-ANSI terminal bootmenu command
-
-The "bootmenu" command uses U-Boot menu interfaces and provides
-a simple mechanism for creating menus with different boot items.
-The cursor keys "Up" and "Down" are used for navigation through
-the items. Current active menu item is highlighted and can be
-selected using the "Enter" key. The selection of the highlighted
-menu entry invokes an U-Boot command (or a list of commands)
-associated with this menu entry.
-
-The "bootmenu" command interprets ANSI escape sequencies, so
-an ANSI terminal is required for proper menu rendering and item
-selection.
-
-The assembling of the menu is done via a set of environment variables
-"bootmenu_<num>" and "bootmenu_delay", i.e.:
-
- bootmenu_delay=<delay>
- bootmenu_<num>="<title>=<commands>"
-
- <delay> is the autoboot delay in seconds, after which the first
- menu entry will be selected automatically
-
- <num> is the boot menu entry number, starting from zero
-
- <title> is the text of the menu entry shown on the console
- or on the boot screen
-
- <commands> are commands which will be executed when a menu
- entry is selected
-
- (title and commands are separated by first appearance of '='
- character in the environment variable)
-
-First (optional) argument of the "bootmenu" command is a delay specifier
-and it overrides the delay value defined by "bootmenu_delay" environment
-variable. If the environment variable "bootmenu_delay" is not set or if
-the argument of the "bootmenu" command is not specified, the default delay
-will be CONFIG_BOOTDELAY. If delay is 0, no menu entries will be shown on
-the console (or on the screen) and the command of the first menu entry will
-be called immediately. If delay is less then 0, bootmenu will be shown and
-autoboot will be disabled.
-
-Bootmenu always adds menu entry "U-Boot console" at the end of all menu
-entries specified by environment variables. When selecting this entry
-the bootmenu terminates and the usual U-Boot command prompt is presented
-to the user.
-
-Example environment:
-
- setenv bootmenu_0 Boot 1. kernel=bootm 0x82000000 # Set first menu entry
- setenv bootmenu_1 Boot 2. kernel=bootm 0x83000000 # Set second menu entry
- setenv bootmenu_2 Reset board=reset # Set third menu entry
- setenv bootmenu_3 U-Boot boot order=boot # Set fourth menu entry
- bootmenu 20 # Run bootmenu with autoboot delay 20s
-
-
-The above example will be rendered as below
-(without decorating rectangle):
-
-┌──────────────────────────────────────────┐
-│ │
-│ *** U-Boot Boot Menu *** │
-│ │
-│ Boot 1. kernel │
-│ Boot 2. kernel │
-│ Reset board │
-│ U-Boot boot order │
-│ U-Boot console │
-│ │
-│ Hit any key to stop autoboot: 20 │
-│ Press UP/DOWN to move, ENTER to select │
-│ │
-└──────────────────────────────────────────┘
-
-Selected menu entry will be highlighted - it will have inverted
-background and text colors.
-
-To enable the "bootmenu" command add following definitions to the
-board config file:
-
- #define CONFIG_CMD_BOOTMENU
- #define CONFIG_MENU
-
-To run the bootmenu at startup add these additional definitions:
-
- #define CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_KEYED
- #define CONFIG_BOOTDELAY 30
- #define CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_MENU_SHOW
-
-When you intend to use the bootmenu on color frame buffer console,
-make sure to additionally define CONFIG_CFB_CONSOLE_ANSI in the
-board config file.

-Command definition
-------------------
-
-Commands are added to U-Boot by creating a new command structure.
-This is done by first including command.h, then using the U_BOOT_CMD() or the
-U_BOOT_CMD_COMPLETE macro to fill in a struct cmd_tbl struct.
-
-U_BOOT_CMD(name, maxargs, repeatable, command, "usage", "help")
-U_BOOT_CMD_COMPLETE(name, maxargs, repeatable, command, "usage, "help", comp)
-
-name: The name of the command. THIS IS NOT a string.
-
-maxargs: The maximum number of arguments this function takes including
- the command itself.
-
-repeatable: Either 0 or 1 to indicate if autorepeat is allowed.
-
-command: Pointer to the command function. This is the function that is
- called when the command is issued.
-
-usage: Short description. This is a string.
-
-help: Long description. This is a string. The long description is
- only available if CONFIG_SYS_LONGHELP is defined.
-
-comp: Pointer to the completion function. May be NULL.
- This function is called if the user hits the TAB key while
- entering the command arguments to complete the entry. Command
- completion is only available if CONFIG_AUTO_COMPLETE is defined.
-
-Sub-command definition
-----------------------
-
-Likewise an array of struct cmd_tbl holding sub-commands can be created using either
-of the following macros:
-
-* U_BOOT_CMD_MKENT(name, maxargs, repeatable, command, "usage", "help")
-* U_BOOT_CMD_MKENTCOMPLETE(name, maxargs, repeatable, command, "usage, "help",
- comp)
-
-This table has to be evaluated in the command function of the main command, e.g.
-
- static struct cmd_tbl cmd_sub[] = {
- U_BOOT_CMD_MKENT(foo, CONFIG_SYS_MAXARGS, 1, do_foo, "", ""),
- U_BOOT_CMD_MKENT(bar, CONFIG_SYS_MAXARGS, 1, do_bar, "", ""),
- };
-
- static int do_cmd(struct cmd_tbl *cmdtp, int flag, int argc, char *const argv[])
- {
- struct cmd_tbl *cp;
-
- if (argc < 2)
- return CMD_RET_USAGE;
-
- /* drop sub-command argument */
- argc--;
- argv++;
-
- cp = find_cmd_tbl(argv[0], cmd_ut_sub, ARRAY_SIZE(cmd_sub));
-
- if (cp)
- return cp->cmd(cmdtp, flag, argc, argv);
-
- return CMD_RET_USAGE;
- }
-
-Command function
-----------------
-
-The command function pointer has to be of type
-int (*cmd)(struct cmd_tbl *cmdtp, int flag, int argc, const char *argv[]);
-
-cmdtp: Table entry describing the command (see above).
-
-flag: A bitmap which may contain the following bit:
- CMD_FLAG_REPEAT - The last command is repeated.
- CMD_FLAG_BOOTD - The command is called by the bootd command.
- CMD_FLAG_ENV - The command is called by the run command.
-
-argc: Number of arguments including the command.
-
-argv: Arguments.
-
-Allowable return value are:
-
-CMD_RET_SUCCESS The command was successfully executed.
-
-CMD_RET_FAILURE The command failed.
-
-CMD_RET_USAGE The command was called with invalid parameters. This value
- leads to the display of the usage string.
-
-Completion function
--------------------
-
-The completion function pointer has to be of type
-int (*complete)(int argc, char *const argv[], char last_char,
- int maxv, char *cmdv[]);
-
-argc: Number of arguments including the command.
-
-argv: Arguments.
-
-last_char: The last character in the command line buffer.
-
-maxv: Maximum number of possible completions that may be returned by
- the function.
-
-cmdv: Used to return possible values for the last argument. The last
- possible completion must be followed by NULL.
-
-The function returns the number of possible completions (without the terminating
-NULL value).
-
-Behind the scene
-----------------
-
-The structure created is named with a special prefix and placed by
-the linker in a special section using the linker lists mechanism
-(see include/linker_lists.h)
-
-This makes it possible for the final link to extract all commands
-compiled into any object code and construct a static array so the
-command array can be iterated over using the linker lists macros.
-
-The linker lists feature ensures that the linker does not discard
-these symbols when linking full U-Boot even though they are not
-referenced in the source code as such.
-
-If a new board is defined do not forget to define the command section
-by writing in u-boot.lds ($(srctree)/board/boardname/u-boot.lds) these
-3 lines:
-
- .u_boot_list : {
- KEEP(*(SORT(.u_boot_list*)));
- }
-
-Writing tests
--------------
-
-All new commands should have tests. Tests for existing commands are very
-welcome.
-
-It is fairly easy to write a test for a command. Enable it in sandbox, and
-then add code that runs the command and checks the output.
-
-Here is an example:
-
-/* Test 'acpi items' command */
-static int dm_test_acpi_cmd_items(struct unit_test_state *uts)
-{
- struct acpi_ctx ctx;
- void *buf;
-
- buf = malloc(BUF_SIZE);
- ut_assertnonnull(buf);
-
- ctx.current = buf;
- ut_assertok(acpi_fill_ssdt(&ctx));
- console_record_reset();
- run_command("acpi items", 0);
- ut_assert_nextline("dev 'acpi-test', type 1, size 2");
- ut_assert_nextline("dev 'acpi-test2', type 1, size 2");
- ut_assert_console_end();
-
- ctx.current = buf;
- ut_assertok(acpi_inject_dsdt(&ctx));
- console_record_reset();
- run_command("acpi items", 0);
- ut_assert_nextline("dev 'acpi-test', type 2, size 2");
- ut_assert_nextline("dev 'acpi-test2', type 2, size 2");
- ut_assert_console_end();
-
- console_record_reset();
- run_command("acpi items -d", 0);
- ut_assert_nextline("dev 'acpi-test', type 2, size 2");

+bootmenu command
+================
+
+The "bootmenu" command uses U-Boot menu interfaces and provides
+a simple mechanism for creating menus with different boot items.
+The cursor keys "Up" and "Down" are used for navigation through
+the items. Current active menu item is highlighted and can be
+selected using the "Enter" key. The selection of the highlighted
+menu entry invokes an U-Boot command (or a list of commands)
+associated with this menu entry.
+
+The "bootmenu" command interprets ANSI escape sequencies, so
+an ANSI terminal is required for proper menu rendering and item
+selection.
+
+The assembling of the menu is done via a set of environment variables
+"bootmenu_<num>" and "bootmenu_delay", i.e.::
+
+ bootmenu_delay=<delay>
+ bootmenu_<num>="<title>=<commands>"
+
+<delay>
+ is the autoboot delay in seconds, after which the first
+ menu entry will be selected automatically
+
+<num>
+ is the boot menu entry number, starting from zero
+
+<title>
+ is the text of the menu entry shown on the console
+ or on the boot screen
+
+<commands>
+ are commands which will be executed when a menu
+ entry is selected
+
+Title and commands are separated by the first appearance of a '='
+character in the value of the environment variable.
+
+The first (optional) argument of the "bootmenu" command is a delay specifier
+and it overrides the delay value defined by "bootmenu_delay" environment
+variable. If the environment variable "bootmenu_delay" is not set or if
+the argument of the "bootmenu" command is not specified, the default delay
+will be CONFIG_BOOTDELAY. If delay is 0, no menu entries will be shown on
+the console (or on the screen) and the command of the first menu entry will
+be called immediately. If delay is less then 0, bootmenu will be shown and
+autoboot will be disabled.
+
+Bootmenu always adds menu entry "U-Boot console" at the end of all menu
+entries specified by environment variables. When selecting this entry
+the bootmenu terminates and the usual U-Boot command prompt is presented
+to the user.
+
+Example environment::
+
+ setenv bootmenu_0 Boot 1. kernel=bootm 0x82000000 # Set first menu entry
+ setenv bootmenu_1 Boot 2. kernel=bootm 0x83000000 # Set second menu entry
+ setenv bootmenu_2 Reset board=reset # Set third menu entry
+ setenv bootmenu_3 U-Boot boot order=boot # Set fourth menu entry
+ bootmenu 20 # Run bootmenu with autoboot delay 20s
+
+
+The above example will be rendered as below::
+
+ *** U-Boot Boot Menu ***
+
+ Boot 1. kernel
+ Boot 2. kernel
+ Reset board
+ U-Boot boot order
+ U-Boot console
+
+ Hit any key to stop autoboot: 20
+ Press UP/DOWN to move, ENTER to select
+
+The selected menu entry will be highlighted - it will have inverted
+background and text colors.
+
+The "bootmenu" cammand is enabled by::
+
+ CONFIG_CMD_BOOTMENU=y
+
+To run the bootmenu at startup add these additional settings::
+
+ CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_KEYED=y
+ CONFIG_BOOTDELAY=30
+ CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_MENU_SHOW=y
+
+When you intend to use the bootmenu on a color frame buffer console,
+make sure to additionally define::
+
+ CONFIG_CFB_CONSOLE_ANSI=y
