| Description |
| ----------- |
| |
| The *cedit* command is used to load a configuration-editor description and allow |
| the user to interact with it. |
| |
| It makes use of the expo subsystem. |
| |
| The description is in the form of a devicetree file, as documented at |
| :ref:`expo_format`. |
| |
| See :doc:`../../develop/cedit` for information about the configuration editor. |
| |
| cedit load |
| ~~~~~~~~~~ |
| |
| Loads a configuration-editor description from a file. It creates a new cedit |
| structure ready for use. Initially no settings are read, so default values are |
| used for each object. |
| |
| cedit run |
| ~~~~~~~~~ |
| |
| Runs the default configuration-editor event loop. This is very simple, just |
| accepting character input and moving through the objects under user control. |
| The implementation is at `cedit_run()`. |
| |
| cedit write_fdt |
| ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ |
| |
| Writes the current user settings to a devicetree file. For each menu item the |
| selected ID and its text string are written. |
| |
| cedit read_fdt |
| ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ |
| |
| Reads the user settings from a devicetree file and updates the cedit with those |
| settings. |
| |
| cedit read_env |
| ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ |
| |
| Reads the settings from the environment variables. For each menu item `<name>`, |
| cedit looks for a variable called `c.<name>` with the ID of the selected menu |
| item. |
| |
| The `-v` flag enables verbose mode, where each variable is printed after it is |
| read. |
| |
| cedit write_env |
| ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ |
| |
| Writes the settings to environment variables. For each menu item the selected |
| ID and its text string are written, similar to: |
| |
| setenv c.<name> <selected_id> |
| setenv c.<name>-str <selected_id's text string> |
| |
| The `-v` flag enables verbose mode, where each variable is printed before it is |
| set. |
| |
| cedit write_cmos |
| ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ |
| |
| Writes the settings to locations in the CMOS RAM. The locations used are |
| specified by the schema. See `expo_format_`. |
| |
| The `-v` flag enables verbose mode, which shows which CMOS locations were |
| updated. |
| |
| Normally the first RTC device is used to hold the data. You can specify a |
| different device by name using the `dev` parameter. |
| |
| .. _cedit_cb_load: |
| |
| cedit cb_load |
| ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ |
| |
| This is supported only on x86 devices booted from coreboot. It creates a new |
| configuration editor which can be used to edit CMOS settings. |
| |
| Example |
| ------- |
| |
| :: |
| |
| => cedit load hostfs - fred.dtb |
| => cedit run |
| => cedit write_fdt hostfs - settings.dtb |
| |
| That results in:: |
| |
| / { |
| cedit-values { |
| cpu-speed = <0x00000006>; |
| cpu-speed-value = <0x00000003>; |
| cpu-speed-str = "2 GHz"; |
| power-loss = <0x0000000a>; |
| power-loss-value = <0x00000000>; |
| power-loss-str = "Always Off"; |
| }; |
| } |
| |
| => cedit read_fdt hostfs - settings.dtb |
| |
| This shows settings being stored in the environment:: |
| |
| => cedit write_env -v |
| c.cpu-speed=11 |
| c.cpu-speed-str=2.5 GHz |
| c.cpu-speed-value=3 |
| c.power-loss=14 |
| c.power-loss-str=Always Off |
| c.power-loss-value=0 |
| c.machine-name=my-machine |
| c.cpu-speed=11 |
| c.power-loss=14 |
| c.machine-name=my-machine |
| => print |
| ... |
| c.cpu-speed=6 |
| c.cpu-speed-str=2 GHz |
| c.power-loss=10 |
| c.power-loss-str=Always Off |
| c.machine-name=my-machine |
| ... |
| |
| => cedit read_env -v |
| c.cpu-speed=7 |
| c.power-loss=12 |
| |
| This shows writing to CMOS RAM. Notice that the bytes at 80 and 84 change:: |
| |
| => rtc read 80 8 |
| 00000080: 00 00 00 00 00 2f 2a 08 ...../*. |
| => cedit write_cmos -v |
| Write 2 bytes from offset 80 to 84 |
| => rtc read 80 8 |
| 00000080: 01 00 00 00 08 2f 2a 08 ...../*. |
| => cedit read_cmos -v |
| Read 2 bytes from offset 80 to 84 |
| |
| Here is an example with the device specified:: |
| |
| => cedit write_cmos rtc@43 |
| => |
| |
| This example shows editing coreboot CMOS-RAM settings. A script could be used |
| to automate this:: |

| Check that the CMOS RAM checksum is correct, then create a configuration editor |
| and load the settings from CMOS RAM:: |
| |
| => cbcmos check |
| => cedit cb |
| => cedit read_cmos |
| |
| Now run the cedit. In this case the user selected 'save' so `cedit run` returns |
| success:: |
| |
| => if cedit run; then cedit write_cmos -v; fi |
| Write 2 bytes from offset 30 to 38 |
| => echo $? |
| 0 |
| |
| Update the checksum in CMOS RAM:: |
| |
| => cbcmos check |
| Checksum 6100 error: calculated 7100 |
| => cbcmos update |
| Checksum 7100 written |
| => cbcmos check |
