of the control device tree. You can access these using fdtdec_get_config_int(),
fdtdec_get_config_bool() and fdtdec_get_config_string().
+These options are designed to affect the operation of U-Boot at runtime.
+Runtime-configuration items can help avoid proliferation of different builds
+with only minor changes, e.g. enabling and disabling console output. Items
+here should be those that can usefully be set by the build system after U-Boot
+is built.
+
Available options are:
-silent-console
- If present and non-zero, the console is silenced by default on boot.
+bootcmd (string)
+ Allows overwriting of the boot command used by U-Boot on startup. If
+ present, U-Boot uses this command instead. Note that this feature can
+ work even if loading the environment is disabled, e.g. for security
+ reasons. See also bootsecure.
+
+bootdelay (int)
+ This allows selecting of the U-Boot bootdelay, to control whether U-Boot
+ waits on boot or for how long. This allows this option to be configured
+ by the build system or by a previous-stage binary. For example, if the
+ images is being packed for testing or a user holds down a button, it may
+ allow a delay, but disable it for production.
-no-keyboard
- Tells U-Boot not to expect an attached keyboard with a VGA console
+u-boot,boot-led (string)
+u-boot,error-led (string)
+ This is used to specify the label for an LED to indicate an error and
+ a successful boot, on supported hardware.
-u-boot,efi-partition-entries-offset
+bootsecure (int)
+ Indicates that U-Boot should use secure_boot_cmd() to run commands,
+ rather than the normal CLI. This can be used in production images, to
+ restrict the amount of parsing done or the options available, to cut
+ back on the available surface for security attacks.

+u-boot,efi-partition-entries-offset (int)

device) that should be skipped over before the partition entries.
