I2C

List available devices
i2c probe
Valid chip addresses: 00 57 6F

0x6F = DHCOM i.MX25 Core Module Real Time Clock
Read
i2c md <I2C address> <start address> <end address>
Example: i2c md 57 10 20
Description: Reads 16 Bytes from the address 0x10 to address 0x20.
Write

OS Boot

WinCE
bootwince <Image address> [debug]
Example: bootwince 200000
Description: The address 0x20_0000 specifies NAND Flash image address. The image is loaded from NAND flash to SDRAM. Next to that u-boot starts WinCE. The "debug" option make sure that the image wouldn't be started after uncompressing.
Note: The Image address could also be an SDRAM address. But it is necessary to copy the Image (via tftp or nand flash commands) to the SDRAM before calling "bootwince".
bootwince tftp
Note: The ENV variables "loadaddr" and "bootfile" needs to be set before calling the command. For *.gz image types the "loadaddr" should be set to 0x8290_0000 and for *.bin images the address should be 0x8100_0000.
Linux
bootm <Kernel address> [arg]
Note: When booting a Linux kernel,‘arg' can be the address of an initrd image.

Unzip

unzip <source address> <destination address>
Example: unzip 82900000 80100000
Note: The unzip command is supporting the gzip file format.

Bitmap

Information
bmp info <Bitmap address>
Image size    : 800 x 480
Bits per pixel: 8
Compression   : 0
Display
bmp display <Bitmap SDRAM address> [x y]

Memory

Display
md[.b, .w, .l] <address> [count]
Example: md.b 80100000 100
Write
mw[.b, .w, .l] <address> <value> [count]
Example: mw.b 80100000 aa 100
Description: Writes the value 0xaa to the next 0x100 bytes from the address 0x8010_0000.
