* various cmd_* files: fixed layout a little bitFrans Meulenbroeks2010-08-09-1/+2
| | | | | | | | | | Most of the files have U_BOOT_CMD on a separate line, but a few didn't and had the first line on the same line as U_BOOT_CMD. This changes these files by adding a line break and a tab Signed-off-by: Frans Meulenbroeks <fransmeulenbroeks@gmail.com>
* Make sure that argv[] argument pointers are not modified.Wolfgang Denk2010-07-04-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The hush shell dynamically allocates (and re-allocates) memory for the argument strings in the "char *argv[]" argument vector passed to commands. Any code that modifies these pointers will cause serious corruption of the malloc data structures and crash U-Boot, so make sure the compiler can check that no such modifications are being done by changing the code into "char * const argv[]". This modification is the result of debugging a strange crash caused after adding a new command, which used the following argument processing code which has been working perfectly fine in all Unix systems since version 6 - but not so in U-Boot: int main (int argc, char **argv) { while (--argc > 0 && **++argv == '-') { /* ====> */ while (*++*argv) { switch (**argv) { case 'd': debug++; break; ... default: usage (); } } } ... } The line marked "====>" will corrupt the malloc data structures and usually cause U-Boot to crash when the next command gets executed by the shell. With the modification, the compiler will prevent this with an error: increment of read-only location '*argv' N.B.: The code above can be trivially rewritten like this: while (--argc > 0 && **++argv == '-') { char *arg = *argv; while (*++arg) { switch (*arg) { ...

* General help message cleanupWolfgang Denk2009-06-12-1/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Many of the help messages were not really helpful; for example, many commands that take no arguments would not print a correct synopsis line, but "No additional help available." which is not exactly wrong, but not helpful either. Commit ``Make "usage" messages more helpful.'' changed this partially. But it also became clear that lots of "Usage" and "Help" messages (fields "usage" and "help" in struct cmd_tbl_s respective) were actually redundant. This patch cleans this up - for example: Before: => help dtt dtt - Digital Thermometer and Thermostat Usage: dtt - Read temperature from digital thermometer and thermostat. After: => help dtt dtt - Read temperature from Digital Thermometer and Thermostat Usage: dtt Signed-off-by: Wolfgang Denk <wd@denx.de>

* Blackfin: bootldr: implement BF53x/BF56x LDR loaderMike Frysinger2009-01-28-13/+124
| | | | | | | The BF53x/BF56x parts do not have an on-chip ROM to boot LDRs out of arbitrary memory locations, so implement a basic one in software. Signed-off-by: Mike Frysinger <vapier@gentoo.org>
* Command usage cleanupPeter Tyser2009-01-28-1/+1
| | | | | | | | Remove command name from all command "usage" fields and update common/command.c to display "name - usage" instead of just "usage". Also remove newlines from command usage fields. Signed-off-by: Peter Tyser <ptyser@xes-inc.com>
* Blackfin: move bootldr command to common codeMike Frysinger2008-03-15-0/+64
This moves the Blackfin-common bootldr command out of the BF537-STAMP specific board directory and into the common directory so that all Blackfin boards may utilize it. Signed-off-by: Mike Frysinger <vapier@gentoo.org>
