125 module, if U-Boot is chain-loaded from something else. ACPI tables

1148 which control the behaviour of the device. The command uses the

1191 resetting the IDE interface, printing the partition table and
1192 geting device info. It also enables the 'diskboot' command which
1193 permits booting from an IDE drive.
1196 bool "io - Support for performing I/O accesses"
1198 Provides an 'iod' command to display I/O space and an 'iow' command
1199 to write values to the I/O space. This can be useful for manually
1200 checking the state of devices during boot when debugging device
1204 bool "iotrace - Support for tracing I/O activity"
1206 Provides an 'iotrace' command which supports recording I/O reads and
1207 writes in a trace buffer in memory . It also maintains a checksum
1208 of the trace records (even if space is exhausted) so that the
1209 sequence of I/O accesses can be verified.
1211 When debugging drivers it is useful to see what I/O accesses were
1212 done and in what order.
1214 Even if the individual accesses are of little interest it can be
1215 useful to verify that the access pattern is consistent each time
1216 an operation is performed. In this case a checksum can be used to
1217 characterise the operation of a driver. The checksum can be compared
1218 across different runs of the operation to verify that the driver is
1221 In particular, when performing major refactoring of the driver, where
1222 the access pattern should not change, the checksum provides assurance
1223 that the refactoring work has not broken the driver.
1225 This works by sneaking into the io.h heder for an architecture and
1226 redirecting I/O accesses through iotrace's tracing mechanism.
1228 For now no commands are provided to examine the trace buffer. The
1229 format is fairly simple, so 'md' is a reasonable substitute.
1231 Note: The checksum feature is only useful for I/O regions where the
1232 contents do not change outside of software control. Where this is not
1233 suitable you can fall back to manually comparing the addresses. It
1234 might be useful to enhance tracing to only checksum the accesses and
1235 not the data read/written.

2380 Enabling this will provide 'setcurs' and 'lcdputs' commands which
2381 support cursor positioning and drawing strings on the video
2382 console (framebuffer).
2384 The name 'lcdputs' is a bit of a misnomer, but so named because the
2385 video device is often an LCD.

2458 This is used with the Freescale secure boot mechanism.
2460 Freescale's SEC block has built-in Blob Protocol which provides
2461 a method for protecting user-defined data across system power
2462 cycles. SEC block protects data in a data structure called a Blob,
2463 which provides both confidentiality and integrity protection.
2465 Encapsulating data as a blob
2466 Each time that the Blob Protocol is used to protect data, a
2467 different randomly generated key is used to encrypt the data.
2468 This random key is itself encrypted using a key which is derived
2469 from SoC's non-volatile secret key and a 16 bit Key identifier.
2470 The resulting encrypted key along with encrypted data is called a
2471 blob. The non-volatile secure key is available for use only during

2550 command requires a suitable TPM on your board and the correct driver
2556 bool "Enable the 'tpm test' command"
2559 This provides a a series of tests to confirm that the TPMv1.x is
2560 working correctly. The tests cover initialisation, non-volatile RAM,
