2010-08-09various cmd_* files: remove the command name from the help messageFrans Meulenbroeks
removed the command name from the help message as it is already printed. for cmd_mmc also rewrote the message a little bit Signed-off-by: Frans Meulenbroeks <fransmeulenbroeks@gmail.com>

2010-07-04Make sure that argv[] argument pointers are not modified.Wolfgang Denk
The hush shell dynamically allocates (and re-allocates) memory for the argument strings in the "char *argv[]" argument vector passed to commands. Any code that modifies these pointers will cause serious corruption of the malloc data structures and crash U-Boot, so make sure the compiler can check that no such modifications are being done by changing the code into "char * const argv[]". This modification is the result of debugging a strange crash caused after adding a new command, which used the following argument processing code which has been working perfectly fine in all Unix systems since version 6 - but not so in U-Boot: int main (int argc, char **argv) { while (--argc > 0 && **++argv == '-') { /* ====> */ while (*++*argv) { switch (**argv) { case 'd': debug++; break; ... default: usage (); } } } ... } The line marked "====>" will corrupt the malloc data structures and usually cause U-Boot to crash when the next command gets executed by the shell. With the modification, the compiler will prevent this with an error: increment of read-only location '*argv' N.B.: The code above can be trivially rewritten like this: while (--argc > 0 && **++argv == '-') { char *arg = *argv; while (*++arg) { switch (*arg) { ...

2009-12-02Remove superfluous preprocessor tests from some cmd_*.c files.Robert P. J. Day
A small number of common/cmd_*.c files contain preprocessor tests that are apparently superfluous since those same tests are used in the Makefile to control the compilation of those files. Those tests are clearly redundant as long as they surround the entirety of the source in those files. Signed-off-by: Robert P. J. Day <rpjday@crashcourse.ca>
2009-06-12General help message cleanupWolfgang Denk
Many of the help messages were not really helpful; for example, many commands that take no arguments would not print a correct synopsis line, but "No additional help available." which is not exactly wrong, but not helpful either. Commit ``Make "usage" messages more helpful.'' changed this partially. But it also became clear that lots of "Usage" and "Help" messages (fields "usage" and "help" in struct cmd_tbl_s respective) were actually redundant. This patch cleans this up - for example: Before: => help dtt dtt - Digital Thermometer and Thermostat Usage: dtt - Read temperature from digital thermometer and thermostat. After: => help dtt dtt - Read temperature from Digital Thermometer and Thermostat Usage: dtt Signed-off-by: Wolfgang Denk <wd@denx.de>
2009-04-03mflash: Initial mflash supportunsik Kim
Mflash is fusion memory device mainly targeted consumer eletronic and mobile phone. Internally, it have nand flash and other hardware logics and supports some different operation (ATA, IO, XIP) modes. IO mode is custom mode for the host that doesn't have IDE interface. (Many mobile targeted SoC doesn't have IDE bus) This driver support mflash IO mode. Followings are brief descriptions about IO mode. 1. IO mode based on ATA protocol and uses some custom command. (read confirm, write confirm) 2. IO mode uses SRAM bus interface. Signed-off-by: unsik Kim <donari75@gmail.com>
