Later we could write -some "hwconfig <enable|disable|list>" commands, ncurses -interface for Award BIOS-like interface, and frame-buffer -interface for AMI GUI[1] BIOS-like interface with mouse -support[2]. - -Current implementation details/limitations: - -1. Doesn't support options dependencies and mutual exclusion. - We can implement this by integrating apt-get[3] into Das - U-Boot. But I haven't bothered yet. - -2. Since we don't implement a hwconfig command, i.e. we're working - with the environment directly, there is no way to tell that - toggling a particular option will need a reboot to take - effect. So, for now it's advised to always reboot the - target after modifying the hwconfig variable. - -3. We support hwconfig options with arguments. For example, - - set hwconfig "dr_usb:mode=peripheral,phy_type=ulpi" - - This selects three hwconfig options: - 1. dr_usb - enable Dual-Role USB controller; - 2. dr_usb_mode:peripheral - USB in Function mode; - 3. dr_usb_phy_type:ulpi - USB should work with ULPI PHYs. - -The purpose of this simple implementation is to refine the -internal API and then we can continue improving the user -experience by adding more mature interfaces, like a hwconfig -command with bells and whistles.
