1 | The config option CONFIG_SILENT_CONSOLE can be used to quiet messages | |
2 | on the console. If the option has been enabled, the output can be | |
3 | silenced by setting the environment variable "silent". | |
4 | ||
5 | - CONFIG_SILENT_CONSOLE_UPDATE_ON_SET | |
6 | When the "silent" variable is changed with env set, the change | |
7 | will take effect immediately. | |
8 | ||
9 | - CONFIG_SILENT_CONSOLE_UPDATE_ON_RELOC | |
10 | Some environments are not available until relocation (e.g. NAND) | |
11 | so this will make the value in the flash env take effect at | |
12 | relocation. | |
13 | ||
14 | The following actions are taken if "silent" is set at boot time: | |
15 | ||
16 | - Until the console devices have been initialized, output has to be | |
17 | suppressed by testing for the flag "GD_FLG_SILENT" in "gd->flags". | |
18 | ||
19 | - When the console devices have been initialized, "stdout" and | |
20 | "stderr" are set to "nulldev", so subsequent messages are | |
21 | suppressed automatically. Make sure to enable "nulldev" by | |
22 | #defining CONFIG_SYS_DEVICE_NULLDEV in your board config file. | |
23 | ||
24 | - When booting a linux kernel, the "bootargs" are fixed up so that | |
25 | the argument "console=" will be in the command line, no matter how | |
26 | it was set in "bootargs" before. If you don't want the linux command | |
27 | line to be affected, define CONFIG_SILENT_U_BOOT_ONLY in your board | |
28 | config file as well, and this part of the feature will be disabled. |
