| Description |
| ----------- |
| |
| The `bootflow` command is used to manage bootflows. It can scan bootdevs to |
| locate bootflows, list them and boot them. |
| |
| See :doc:`../../develop/bootstd` for more information. |
| |
| Note that `CONFIG_BOOTSTD_FULL` (which enables `CONFIG_CMD_BOOTFLOW_FULL) must |
| be enabled to obtain full functionality with this command. Otherwise, it only |
| supports `bootflow scan` which scans and boots the first available bootflow. |
| |
| bootflow scan |
| ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ |
| |
| Scans for available bootflows, optionally booting the first valid one it finds. |
| This operates in two modes: |
| |
| - If no bootdev is selected (see `bootdev select`) it scans bootflows one |
| by one, extracting all the bootdevs from each |
| - If a bootdev is selected, it just scans that one bootflow |
| |
| Flags are: |
| |
| -a |
| Collect all bootflows, even those that cannot be loaded. Normally if a file |
| is not where it is expected, then the bootflow fails and so is dropped |
| during the scan. With this option you can see why each bootflow would be |
| dropped. |
| |
| -b |
| Boot each valid bootflow as it is scanned. Typically only the first bootflow |
| matters, since by then the system boots in the OS and U-Boot is no-longer |
| running. `bootflow scan -b` is a quick way to boot the first available OS. |
| A valid bootflow is one that made it all the way to the `loaded` state. |
| Note that if `-m` is provided as well, booting is delayed until the user |
| selects a bootflow. |
| |
| -e |
| Used with -l to also show errors for each bootflow. The shows detailed error |
| information for each bootflow that failed to make it to the `loaded` state. |
| |
| -l |
| List bootflows while scanning. This is helpful when you want to see what |
| is happening during scanning. Use it with the `-b` flag to see which |
| bootdev and bootflows are being tried. |
| |
| -G |
| Skip global bootmeths when scanning. By default these are tried first, but |
| this flag disables them. |
| |
| -H |
| Don't use bootdev hunters. By default these are used before each boot |
| priority or label is tried, to see if more bootdevs can be discovered, but |
| this flag disables that process. |
| |
| -m |
| Show a menu of available bootflows for the user to select. When used with |
| -b it then boots the one that was selected, if any. |
| |
| The optional argument specifies a particular bootdev to scan. This can either be |
| the name of a bootdev or its sequence number (both shown with `bootdev list`). |
| Alternatively a convenience label can be used, like `mmc0`, which is the type of |
| device and an optional sequence number. Specifically, the label is the uclass of |
| the bootdev's parent followed by the sequence number of that parent. Sequence |
| numbers are typically set by aliases, so if you have 'mmc0' in your devicetree |
| alias section, then `mmc0` refers to the bootdev attached to that device. |
| |
| |
| bootflow list |
| ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ |
| |
| Lists the previously scanned bootflows. You must use `bootflow scan` before this |
| to see anything. |
| |
| If you scanned with -a and have bootflows with errors, -e can be used to show |
| those errors. |
| |
| The list looks something like this: |
| |
| === ====== ====== ======== ==== =============================== ================ |
| Seq Method State Uclass Part Name Filename |
| === ====== ====== ======== ==== =============================== ================ |
| 0 distro ready mmc 2 mmc\@7e202000.bootdev.part_2 /boot/extlinux/extlinux.conf |
| 1 pxe ready ethernet 0 smsc95xx_eth.bootdev.0 rpi.pxe/extlinux/extlinux.conf |
| === ====== ====== ======== ==== =============================== ================ |
| |
| The fields are as follows: |
| |
| Seq: |
| Sequence number in the scan, used to reference the bootflow later |
| |
| Method: |
| The boot method (bootmeth) used to find the bootflow. Several methods are |
| included in U-Boot. |
| |
| State: |
| Current state of the bootflow, indicating how far the bootdev got in |
| obtaining a valid one. See :ref:`BootflowStates` for a list of states. |
| |
| Uclass: |
| Name of the media device's Uclass. This indicates the type of the parent |
| device (e.g. MMC, Ethernet). |
| |
| Part: |
| Partition number being accesseed, numbered from 1. Normally a device will |
| have a partition table with a small number of partitions. For devices |
| without partition tables (e.g. network) this field is 0. |
| |
| Name: |
| Name of the bootflow. This is generated from the bootdev appended with |
| the partition information |
| |
| Filename: |
| Name of the bootflow file. This indicates where the file is on the |
| filesystem or network device. |
| |
| |
| bootflow select |
| ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ |
| |
| Use this to select a particular bootflow. You can select it by the sequence |
| number or name, as shown in `bootflow list`. |
| |
| Once a bootflow is selected, you can use `bootflow info` and `bootflow boot`. |
| |
| If no bootflow name or number is provided, then any existing bootflow is |
| unselected. |
| |
| |
| bootflow info |
| ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ |
| |
| This shows information on the current bootflow, with the format looking like |
| this: |
| |
| ========= =============================== |
| Name mmc\@7e202000.bootdev.part_2 |
| Device mmc\@7e202000.bootdev |
| Block dev mmc\@7e202000.blk |
| Type distro |
| Method: extlinux |
| State ready |
| Partition 2 |
| Subdir (none) |
| Filename /extlinux/extlinux.conf |
| Buffer 3db7ad48 |
| Size 232 (562 bytes) |
| FDT: <NULL> |
| Error 0 |
| ========= =============================== |
| |
| Most of the information is the same as `bootflow list` above. The new fields |
| are: |
| |
| Device |
| Name of the bootdev |
| |
| Block dev |
| Name of the block device, if any. Network devices don't have a block device. |
| |
| Subdir |
| Subdirectory used for retrieving files. For network bootdevs this is the |
| directory of the 'bootfile' parameter passed from DHCP. All file retrievals |
| when booting are relative to this. |
| |
| Buffer |
| Buffer containing the bootflow file. You can use the :doc:`md` to look at |
| it, or dump it with `bootflow info -d`. |
| |
| Size |
| Size of the bootflow file |
| |
| FDT: |
| Filename of the device tree, if supported. The EFI bootmeth uses this to |
| remember the filename to load. If `<NULL>` then there is none. |
| |
| Error |
| Error number returned from scanning for the bootflow. This is 0 if the |
| bootflow is in the 'loaded' state, or a negative error value on error. You |
| can look up Linux error codes to find the meaning of the number. |
| |
| Use the `-d` flag to dump out the contents of the bootfile file. |
| |
| The `-s` flag shows any x86 setup block, instead of the above. |
| |
| |
| bootflow read |
| ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ |
| |
| This reads any files related to the bootflow. Some bootflows with large files |
| avoid doing this when the bootflow is scanned, since it uses a lot of memory |
| and takes extra time. The files are then automatically read when `bootflow boot` |
| is used. |
| |
| This command reads these files immediately. Typically this fills in the bootflow |
| `buf` property, which can be used to examine the bootflow. |
| |
| Note that reading the files does not result in any extra parsing, nor loading of |
| images in the files. This is purely used to read in the data ready for |
| booting, or examination. |
| |
| |
| bootflow boot |
| ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ |
| |
| This boots the current bootflow, reading any required files first. |
| |
| |
| bootflow cmdline |
| ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ |
| |
| Some bootmeths can obtain the OS command line since it is stored with the OS. |
| In that case, you can use `bootflow cmdline` to adjust this. The command line |
| is assumed to be in the format used by Linux, i.e. a space-separated set of |
| parameters with optional values, e.g. "noinitrd console=/dev/tty0". |
| |
| To change or add a parameter, use:: |
| |
| bootflow cmdline set <param> <value> |
| |
| To clear a parameter value to empty you can use "" for the value, or use:: |
| |
| bootflow cmdline clear <param> |
| |
| To delete a parameter entirely, use:: |
| |
| bootflow cmdline delete <param> |
| |
| Automatic parameters are available in a very few cases. You can use these to |
| add parmeters where the value is known by U-Boot. For example:: |
| |
| bootflow cmdline auto earlycon |
| bootflow cmdline auto console |
| |
| can be used to set the early console (or console) to a suitable value so that |
| output appears on the serial port. This is only supported by the 16550 serial |
| driver so far. |
| |
| bootflow menu |
| ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ |
| |
| This shows a menu with available bootflows. The user can select a particular |
| bootflow, which then becomes the current one. |
| |
| The `-t` flag requests a text menu. Otherwise, if a display is available, a |
| graphical menu is shown. |
| |
| |

| Return value |
| ------------ |
| |
| On success `bootflow boot` normally boots into the Operating System and does not |
| return to U-Boot. If something about the U-Boot processing fails, then the |
| return value $? is 1. If the boot succeeds but for some reason the Operating |
| System returns, then $? is 0, indicating success. |
| |
| For `bootflow menu` the return value is $? is 0 (true) if an option was choses, |
| else 1. |
| |
| For other subcommands, the return value $? is always 0 (true). |
