cp command
==========
Synopsis
--------
::
cp source target count
cp.b source target count
cp.w source target count
cp.l source target count
cp.q source target count
Description
-----------
The cp command is used to copy *count* chunks of memory from the *source*
address to the *target* address. If the *target* address points to NOR flash,
the flash is programmed.
The number bytes in one chunk is defined by the suffix defaulting to 4 bytes:
====== ==========
suffix chunk size
====== ==========
.b 1 byte
.w 2 bytes
.l 4 bytes
.q 8 bytes
<none> 4 bytes
====== ==========
source
source address, hexadecimal
target
target address, hexadecimal
count
number of words to be copied, hexadecimal
Examples
--------
The example device has a NOR flash where the lower part of the flash is
protected. We first copy to RAM, then to unprotected flash. Last we try to
write to protectd flash.

- path: /flash@0
- type: NOR flash

Copy to Flash... done
=> cp.b 4020000 0 20000
Copy to Flash... Can't write to protected Flash sectors

Configuration
-------------
The cp command is available if CONFIG_CMD_MEMORY=y. Support for 64 bit words
(cp.q) depends on CONFIG_MEM_SUPPORT_64BIT_DATA=y. Copying to flash depends on
CONFIG_MTD_NOR_FLASH=y.
Return value
------------
The return value $? is set to 0 (true) if the command was successfully,
1 (false) otherwise.
