Command Line Parsing:
|
||||
=====================
|
||||
|
||||
There are two different command line parsers available with U-Boot:
|
||||
the old "simple" one, and the much more powerful "hush" shell:
|
||||
|
||||
Old, simple command line parser:
|
||||
--------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
- supports environment variables (through setenv / saveenv commands)
|
||||
- several commands on one line, separated by ';'
|
||||
- variable substitution using "... ${name} ..." syntax
|
||||
- special characters ('$', ';') can be escaped by prefixing with '\',
|
||||
for example:
|
||||
setenv bootcmd bootm \${address}
|
||||
- You can also escape text by enclosing in single apostrophes, for example:
|
||||
setenv addip 'setenv bootargs $bootargs ip=$ipaddr:$serverip:$gatewayip:$netmask:$hostname::off'
|
||||
|
||||
Hush shell:
|
||||
-----------
|
||||
|
||||
- similar to Bourne shell, with control structures like
|
||||
if...then...else...fi, for...do...done; while...do...done,
|
||||
until...do...done, ...
|
||||
- supports environment ("global") variables (through setenv / saveenv
|
||||
commands) and local shell variables (through standard shell syntax
|
||||
"name=value"); only environment variables can be used with "run"
|
||||
command
|
||||
|
||||
General rules:
|
||||
--------------
|
||||
|
||||
(1) If a command line (or an environment variable executed by a "run"
|
||||
command) contains several commands separated by semicolon, and
|
||||
one of these commands fails, then the remaining commands will be
|
||||
executed anyway.
|
||||
|
||||
(2) If you execute several variables with one call to run (i. e.
|
||||
calling run with a list of variables as arguments), any failing
|
||||
command will cause "run" to terminate, i. e. the remaining
|
||||
variables are not executed.

Command-line Parsing
|
||||
====================
|
||||
|
||||
The command line is available in U-Boot proper, enabled by CONFIG_CMDLINE which
|
||||
is on by default. It is not enabled in SPL.
|
||||
|
||||
There are two different command-line parsers available with U-Boot:

Simple command-line parser
|
||||
--------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
This takes very little code space and offers only basic features:
|
||||
|
||||
- supports environment variables (through setenv / saveenv commands)
|
||||
- several commands on one line, separated by ';'
|
||||
- variable substitution using "... ${name} ..." syntax
|
||||
- special characters ('$', ';') can be escaped by prefixing with '\',
|
||||
for example::
|
||||
|
||||
setenv bootcmd bootm \${address}
|
||||
|
||||
- You can also escape text by enclosing in single apostrophes, for example::
|
||||
|
||||
setenv addip 'setenv bootargs $bootargs ip=$ipaddr:$serverip:$gatewayip:$netmask:$hostname::off'
|
||||
|
||||
Hush shell
|
||||
----------
|
||||
|
||||
This is similar to Bourne shell, with control structures like:
|
||||
|
||||
- `if`... `then` ... `else`... `fi`
|
||||
- `for`... `do` ... `done`
|
||||
- `while` ... `do` ... `done`
|
||||
- `until` ... `do` ... `done`
|
||||
|
||||
Hush supports environment ("global") variables (through setenv / saveenv
|
||||
commands) and local shell variables (through standard shell syntax
|
||||
`name=value`); only environment variables can be used with the "run" command
|
||||
|
||||
The Hush shell is enabled with `CONFIG_HUSH_PARSER`.
