Comparing a hex dump on the U-Boot command line with the contents of a file on the host system is fairly easy and convenient to do manually if it is small. But the format used hexdump by default differs from that shown by U-Boot. Add a note about how to make them the same. (For large dumps, writing the data to the network with tftpput, or to a USB stick with ext4save is easiest.) Signed-off-by: Simon Glass <sjg@chromium.org>

Description
|
|
-----------
|
|
|
|
The md command is used to dump the contents of memory. It uses a standard
|
|
format that includes the address, hex data and ASCII display. It supports
|
|
various data sizes and uses the endianness of the target.
|
|
|
|
The specified data_size and length become the defaults for future memory
|
|
commands commands.
|
|
|
|
address
|
|
start address to display
|
|
|
|
data_size
|
|
size of each value to display (defaults to .l):

========= ===================
|
|
data_size Output size
|
|
========= ===================
|
|
.b byte
|
|
.w word (16 bits)
|
|
.l long (32 bits)
|
|
.q quadword (64 bits)
|
|
========= ===================
|
|
|
|
length
|
|
number of values to dump. Defaults to 40 (0d64). Note that this is not
|
|
the same as the number of bytes, unless .b is used.
|
|
|
|
Note that the format of 'md.b' can be emulated from linux with::
|
|
|
|
# This works but requires using sed to get the extra spaces
|
|
# <addr> is the address, <f> is the filename
|
|
xxd -o <addr> -g1 <f> |sed 's/ / /' >bad
|
|
|
|
# This uses a single tool but the offset always starts at 0
|
|
# <f> is the filename
|
|
hexdump -v -e '"%08.8_ax: " 16/1 "%02x " " "' -e '16/1 "%_p" "\n" ' <f>

The empty commands cause a 'repeat', so that md shows the next available data
|
|
in the same format as before.
