U-Boot Setup

The sense of a special Setup part is to avoid expendable changes in the proper operating systems. The
Setup entries are valid for all supported operating systems (e.g. Linux

®

, Android

TM

and Windows

®

Em-

bedded Compact). For example if you switch from Linux

®

to Android

TM

or vice versa in the ideal case no

changes will be necessary. The Setup data records are stored in a non-volatile memory (EEPROM) and not in
an erasable script. A possible password input protects from unauthorized access.
The KONTRON Setup provides three configurable main menus:

S

display

S

devices

S

misc

The

display

menu allows to define one or more boot displays, the resolution of a LCD panel and backlight

parameters. The

devices

part involves some hardware device settings, e.g. audio controller enabled or

disabled. The

misc

menu contains special features, e.g. temperature control.

ATTENTION

Only the original KONTRON BSPs guarantee the realization of the U-Boot Setup features.

Setup Usage

After the execution of a sub-command (e.g. setup misc) the selection of a submenu requires only a numeric
value. Thereafter the real settings are visible. Now you can choose between an alphanumeric (default) or a
numeric input. The alphanumeric presentation illustrates intuitive the right choice. If you favor the
numeric input delete all chars with the key, type the number and then press the key.
With the key previous keyboard inputs are recallable for a quick repetition of often used
commands.
After the completion of all changes it is reasonable to control the settings with the summary command.
