1 menu "Command line interface"
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.
30 This string is displayed in the command line to the left of the
33 menu "Autoboot options"
39 This enables the autoboot. See doc/README.autoboot for detail.
42 bool "Stop autobooting via specific input key / string"
45 This option enables stopping (aborting) of the automatic
46 boot feature only by issuing a specific input key or
47 string. If not enabled, any input key will abort the
48 U-Boot automatic booting process and bring the device
49 to the U-Boot prompt for user input.
51 config AUTOBOOT_PROMPT
52 string "Autoboot stop prompt"
53 depends on AUTOBOOT_KEYED
54 default "Autoboot in %d seconds\\n"
56 This string is displayed before the boot delay selected by
57 CONFIG_BOOTDELAY starts. If it is not defined there is no
58 output indicating that autoboot is in progress.
60 Note that this define is used as the (only) argument to a
61 printf() call, so it may contain '%' format specifications,
62 provided that it also includes, sepearated by commas exactly
63 like in a printf statement, the required arguments. It is
64 the responsibility of the user to select only such arguments
65 that are valid in the given context.
67 config AUTOBOOT_ENCRYPTION
68 bool "Enable encryption in autoboot stopping"
69 depends on AUTOBOOT_KEYED
72 config AUTOBOOT_DELAY_STR
73 string "Delay autobooting via specific input key / string"
74 depends on AUTOBOOT_KEYED && !AUTOBOOT_ENCRYPTION
76 This option delays the automatic boot feature by issuing
77 a specific input key or string. If CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_DELAY_STR
78 or the environment variable "bootdelaykey" is specified
79 and this string is received from console input before
80 autoboot starts booting, U-Boot gives a command prompt. The
81 U-Boot prompt will time out if CONFIG_BOOT_RETRY_TIME is
82 used, otherwise it never times out.
84 config AUTOBOOT_STOP_STR
85 string "Stop autobooting via specific input key / string"
86 depends on AUTOBOOT_KEYED && !AUTOBOOT_ENCRYPTION
88 This option enables stopping (aborting) of the automatic
89 boot feature only by issuing a specific input key or
90 string. If CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_STOP_STR or the environment
91 variable "bootstopkey" is specified and this string is
92 received from console input before autoboot starts booting,
93 U-Boot gives a command prompt. The U-Boot prompt never
94 times out, even if CONFIG_BOOT_RETRY_TIME is used.
96 config AUTOBOOT_KEYED_CTRLC
97 bool "Enable Ctrl-C autoboot interruption"
98 depends on AUTOBOOT_KEYED && !AUTOBOOT_ENCRYPTION
101 This option allows for the boot sequence to be interrupted
102 by ctrl-c, in addition to the "bootdelaykey" and "bootstopkey".
103 Setting this variable provides an escape sequence from the
104 limited "password" strings.
106 config AUTOBOOT_STOP_STR_SHA256
107 string "Stop autobooting via SHA256 encrypted password"
108 depends on AUTOBOOT_KEYED && AUTOBOOT_ENCRYPTION
110 This option adds the feature to only stop the autobooting,
111 and therefore boot into the U-Boot prompt, when the input
112 string / password matches a values that is encypted via
113 a SHA256 hash and saved in the environment.
117 source "cmd/fastboot/Kconfig"
134 Print ".config" contents.
136 If this option is enabled, the ".config" file contents are embedded
137 in the U-Boot image and can be printed on the console by the "config"
138 command. This provides information of which options are enabled on
145 Print console devices and information.
150 Print information about available CPUs. This normally shows the
151 number of CPUs, type (e.g. manufacturer, architecture, product or
152 internal name) and clock frequency. Other information may be
153 available depending on the CPU driver.

202 This compiles a standard EFI hello world application with U-Boot so
203 that it can be used with the test/py testing framework. This is useful
204 for testing that EFI is working at a basic level, and for bringing
205 up EFI support on a new architecture.
207 No additional space will be required in the resulting U-Boot binary
208 when this option is enabled.
210 config CMD_BOOTEFI_HELLO
211 bool "Allow booting a standard EFI hello world for testing"
212 depends on CMD_BOOTEFI_HELLO_COMPILE
214 This adds a standard EFI hello world application to U-Boot so that
215 it can be used with the 'bootefi hello' command. This is useful
216 for testing that EFI is working at a basic level, and for bringing
217 up EFI support on a new architecture.

397 device (e.g. activated). This is not required for operation, but
398 can be useful to see the state of driver model for debugging or
402 bool "demo - Demonstration commands for driver model"
405 Provides a 'demo' command which can be used to play around with
406 driver model. To use this properly you will need to enable one or
407 both of the demo devices (DM_DEMO_SHAPE and DM_DEMO_SIMPLE).
408 Otherwise you will always get an empty list of devices. The demo
409 devices are defined in the sandbox device tree, so the easiest

649 This provides a way to obtain information about a BMP-format iamge
650 and to display it. BMP (which presumably stands for BitMaP) is a
651 file format defined by Microsoft which supports images of various
652 depths, formats and compression methods. Headers on the file
653 determine the formats used. This command can be used by first loading
654 the image into RAM, then using this command to look at it or display
658 bool "Enable board-specific commands"
660 (deprecated: instead, please define a Kconfig option for each command)
662 Some boards have board-specific commands which are only enabled

665 vary depending on the board.

678 depends on BLOCK_CACHE
679 default y if BLOCK_CACHE
681 Enable the blkcache command, which can be used to control the
682 operation of the cache functions.
683 This is most useful when fine-tuning the operation of the cache
684 during development, but also allows the cache to be disabled when
685 it might hurt performance (e.g. when using the ums command).
688 bool "icache or dcache"
690 Enable the "icache" and "dcache" commands
696 Enable the 'led' command which allows for control of LEDs supported

795 bool "Enable the 'aes' command"
798 This provides a means to encrypt and decrypt data using the AES
799 (Advanced Encryption Standard). This algorithm uses a symetric key
800 and is widely used as a streaming cipher. Different key lengths are
801 supported by the algorithm but this command only supports 128 bits
805 bool "Enable the 'blob' command"
807 This is used with the Freescale secure boot mechanism.
809 Freescale's SEC block has built-in Blob Protocol which provides
810 a method for protecting user-defined data across system power
811 cycles. SEC block protects data in a data structure called a Blob,
812 which provides both confidentiality and integrity protection.
814 Encapsulating data as a blob
815 Each time that the Blob Protocol is used to protect data, a
816 different randomly generated key is used to encrypt the data.
817 This random key is itself encrypted using a key which is derived
818 from SoC's non-volatile secret key and a 16 bit Key identifier.
819 The resulting encrypted key along with encrypted data is called a
820 blob. The non-volatile secure key is available for use only during

838 modifier should be 16 byte long.

842 Decapsulate the blob of data at address $src and
843 store result of $len byte at addr $dst.
844 $km is the 16 byte key modifier is also required for
845 generation/use as key for cryptographic operation. Key
846 modifier should be 16 byte long.

858 bool "Enable the 'tpm test' command"
861 This provides a a series of tests to confirm that the TPM is working
862 correctly. The tests cover initialisation, non-volatile RAM, extend,
