2 Commands are added to U-Boot by creating a new command structure.
3 This is done by first including command.h, then using the U_BOOT_CMD() macro
4 to fill in a cmd_tbl_t struct.
6 U_BOOT_CMD(name,maxargs,repeatable,command,"usage","help")
8 name: is the name of the commad. THIS IS NOT a string.
9 maxargs: the maximum number of arguments this function takes
10 repeatable: either 0 or 1 to indicate if autorepeat is allowed
11 command: Function pointer (*cmd)(struct cmd_tbl_s *, int, int, char *[]);
12 usage: Short description. This is a string
13 help: Long description. This is a string
16 **** Behind the scene ******
18 The structure created is named with a special prefix (__u_boot_cmd_)
19 and placed by the linker in a special section.
21 This makes it possible for the final link to extract all commands
22 compiled into any object code and construct a static array so the
23 command can be found in an array starting at __u_boot_cmd_start.
25 If a new board is defined do not forget to define the command section
26 by writing in u-boot.lds ($(TOPDIR)/board/boardname/u-boot.lds) these
29 __u_boot_cmd_start = .;
30 .u_boot_cmd : { *(.u_boot_cmd) }
