:'''Erase all ENV variables'''
:{| class="wikitable"

:Note: It is necessary to restart the system after "eraseenv", to restore the default ENV settings.
=== Update ===
:{| class="wikitable"
|''<code>update <type> [filename]</code>''
|}
:Type:
:auto = Start the automatic update with a DHupdate.ini file.
:wince = WinCE image update (default file names ''nk.gz'' or ''nk.bin'') + ENV update
:linux = Linux image update (default file name ''uImage'') + ENV update (default script file name ''uImage.env'')
:: '''Remark:'''The ENV update script must have the same filename as the linux-kernel with the ending ".env". It is possible to update the environment of u-boot without a kernel update by inserting the filename of the ENV script.
:rootfs = Create or replace the root-filesystem in the NAND-Flash (default file name fsroot.tar.gz). The rootfs update has to be the last item (or second to last item if you insert the reset command) in the DHupdate.ini file.
:: '''Remark:''' To run a ''"NAND-Flash root-filesystem update"'' you need a special linux-kernel which must have the filename ''"uImage.update"'' and must be available in the same diretory on your update-media as the DHupdate.ini file.
:flash = Complete flash image update
:bootloader = Bootloader update (default file name u-boot.bin)
:splash = Bootbitmap update (default file name splash.bmp)
:settings = Settings block update (default file name settings.bin)
:eeprom = Display-Settings block update (default file name eeprom.bin)
:reset = Execute a reset after a successfull update. A reset can only be the last item in a DHupdate.ini file.
:: '''Remark:''' Be careful with the reset command. You can easily build a endless update loop by mistake.

=== OS Boot ===
:'''WinCE'''
:{| class="wikitable"
|''<code>bootwince <Image address> [debug]</code>''
|}
:Example: <code>bootwince 200000</code>
: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".
:{| class="wikitable"
|''<code>bootwince tftp</code>''
|}
: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'''
:{| class="wikitable"
|''<code>bootm <Kernel address> [arg]</code>''
|}
:Note: When booting a Linux kernel,‘arg' can be the address of an initrd image.

Enter Bootloader Console

  1. Connect DHCOM UART1 (FF UART) via null modem cable to the RS232 Port of your PC
  2. Start terminal program (e.g. Tera Term) on the Host PC with the following settings:
    Baud rate: 115200
    Data: 8 bit
    Parity: none
    Stop bits: 1 bit
    Flow control: none
  3. Press "del" on the Host PC during Core Module system start to enter bootloader console
