Add a command to read cedit settings from a devicetree file. Signed-off-by: Simon Glass <[email protected]>
2023-08-25expo: cedit: Support writing settings to a fileSimon Glass
Support writing settings from an expo into a file in FDT format. It consists of a single node with a two properties for each sceneitem, one with tag ID chosen by the user and another for its text value. Signed-off-by: Simon Glass <[email protected]>

2023-08-25expo: Add documentation for the configuration editorSimon Glass
This is mentioned in passing in the 'cedit' command. Its file format is described under `expo`. But it would be better if it had its own entry in the documentation. Add a new 'cedit' entry with a few details about this feature. Signed-off-by: Simon Glass <[email protected]>

2023-08-11bootstd: Add a command to read all files for a bootflowSimon Glass
Some bootflows (such as EFI and ChromiumOS) delay reading the kernel until it is needed to boot. This saves time when scanning and avoids needing to allocate memory for something that may never be used. To permit reading of these files, add a new 'bootflow read' command. Signed-off-by: Simon Glass <[email protected]>
2023-08-10bootstd: Allow display of the x86 setup informationSimon Glass
Provide an option to dump this information if available. Move the funciion prototype to the common x86 header. Allow the command line to be left out since 'bootflow info' show this itself and it is not in the correct place in memory until the kernel is actually booted. Fix a badly aligned heading while we are here. Signed-off-by: Simon Glass <[email protected]>

2023-08-08arm_ffa: introduce armffa commandAbdellatif El Khlifi
Provide armffa command showcasing the use of the U-Boot FF-A support armffa is a command showcasing how to invoke FF-A operations. This provides a guidance to the client developers on how to call the FF-A bus interfaces. The command also allows to gather secure partitions information and ping these partitions. The command is also helpful in testing the communication with secure partitions. For more details please refer to the command documentation [1]. A Sandbox test is provided for the armffa command.

2023-07-17qfw: Show the file address if availableSimon Glass
Some files have an associated address. Show this with the 'qfw list' command so that it is possible to dump the data. Note that the reference to 'md' is for the md.rst file, not a markdown file. Signed-off-by: Simon Glass <[email protected]> Reviewed-by: Bin Meng <[email protected]>
2023-07-17part: Allow setting the partition-table typeSimon Glass
Some devices have multiple partition types available on the same media. It is sometimes useful to see these to check that everything is working correctly. Provide a way to manually set the partition-table type, avoiding the auto-detection process. Signed-off-by: Simon Glass <[email protected]> Reviewed-by: Bin Meng <[email protected]>
2023-07-17acpi: Add a comment to set the acpi tablesSimon Glass

2023-07-17bootstd: Support automatically setting Linux parametersSimon Glass
Some Linux parameters can be set automatically by U-Boot, if it knows the device being used. For example, since U-Boot knows the serial console being used, it can add parameters for earlycon and console. Add support for this. Note that this is an experimental feature and we will see how useful it turns out to be. It is very handy for ChromeOS, since otherwise it is very difficult to manually determine the UART address or port number, particularly in a script. Provide an example of how this is used with ChromeOS. Signed-off-by: Simon Glass <[email protected]> Reviewed-by: Bin Meng <[email protected]>
2023-07-17bootstd: Add support for updating elements of the cmdlineSimon Glass
Add a bootflow command to update the command line more easily. This allows changing a particular parameter rather than editing a very long strings. It is also easier to handle with scripting. The new 'bootflow cmdline' command allows getting and setting single parameters. Fix up the example output while we are here, since there are a few new items.

2023-07-16bootstd: Allow storing the OS command line in the bootflowSimon Glass

We use the terms 'distro' to mean extlinux but they are not really the same. 'Distro' could refer to any method of booting a distribution, whereas extlinux is a particular method.
