-PXE Boot
-========
+PXE Boot and extlinux.conf
+==========================
The ``pxe`` commands provide a near subset of the functionality
provided by the PXELINUX boot loader. This allows U-Boot based systems
to be controlled remotely using the same PXE based techniques that
many non U-Boot based servers use.
+The ``sysboot`` command and Extlinux boot method use the same file
+format as PXE boot for ``extlinux.conf``.
+
Commands
--------
``pxe get``
- **syntax:** ``pxe get``
+ **Syntax:** ``pxe get``
follows PXELINUX's rules for retrieving configuration files
from a tftp server, and supports a subset of PXELINUX's config
http://syslinux.zytor.com/wiki/index.php/Doc/pxelinux
``pxe boot``
- **syntax:** ``pxe boot [pxefile_addr_r]``
+ **Syntax:** ``pxe boot [pxefile_addr_r]``
Interprets a pxe file stored in memory.
There are some environment variables that may need to be set,
depending on conditions, see the Environment section below.
+``sysboot``
+ **Syntax:** ``sysboot [-p] <interface> <dev[:part]> <ext2|fat|any> [addr] [filename]``
+
+ Load and boot an ``extlinux.conf`` file from a local
+ filesystem. Paths in the ``extlinux.conf`` file (kernel,
+ initrd, FDT and overlays) will be interpreted within that
+ filesystem.
+
+ Example:
+
+ ``sysboot mmc 0.0:2 any ${pxefile_addr_r} /boot/extlinux.conf``
