC's non-volatile secret key and a 16 bit Key identifier.
1627 The resulting encrypted key along with encrypted data is called a
1628 blob. The non-volatile secure key is available for use only during
