To do autoboot with efi bootmgr, we need an additional preboot configuration. "setenv bootmenu_0 UEFI Boot Manager=bootefi bootmgr; setenv bootmenu_1 UEFI Maintenance Menu=eficonfig" I will update the document in the next version. Bootmenu is displayed as follows. *** U-Boot Boot Menu *** UEFI Boot Manager UEFI Maintenance Menu virtio 0:1 virtio 0:2 U-Boot console Thanks, Masahisa Kojima > + > +How to boot the system with newly added UEFI Boot Option > +'''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''' > + > +"eficonfig" command is responsible to configure the UEFI variables, > +not directly handle the system boot. > +The new Boot Option added by "eficonfig" is appended at the last entry > +of UEFI BootOrder variable, user may want to change the boot order > +through "Change Boot Order". > +If the bootmenu is enabled, CONFIG_BOOTMENU_DISABLE_UBOOT_CONSOLE is enabled, > +and "eficonfig" is configured as preboot command, the newly added Boot > Options > +are enumerated in the bootmenu when user exits from the eficonfig menu. > +User may select the entry in the bootmenu to boot the system, or follow > +the U-Boot configuration the system already has. > + > +See also > +-------- > +* :doc:`bootmenu<bootmenu>` provides a simple mechanism for creating menus > with different boot items > diff --git a/doc/usage/index.rst b/doc/usage/index.rst > index 28f9683a3e..09f2928970 100644 > --- a/doc/usage/index.rst > +++ b/doc/usage/index.rst > @@ -35,6 +35,7 @@ Shell commands > cmd/conitrace > cmd/dm > cmd/echo > + cmd/eficonfig > cmd/env > cmd/event > cmd/exception > -- > 2.17.1 >
