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.

Copy to Flash... done

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.
