+Interactively booting from a specific device at the u-boot prompt
+=================================================================
+
+For interactively booting from a user-selected device at the u-boot command
+prompt, the environment provides predefined bootcmd_<target> variables for
+every target defined in boot_targets, which can be run be the user.
+
+If the target is a storage device, the format of the target is always
+<device type><device number>, e.g. mmc0. Specifying the device number is
+mandatory for storage devices, even if only support for a single instance
+of the storage device is actually implemented.
+
+For network targets (dhcp, pxe), only the device type gets specified;
+they do not have a device number.
+
+Examples:
+
+ - run bootcmd_usb0
+ boots from the first USB mass storage device
+
+ - run bootcmd_mmc1
+ boots from the second MMC device
+
+ - run bootcmd_pxe
+ boots by tftp using a pxelinux.cfg
+
+The list of possible targets consists of:
+
+- network targets
+ * dhcp
+ * pxe
+
+- storage targets (to which a device number must be appended)
+ * mmc
+ * sata
+ * scsi
+ * ide
+ * usb
+
+Other *boot* variables than the ones defined above are only for internal use
+of the boot environment and are not guaranteed to exist or work in the same
+way in future u-boot versions. In particular the <device type>_boot
+variables (e.g. mmc_boot, usb_boot) are a strictly internal implementation
+detail and must not be used as a public interface.

If your device supports banging arbitrary values on the MII bus (pretty much
every device does), you should add support for the mii command. Doing so is
fairly trivial and makes debugging mii issues a lot easier at runtime.
After you have called eth_register() in your driver's register function, add
-a call to miiphy_register() like so:
-#if defined(CONFIG_MII) || defined(CONFIG_CMD_MII)
- miiphy_register(dev->name, mii_read, mii_write);
-#endif
+a call to mdio_alloc() and mdio_register() like so:

+ free(priv);
+ free(dev);
+ return -ENOMEM;
+ }
+
+ bus->read = ape_mii_read;
+ bus->write = ape_mii_write;
+ mdio_register(bus);
And then define the mii_read and mii_write functions if you haven't already.
Their syntax is straightforward:
- int mii_read(char *devname, uchar addr, uchar reg, ushort *val);
- int mii_write(char *devname, uchar addr, uchar reg, ushort val);
+ int mii_read(struct mii_dev *bus, int addr, int devad, int reg);
+ int mii_write(struct mii_dev *bus, int addr, int devad, int reg,
+ u16 val);
The read function should read the register 'reg' from the phy at address 'addr'
-and store the result in the pointer 'val'. The implementation for the write
-function should logically follow.
+and return the result to its caller. The implementation for the write function
+should logically follow.
