1 The config option CONFIG_SILENT_CONSOLE can be used to quiet messages
2 on the console. If the option has been enabled, the output can be
3 silenced by setting the environment variable "silent".
5 - CONFIG_SILENT_CONSOLE_UPDATE_ON_SET
6 When the "silent" variable is changed with env set, the change
7 will take effect immediately.
9 - CONFIG_SILENT_CONSOLE_UPDATE_ON_RELOC
10 Some environments are not available until relocation (e.g. NAND)
11 so this will make the value in the flash env take effect at
14 The following actions are taken if "silent" is set at boot time:
16 - Until the console devices have been initialized, output has to be
17 suppressed by testing for the flag "GD_FLG_SILENT" in "gd->flags".
19 - When the console devices have been initialized, "stdout" and
20 "stderr" are set to "nulldev", so subsequent messages are
21 suppressed automatically. Make sure to enable "nulldev" by
22 #defining CONFIG_SYS_DEVICE_NULLDEV in your board config file.
24 - When booting a linux kernel, the "bootargs" are fixed up so that
25 the argument "console=" will be in the command line, no matter how
26 it was set in "bootargs" before.
