125 module, if U-Boot is chain-loaded from something else. ACPI tables

1155 which control the behaviour of the device. The command uses the

1198 resetting the IDE interface, printing the partition table and
1199 geting device info. It also enables the 'diskboot' command which
1200 permits booting from an IDE drive.
1203 bool "io - Support for performing I/O accesses"
1205 Provides an 'iod' command to display I/O space and an 'iow' command
1206 to write values to the I/O space. This can be useful for manually
1207 checking the state of devices during boot when debugging device
1211 bool "iotrace - Support for tracing I/O activity"
1213 Provides an 'iotrace' command which supports recording I/O reads and
1214 writes in a trace buffer in memory . It also maintains a checksum
1215 of the trace records (even if space is exhausted) so that the
1216 sequence of I/O accesses can be verified.
1218 When debugging drivers it is useful to see what I/O accesses were
1219 done and in what order.
1221 Even if the individual accesses are of little interest it can be
1222 useful to verify that the access pattern is consistent each time
1223 an operation is performed. In this case a checksum can be used to
1224 characterise the operation of a driver. The checksum can be compared
1225 across different runs of the operation to verify that the driver is
1228 In particular, when performing major refactoring of the driver, where
1229 the access pattern should not change, the checksum provides assurance
1230 that the refactoring work has not broken the driver.
1232 This works by sneaking into the io.h heder for an architecture and
1233 redirecting I/O accesses through iotrace's tracing mechanism.
1235 For now no commands are provided to examine the trace buffer. The
1236 format is fairly simple, so 'md' is a reasonable substitute.
1238 Note: The checksum feature is only useful for I/O regions where the
1239 contents do not change outside of software control. Where this is not
1240 suitable you can fall back to manually comparing the addresses. It
1241 might be useful to enhance tracing to only checksum the accesses and
1242 not the data read/written.

2387 Enabling this will provide 'setcurs' and 'lcdputs' commands which
2388 support cursor positioning and drawing strings on the video
2389 console (framebuffer).
2391 The name 'lcdputs' is a bit of a misnomer, but so named because the
2392 video device is often an LCD.

2465 This is used with the Freescale secure boot mechanism.
2467 Freescale's SEC block has built-in Blob Protocol which provides
2468 a method for protecting user-defined data across system power
2469 cycles. SEC block protects data in a data structure called a Blob,
2470 which provides both confidentiality and integrity protection.
2472 Encapsulating data as a blob
2473 Each time that the Blob Protocol is used to protect data, a
2474 different randomly generated key is used to encrypt the data.
2475 This random key is itself encrypted using a key which is derived
2476 from SoC's non-volatile secret key and a 16 bit Key identifier.
2477 The resulting encrypted key along with encrypted data is called a
2478 blob. The non-volatile secure key is available for use only during

2557 command requires a suitable TPM on your board and the correct driver
2563 bool "Enable the 'tpm test' command"
2566 This provides a a series of tests to confirm that the TPMv1.x is
2567 working correctly. The tests cover initialisation, non-volatile RAM,
