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_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. diff --git a/doc/README.fdt-control b/doc/README.fdt-control index 85bda03..8352835 100644 --- a/doc/README.fdt-control +++ b/doc/README.fdt-control @@ -156,6 +156,14 @@ To use this, put something like this in your board header file: #define CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS "fdtcontroladdr=10000\0" +Build: + +After board configuration is done, fdt supported u-boot can be build in two ways: +1) build the default dts which is defined from CONFIG_DEFAULT_DEVICE_TREE + $ make +2) build the user specified dts file + $ make DEVICE_TREE=<dts-file-name> + Limitations ----------- diff --git a/doc/README.menu b/doc/README.menu index 6ce6bba..a8999ca 100644 --- a/doc/README.menu +++ b/doc/README.menu @@ -51,7 +51,9 @@ struct menu; * menu_create() - Creates a menu handle with default settings */ struct menu *menu_create(char *title, int timeout, int prompt, - void (*item_data_print)(void *)); + void (*item_data_print)(void *), + char *(*item_choice)(void *), + void *item_choice_data); /* * menu_item_add() - Adds or replaces a menu item @@ -64,6 +66,11 @@ int menu_item_add(struct menu *m, char *item_key, void *item_data); int menu_default_set(struct menu *m, char *item_key); /* + * menu_default_choice() - Set *choice to point to the default item's data + */ +int menu_default_choice(struct menu *m, void **choice); + +/* * menu_get_choice() - Returns the user's selected menu entry, or the * default if the menu is set to not prompt or the timeout expires. */ |
