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
|
