Enables an 'i2c edid' command which can read EDID
information over I2C from an attached LCD display.
-- Splash Screen Support: CONFIG_SPLASH_SCREEN
-
- If this option is set, the environment is checked for
- a variable "splashimage". If found, the usual display
- of logo, copyright and system information on the LCD
- is suppressed and the BMP image at the address
- specified in "splashimage" is loaded instead. The
- console is redirected to the "nulldev", too. This
- allows for a "silent" boot where a splash screen is
- loaded very quickly after power-on.
-
- CONFIG_SPLASHIMAGE_GUARD
-
- If this option is set, then U-Boot will prevent the environment
- variable "splashimage" from being set to a problematic address
- (see doc/README.displaying-bmps).
- This option is useful for targets where, due to alignment
- restrictions, an improperly aligned BMP image will cause a data
- abort. If you think you will not have problems with unaligned
- accesses (for example because your toolchain prevents them)
- there is no need to set this option.
-
- CONFIG_SPLASH_SCREEN_ALIGN
-
- If this option is set the splash image can be freely positioned
- on the screen. Environment variable "splashpos" specifies the
- position as "x,y". If a positive number is given it is used as
- number of pixel from left/top. If a negative number is given it
- is used as number of pixel from right/bottom. You can also
- specify 'm' for centering the image.
-
- Example:
- setenv splashpos m,m
- => image at center of screen
-
- setenv splashpos 30,20
- => image at x = 30 and y = 20
-
- setenv splashpos -10,m
- => vertically centered image
- at x = dspWidth - bmpWidth - 9
-
-- Gzip compressed BMP image support: CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_GZIP
-
- If this option is set, additionally to standard BMP
- images, gzipped BMP images can be displayed via the
- splashscreen support or the bmp command.
-
-- Run length encoded BMP image (RLE8) support: CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_RLE8
-
- If this option is set, 8-bit RLE compressed BMP images
- can be displayed via the splashscreen support or the
- bmp command.

is not available.
- CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME - Some DHCP servers are capable
- to do a dynamic update of a DNS server. To do this, they

- low level initializations (like setting up the memory
- controller) are omitted and/or U-Boot does not

-Command Line Parsing:
-=====================
-
-There are two different command line parsers available with U-Boot:
-the old "simple" one, and the much more powerful "hush" shell:
-
-Old, simple command line parser:
---------------------------------
-
-- supports environment variables (through setenv / saveenv commands)
-- several commands on one line, separated by ';'
-- variable substitution using "... ${name} ..." syntax
-- special characters ('$', ';') can be escaped by prefixing with '\',
- for example:
- setenv bootcmd bootm \${address}
-- You can also escape text by enclosing in single apostrophes, for example:
- setenv addip 'setenv bootargs $bootargs ip=$ipaddr:$serverip:$gatewayip:$netmask:$hostname::off'
-
-Hush shell:
------------
-
-- similar to Bourne shell, with control structures like
- if...then...else...fi, for...do...done; while...do...done,
- until...do...done, ...
-- supports environment ("global") variables (through setenv / saveenv
- commands) and local shell variables (through standard shell syntax
- "name=value"); only environment variables can be used with "run"
- command
-
-General rules:
---------------
-
-(1) If a command line (or an environment variable executed by a "run"
- command) contains several commands separated by semicolon, and
- one of these commands fails, then the remaining commands will be
- executed anyway.
-
-(2) If you execute several variables with one call to run (i. e.
- calling run with a list of variables as arguments), any failing
- command will cause "run" to terminate, i. e. the remaining
- variables are not executed.
Note for Redundant Ethernet Interfaces:
=======================================
Load Address: 0x00000000
Entry Point: 0x00000000
-The "dumpimage" is a tool to disassemble images built by mkimage. Its "-i"
-option performs the converse operation of the mkimage's second form (the "-d"
-option). Given an image built by mkimage, the dumpimage extracts a "data file"
-from the image:
-
- tools/dumpimage -i image -T type -p position data_file
- -i ==> extract from the 'image' a specific 'data_file'
- -T ==> set image type to 'type'
- -p ==> 'position' (starting at 0) of the 'data_file' inside the 'image'
-
+The "dumpimage" tool can be used to disassemble or list the contents of images
+built by mkimage. See dumpimage's help output (-h) for details.
Installing a Linux Image:
-------------------------

especially for kermit binary protocol download ("loadb" command), and
