apps/nshlib ^^^^^^^^^^^ This directory contains the NuttShell (NSH) library. This library can be linked with other logic to provide a simple shell application for NuttX. - Console/NSH Front End - Command Overview - Conditional Command Execution - Looping - Built-In Variables - Current Working Directory Environment Variables - NSH Start-Up Script - Simple Commands - Built-In Applications - NSH Configuration Settings Command Dependencies on Configuration Settings Built-in Application Configuration Settings NSH-Specific Configuration Settings - Common Problems Console/NSH Front End ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Using settings in the configuration file, NSH may be configured to use either the serial stdin/out or a telnet connection as the console or BOTH. When NSH is started, you will see the following welcome on either console: NuttShell (NSH) nsh> 'nsh>' is the NSH prompt and indicates that you may enter a command from the console. Command Overview ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ This directory contains the NuttShell (NSH). This is a simple shell-like application. At present, NSH supports the following commands forms: Simple command: Command with re-directed output: > >> Background command: & Re-directed background command: > & >> & Where: is any one of the simple commands listed later. is the full or relative path to any writeable object in the file system name space (file or character driver). Such objects will be referred to simply as files throughout this README. NSH executes at the mid-priority (128). Backgrounded commands can be made to execute at higher or lower priorities using nice: [nice [-d >]] [> |>> ] [&] Where is any value between -20 and 19 where lower (more negative values) correspond to higher priorities. The default niceness is 10. Multiple commands per line. NSH will accept multiple commands per command line with each command separated with the semi-colon character (;). If CONFIG_NSH_CMDPARMS is selected, then the output from commands, from file applications, and from NSH built-in commands can be used as arguments to other commands. The entity to be executed is identified by enclosing the command line in back quotes. For example, set FOO `myprogram $BAR` Will execute the program named myprogram passing it the value of the environment variable BAR. The value of the environment variable FOO is then set output of myprogram on stdout. Because this feature commits significant resources, it is disabled by default. If CONFIG_NSH_ARGCAT is selected, the support concatenation of strings with environment variables or command output. For example: set FOO XYZ set BAR 123 set FOOBAR ABC_${FOO}_${BAR} would set the environment variable FOO to XYZ, BAR to 123 and FOOBAR to ABC_XYZ_123. If NSH_ARGCAT is not selected, then a slightly small FLASH footprint results but then also only simple environment variables like $FOO can be used on the command line. CONFIG_NSH_QUOTE enables back-slash quoting of certain characters within the command. This option is useful for the case where an NSH script is used to dynamically generate a new NSH script. In that case, commands must be treated as simple text strings without interpretation of any special characters. Special characters such as $, `, ", and others must be retained intact as part of the test string. This option is currently only available is CONFIG_NSH_ARGCAT is also selected. Conditional Command Execution ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ An if-then[-else]-fi construct is also supported in order to support conditional execution of commands. This works from the command line but is primarily intended for use within NSH scripts (see the sh command). The syntax is as follows: if [!] then [sequence of ] else [sequence of ] fi Looping ^^^^^^^ while-do-done and until-do-done looping constructs are also supported. These works from the command line but are primarily intended for use within NSH scripts (see the sh command). The syntax is as follows: while ; do ; done Execute as long as has an exit status of zero. until ; do ; done Execute as long as has a non-zero exit status. A break command is also supported. The break command is only meaningful within the body of the a while or until loop, between the do and done tokens. If the break command is executed within the body of a loop, the loop will immediately terminate and execution will continue with the next command immediately following the done token. Built-In Variables ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ $? - The result of the last simple command execution Current Working Directory ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ All path arguments to commands may be either an absolute path or a path relative to the current working directory. The current working directory is set using the 'cd' command and can be queried either by using the 'pwd' command or by using the 'echo $PWD' command. Environment Variables: ---------------------- PWD - The current working directory OLDPWD - The previous working directory NSH Start-Up Script ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ NSH supports options to provide a start up script for NSH. In general this capability is enabled with CONFIG_NSH_ROMFSETC, but has several other related configuration options as described in the final section of this README. This capability also depends on: - CONFIG_DISABLE_MOUNTPOINT not set - CONFIG_NFILE_DESCRIPTORS > 4 - CONFIG_FS_ROMFS Default Start-Up Behavior ------------------------- The implementation that is provided is intended to provide great flexibility for the use of Start-Up files. This paragraph will discuss the general behavior when all of the configuration options are set to the default values. In this default case, enabling CONFIG_NSH_ROMFSETC will cause NSH to behave as follows at NSH startup time: - NSH will create a read-only RAM disk (a ROM disk), containing a tiny ROMFS file system containing the following: |--init.d/ `-- rcS Where rcS is the NSH start-up script - NSH will then mount the ROMFS file system at /etc, resulting in: |--dev/ | `-- ram0 `--etc/ `--init.d/ `-- rcS - By default, the contents of rcS script are: # Create a RAMDISK and mount it at XXXRDMOUNTPOINTXXX mkrd -m 1 -s 512 1024 mkfatfs /dev/ram1 mount -t vfat /dev/ram1 /tmp - NSH will execute the script at /etc/init.d/rcS at start-up (before the first NSH prompt. After execution of the script, the root FS will look like: |--dev/ | |-- ram0 | `-- ram1 |--etc/ | `--init.d/ | `-- rcS `--tmp/ Modifying the ROMFS Image ------------------------- The contents of the /etc directory are retained in the file apps/nshlib/nsh_romfsimg.h (OR, if CONFIG_NSH_ARCHROMFS is defined, include/arch/board/rcS.template). In order to modify the start-up behavior, there are three things to study: 1. Configuration Options. The additional CONFIG_NSH_ROMFSETC configuration options discussed in the final section of this README. 2. tools/mkromfsimg.sh Script. The script tools/mkromfsimg.sh creates nsh_romfsimg.h. It is not automatically executed. If you want to change the configuration settings associated with creating and mounting the /tmp directory, then it will be necessary to re-generate this header file using the mkromfsimg.sh script. The behavior of this script depends upon three things: - The configuration settings of the installed NuttX configuration. - The genromfs tool (available from http://romfs.sourceforge.net). - The file apps/nshlib/rcS.template (OR, if CONFIG_NSH_ARCHROMFS is defined, include/arch/board/rcs.template) 3. rcS.template. The file apps/nshlib/rcS.template contains the general form of the rcS file; configured values are plugged into this template file to produce the final rcS file. NOTE: apps/nshlib/rcS.template generates the standard, default nsh_romfsimg.h file. If CONFIG_NSH_ARCHROMFS is defined in the NuttX configuration file, then a custom, board-specific nsh_romfsimg.h file residing in boards////include will be used. NOTE when the OS is configured, include/arch/board will be linked to boards////include. All of the startup-behavior is contained in rcS.template. The role of mkromfsimg.sh is to (1) apply the specific configuration settings to rcS.template to create the final rcS, and (2) to generate the header file nsh_romfsimg.h containing the ROMFS file system image. Simple Commands ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ o [ ] o test These are two alternative forms of the same command. They support evaluation of a boolean expression which sets $?. This command is used most frequently as the conditional command following the 'if' in the if-then[-else]-fi construct. Expression Syntax: ------------------ expression = simple-expression | !expression | expression -o expression | expression -a expression simple-expression = unary-expression | binary-expression unary-expression = string-unary | file-unary string-unary = -n string | -z string file-unary = -b file | -c file | -d file | -e file | -f file | -r file | -s file | -w file binary-expression = string-binary | numeric-binary string-binary = string = string | string == string | string != string numeric-binary = integer -eq integer | integer -ge integer | integer -gt integer | integer -le integer | integer -lt integer | integer -ne integer o addroute [] addroute default This command adds an entry in the routing table. The new entry will map the IP address of a router on a local network() to an external network characterized by the IP address and a network mask The netmask may also be expressed using IPv4 CIDR or IPv6 slash notation. In that case, the netmask need not be provided. Example: nsh> addroute 11.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 10.0.0.2 which is equivalent to nsh> addroute 11.0.0.0/24 10.0.0.2 The second form of the addroute command can be used to set the default gateway. o arp [-t|-a |-d |-s ] Access the OS ARP table. -a Will show the hardware address that the IP address is mapped to. -d Will delete the mapping for the IP address from the ARP table. -s Will set (or replace) the mapping of the IP address to the hardware address . -t Will dump the entire content of the ARP table. This option is only available if CONFIG_NETLINK_ROUTE is enabled. Example: nsh> arp -a 10.0.0.1 nsh: arp: no such ARP entry: 10.0.0.1 nsh> arp -s 10.0.0.1 00:13:3b:12:73:e6 nsh> arp -a 10.0.0.1 HWAddr: 00:13:3b:12:73:e6 nsh> arp -d 10.0.0.1 nsh> arp -a 10.0.0.1 nsh: arp: no such ARP entry: 10.0.0.1 o base64dec [-w] [-f] o base64dec [-w] [-f] o basename [] Extract the final string from a by removing the preceding path segments and (optionally) removing any trailing . o break The break command is only meaningful within the body of the a while or until loop, between the do and done tokens. Outside of a loop, break command does nothing. If the break command is executed within the body of a loop, the loop will immediately terminate and execution will continue with the next command immediately following the done token. o cat [ [ ...]] This command copies and concatenates all of the files at to the console (or to another file if the output is redirected). o cd [|-|~|..] Changes the current working directory (PWD). Also sets the previous working directory environment variable (OLDPWD). FORMS: ------ 'cd ' sets the current working directory to . 'cd -' sets the current working directory to the previous working directory ($OLDPWD). Equivalent to 'cd $OLDPWD'. 'cd' or 'cd ~' set the current working directory to the 'home' directory. The 'home' directory can be configured by setting CONFIG_LIB_HOMEDIR in the configuration file. The default 'home' directory is '/'. 'cd ..' sets the current working directory to the parent directory. o cmp Compare of the contents of the file at with the contents of the file at . Returns an indication only if the files differ. o cp

Copy of the contents of the file at to the location in the file system indicated by o date [-s "MMM DD HH:MM:SS YYYY"] Show or set the current date and time. Only one format is used both on display and when setting the date/time: MMM DD HH:MM:SS YYYY. For example, data -s "Sep 1 11:30:00 2011" 24-hour time format is assumed. o dd if= of= [bs=] [count=] [skip=] Copy blocks from to . or may be the path to a standard file, a character device, or a block device. Examples: 1. Read from character device, write to regular file. This will create a new file of the specified size filled with zero. nsh> dd if=/dev/zero of=/tmp/zeros bs=64 count=16 nsh> ls -l /tmp /tmp: -rw-rw-rw- 1024 ZEROS 2. Read from character device, write to block device. This will fill the entire block device with zeros. nsh> ls -l /dev /dev: brw-rw-rw- 0 ram0 crw-rw-rw- 0 zero nsh> dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/ram0 3. Read from a block devic, write to a character device. This will read the entire block device and dump the contents in the bit bucket. nsh> ls -l /dev /dev: crw-rw-rw- 0 null brw-rw-rw- 0 ram0 nsh> dd if=/dev/ram0 of=/dev/null o delroute [] This command removes an entry from the routing table. The entry removed will be the first entry in the routing table that matches the external network characterized by the IP address and the network mask The netmask may also be expressed using IPv4 CIDR or IPv6 slash notation. In that case, the netmask need not be provided. Example: nsh> delroute 11.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 which is equivalent to nsh> delroute 11.0.0.0/24 o df Show the state of each mounted volume. Example: nsh> mount /etc type romfs /tmp type vfat nsh> df Block Number Size Blocks Used Available Mounted on 64 6 6 0 /etc 512 985 2 983 /tmp nsh> o dirname Extract the path string leading up to the full by removing the final directory or file name. o dmesg This command can be used to dump (and clear) the content of any buffered syslog output messages. This command is only available if CONFIG_RAMLOG_SYSLOG is enabled. In that case, syslog output will be collected in an in-memory, circular buffer. Entering the 'dmesg' command will dump the content of that in-memory, circular buffer to the NSH console output. 'dmesg' has the side effectof clearing the buffered data so that entering 'dmesg' again will show only newly buffered data. o echo [-n] [ [...]] Copy the sequence of strings and expanded environment variables to console out (or to a file if the output is re-directed). The -n option will suppress the trailing newline character. o env Show the current name-value pairs in the environment. Example: nsh> env PATH=/bin nsh> set foo bar nsh> env PATH=/bin foo=bar nsh> unset PATH nsh> env foo=bar nsh> NOTE: NSH variables are *not* shown by the env command. o exec Execute the user logic at address . NSH will pause until the execution unless the user logic is executed in background via 'exec &' o exit Exit NSH. Only useful if you have started some other tasks (perhaps using the 'exec' command') and you would like to have NSH out of the way. o export [] The 'export' command sets an environment variable, or promotes an NSH variable to an environment variable. As examples: 1. Using 'export' to promote an NSH variable to an environment variable. nsh> env PATH=/bin nsh> set foo bar nsh> env PATH=/bin nsh> export foo nsh> env PATH=/bin foo=bar A group-wide environment variable is created with the same value as the local NSH variable; the local NSH variable is removed. NOTE: This behavior differs from the Bash shell. Bash will retain the local Bash variable which will shadow the environment variable of the same name and same value. 2. Using 'export' to set an environment variable nsh> export dog poop nsh> env PATH=/bin foo=bar dog=poop The export command is not supported by NSH unless both CONFIG_NSH_VARS=y and CONFIG_DISABLE_ENVIRON is not set. o free Show the current state of the memory allocator. For example, nsh> free free total used free largest Mem: 4194288 1591552 2602736 2601584 Where: total - This is the total size of memory allocated for use by malloc in bytes. used - This is the total size of memory occupied by chunks handed out by malloc. free - This is the total size of memory occupied by free (not in use) chunks. largest - Size of the largest free (not in use) chunk o get [-b|-n] [-f ] -h

Use TFTP to copy the file at from the host whose IP address is identified by . Other options: -f The file will be saved relative to the current working directory unless is provided. -b|-n Selects either binary ("octet") or test ("netascii") transfer mode. Default: text. o help [-v] [] Presents summary information about NSH commands to console. Options: -v Show verbose output will full command usage Show full command usage only for this command o hexdump Dump data in hexadecimal format from a file or character device. o ifconfig [nic_name [|dhcp]] [dr|gw|gateway ] [netmask ] [dns ] [hw ] Show the current configuration of the network, for example: nsh> ifconfig eth0 HWaddr 00:18:11:80:10:06 IPaddr:10.0.0.2 DRaddr:10.0.0.1 Mask:255.255.255.0 if networking statistics are enabled (CONFIG_NET_STATISTICS), then this command will also show the detailed state of transfers by protocol. NOTE: This commands depends upon having the procfs file system configured into the system. The procfs file system must also have been mounted with a command like: nsh> mount -t procfs /proc o ifdown Take down the interface identified by the name . Example: ifdown eth0 o ifup Bring up down the interface identified by the name . Example: ifup eth0 o insmod

Install the loadable OS module at as module Example: nsh> ls -l /mnt/romfs /mnt/romfs: dr-xr-xr-x 0 . -r-xr-xr-x 9153 chardev nsh> ls -l /dev /dev: crw-rw-rw- 0 console crw-rw-rw- 0 null brw-rw-rw- 0 ram0 crw-rw-rw- 0 ttyS0 nsh> insmod /mnt/romfs/chardev mydriver nsh> ls -l /dev /dev: crw-rw-rw- 0 chardev crw-rw-rw- 0 console crw-rw-rw- 0 null brw-rw-rw- 0 ram0 crw-rw-rw- 0 ttyS0 nsh> lsmod NAME INIT UNINIT ARG TEXT SIZE DATA SIZE mydriver 20404659 20404625 0 20404580 552 204047a8 0 o irqinfo Show the current count of interrupts taken on all attached interrupts. Example: nsh> irqinfo IRQ HANDLER ARGUMENT COUNT RATE 3 00001b3d 00000000 156 19.122 15 0000800d 00000000 817 100.000 30 00000fd5 20000018 20 2.490 o kill - Send the to the task identified by . o losetup [-d ] | [[-o ] [-r]

] Setup or teardown the loop device: 1. Teardown the setup for the loop device at : losetup d 2. Setup the loop device at to access the file at as a block device: losetup [-o ] [-r]

Example: nsh> dd if=/dev/zero of=/tmp/image bs=512 count=512 nsh> ls -l /tmp /tmp: -rw-rw-rw- 262144 IMAGE nsh> losetup /dev/loop0 /tmp/image nsh> ls -l /dev /dev: brw-rw-rw- 0 loop0 nsh> mkfatfs /dev/loop0 nsh> mount -t vfat /dev/loop0 /mnt/example nsh> ls -l /mnt ls -l /mnt /mnt: drw-rw-rw- 0 example/ nsh> echo "This is a test" >/mnt/example/atest.txt nsh> ls -l /mnt/example /mnt/example: -rw-rw-rw- 16 ATEST.TXT nsh> cat /mnt/example/atest.txt This is a test nsh> o ln [-s] The link command will create a new symbolic link at for the existing file or directory, . This implementation is simplied for use with NuttX in these ways: - Links may be created only within the NuttX top-level, pseudo file system. No file system currently supported by NuttX provides symbolic links. - For the same reason, only soft links are implemented. - File privileges are ignored. - c_time is not updated. o ls [-lRs] Show the contents of the directory at . NOTE: must refer to a directory and no other file system object. Options: -------- -R Show the constents of specified directory and all of its sub-directories. -s Show the size of the files along with the filenames in the listing -l Show size and mode information along with the filenames in the listing. o lsmod Show information about the currently installed OS modules. This information includes: - The module name assigned to the module when it was installed (NAME, string). - The address of the module initialization function (INIT, hexadecimal). - The address of the module un-initialization function (UNINIT, hexadecimal). - An argument that will be passed to the module un-initialization function (ARG, hexadecimal). - The start of the .text memory region (TEXT, hexadecimal). - The size of the .text memory region size (SIZE, decimal). - The start of the .bss/.data memory region (DATA, hexadecimal). - The size of the .bss/.data memory region size (SIZE, decimal). Example: nsh> lsmod NAME INIT UNINIT ARG TEXT SIZE DATA SIZE mydriver 20404659 20404625 0 20404580 552 204047a8 0 o md5 [-f] o mb [=][ ] o mh [=][ ] o mw [=][ ] Access memory using byte size access (mb), 16-bit accesses (mh), or 32-bit access (mw). In each case, . Specifies the address to be accessed. The current value at that address will always be read and displayed. =. Read the value, then write to the location. . Perform the mb, mh, or mw operation on a total of bytes, increment the appropriately after each access Example nsh> mh 0 16 0 = 0x0c1e 2 = 0x0100 4 = 0x0c1e 6 = 0x0110 8 = 0x0c1e a = 0x0120 c = 0x0c1e e = 0x0130 10 = 0x0c1e 12 = 0x0140 14 = 0x0c1e nsh> o mkdir Create the directory at . All components of of except the final directory name must exist on a mounted file system; the final directory must not. Recall that NuttX uses a pseudo file system for its root file system. The mkdir command can only be used to create directories in volumes set up with the mount command; it cannot be used to create directories in the pseudo file system. Example: ^^^^^^^^ nsh> mkdir /mnt/fs/tmp nsh> ls -l /mnt/fs /mnt/fs: drw-rw-rw- 0 TESTDIR/ drw-rw-rw- 0 TMP/ nsh> o mkfatfs [-F ] [-r ] Format a fat file system on the block device specified by path. The FAT size may be provided as an option. Without the option, mkfatfs will select either the FAT12 or FAT16 format. For historical reasons, if you want the FAT32 format, it must be explicitly specified on the command line. The -r option may be specified to select the the number of entries in the root directory. Typical values for small volumes would be 112 or 224; 512 should be used for large volumes, such as hard disks or very large SD cards. The default is 512 entries in all cases. The reported number of root directory entries used with FAT32 is zero because the FAT32 root directory is a cluster chain. NSH provides this command to access the mkfatfs() NuttX API. This block device must reside in the NuttX pseudo file system and must have been created by some call to register_blockdriver() (see include/nuttx/fs/fs.h). o mkfifo Creates a FIFO character device anywhere in the pseudo file system, creating whatever pseudo directories that may be needed to complete the full path. By convention, however, device drivers are place in the standard /dev directory. After it is created, the FIFO device may be used as any other device driver. NSH provides this command to access the mkfifo() NuttX API. Example: ^^^^^^^^ nsh> ls -l /dev /dev: crw-rw-rw- 0 console crw-rw-rw- 0 null brw-rw-rw- 0 ram0 nsh> mkfifo /dev/fifo nsh> ls -l /dev ls -l /dev /dev: crw-rw-rw- 0 console crw-rw-rw- 0 fifo crw-rw-rw- 0 null brw-rw-rw- 0 ram0 nsh> o mkrd [-m ] [-s ] Create a ramdisk consisting of , each of size (or 512 bytes if is not specified). The ramdisk will be registered as /dev/ram. If is not specified, mkrd will attempt to register the ramdisk as /dev/ram0. Example: ^^^^^^^^ nsh> ls /dev /dev: console null ttyS0 ttyS1 nsh> mkrd 1024 nsh> ls /dev /dev: console null ram0 ttyS0 ttyS1 nsh> Once the ramdisk has been created, it may be formatted using the mkfatfs command and mounted using the mount command. Example: ^^^^^^^^ nsh> mkrd 1024 nsh> mkfatfs /dev/ram0 nsh> mount -t vfat /dev/ram0 /tmp nsh> ls /tmp /tmp: nsh> o mount [-t [-o ]

] The mount command performs one of two different operations. If no parameters are provided on the command line after the mount command, then the 'mount' command will enumerate all of the current mountpoints on the console. If the mount parameters are provied on the command after the 'mount' command, then the 'mount' command will mount a file system in the NuttX pseudo-file system. 'mount' performs a three way association, binding: File system. The '-t ' option identifies the type of file system that has been formatted on the . As of this writing, vfat is the only supported value for Block Device. The argument is the full or relative path to a block driver inode in the pseudo file system. By convention, this is a name under the /dev sub-directory. This must have been previously formatted with the same file system type as specified by Mount Point. The mount point is the location in the pseudo file system where the mounted volume will appear. This mount point can only reside in the NuttX pseudo file system. By convention, this mount point is a subdirectory under /mnt. The mount command will create whatever pseudo directories that may be needed to complete the full path but the full path must not already exist. After the volume has been mounted in the NuttX pseudo file system, it may be access in the same way as other objects in the file system. Examples: ^^^^^^^^^ nsh> ls -l /dev /dev: crw-rw-rw- 0 console crw-rw-rw- 0 null brw-rw-rw- 0 ram0 nsh> ls /mnt nsh: ls: no such directory: /mnt nsh> mount -t vfat /dev/ram0 /mnt/fs nsh> ls -l /mnt/fs/testdir /mnt/fs/testdir: -rw-rw-rw- 15 TESTFILE.TXT nsh> echo "This is a test" >/mnt/fs/testdir/example.txt nsh> ls -l /mnt/fs/testdir /mnt/fs/testdir: -rw-rw-rw- 15 TESTFILE.TXT -rw-rw-rw- 16 EXAMPLE.TXT nsh> cat /mnt/fs/testdir/example.txt This is a test nsh> nsh> mount /etc type romfs /tmp type vfat /mnt/fs type vfat o mv

Rename the file object at to . Both paths must reside in the same mounted file system. o nfsmount

Mount the remote NFS server directory at on the target machine. is the IP address of the remote server. o nslookup Lookup and print the IP address associated with o passwd Set the password for the existing user to o pmconfig [stay|relax] [normal|idle|standby|sleep] Control power management subsystem. o poweroff [] Shutdown and power off the system. This command depends on board- specific hardware support to power down the system. The optional, decimal numeric argument may be included to provide power off mode to board-specific power off logic. NOTE: Supporting both the poweroff and shutdown commands is redundant. o ps Show the currently active threads and tasks. For example, nsh> ps PID PRI POLICY TYPE NPX STATE EVENT SIGMASK COMMAND 0 0 FIFO Kthread --- Ready 00000000 Idle Task 1 128 RR Task --- Running 00000000 init 2 128 FIFO Task --- Waiting Semaphore 00000000 nsh_telnetmain() 3 100 RR pthread --- Waiting Semaphore 00000000 (21) nsh> NOTE: This commands depends upon having the procfs file system configured into the system. The procfs file system must also have been mounted with a command like: nsh> mount -t procfs /proc o put [-b|-n] [-f ] -h

Copy the file at to the host whose IP address is identified by . Other options: -f The file will be saved with the same name on the host unless unless is provided. -b|-n Selects either binary ("octet") or test ("netascii") transfer mode. Default: text. o pwd Show the current working directory. nsh> cd /dev nsh> pwd /dev nsh> Same as 'echo $PWD' nsh> echo $PWD /dev nsh> o readlink Show target of a soft link. o reboot [] Reset and reboot the system immediately. This command depends on hardware support to reset the system. The optional, decimal numeric argument may be included to provide reboot mode to board-specific reboot logic. NOTE: Supporting both the reboot and shutdown commands is redundant. o rm Remove the specified name from the mounted file system. Recall that NuttX uses a pseudo file system for its root file system. The rm command can only be used to remove (unlink) files in volumes set up with the mount command; it cannot be used to remove names from the pseudo file system. Example: ^^^^^^^^ nsh> ls /mnt/fs/testdir /mnt/fs/testdir: TESTFILE.TXT EXAMPLE.TXT nsh> rm /mnt/fs/testdir/example.txt nsh> ls /mnt/fs/testdir /mnt/fs/testdir: TESTFILE.TXT nsh> o rmdir Remove the specified directory from the mounted file system. Recall that NuttX uses a pseudo file system for its root file system. The rmdir command can only be used to remove directories from volumes set up with the mount command; it cannot be used to remove directories from the pseudo file system. Example: ^^^^^^^^ nsh> mkdir /mnt/fs/tmp nsh> ls -l /mnt/fs /mnt/fs: drw-rw-rw- 0 TESTDIR/ drw-rw-rw- 0 TMP/ nsh> rmdir /mnt/fs/tmp nsh> ls -l /mnt/fs ls -l /mnt/fs /mnt/fs: drw-rw-rw- 0 TESTDIR/ nsh> o rmmod Remove the loadable OS module with the . NOTE: An OS module can only be removed if it is not busy. Example: nsh> lsmod NAME INIT UNINIT ARG TEXT SIZE DATA SIZE mydriver 20404659 20404625 0 20404580 552 204047a8 0 nsh> rmmod mydriver nsh> lsmod NAME INIT UNINIT ARG TEXT SIZE DATA SIZE nsh> o route ipv4|ipv6 Show the contents of routing table for IPv4 or IPv6. If only IPv4 or IPv6 is enabled, then the argument is optional but, if provided, must match the enabled internet protocol version. o rptun start|stop Start or stop the OpenAMP RPC tunnel device at . o set [{+|-}{e|x|xe|ex}] [ ] Set the variable to the string and or set NSH parser control options. For example, a variable may be set like this: nsh> echo $foobar nsh> set foobar foovalue nsh> echo $foobar foovalue nsh> If CONFIG_NSH_VARS is selected, the effect of this 'set' command is to set the local NSH variable. Otherwise, the group-wide environment variable will be set. If the local NSH variable has already been 'promoted' to an environment variable, then the 'set' command will set the value of the environment variable rather than the local NSH variable. NOTE: The Bash shell does not work this way. Bash would set the value of both the local Bash variable and of the environment variable of the same name to the same value. If CONFIG_NSH_VARS is selected and no arguments are provided, then the 'set' command will list all list all NSH variables. nsh> set foolbar=foovalue Set the 'exit on error control' and/or 'print a trace' of commands when parsing scripts in NSH. The settinngs are in effect from the point of exection, until they are changed again, or in the case of the init script, the settings are returned to the default settings when it exits. Included child scripts will run with the parents settings and changes made in the child script will effect the parent on return. Use 'set -e' to enable and 'set +e' to disable (ignore) the exit condition on commands. The default is -e. Errors cause script to exit. Use 'set -x' to enable and 'set +x' to disable (silence) printing a trace of the script commands as they are ececuted. The default is +x. No printing of a trace of script commands as they are executed. Example 1 - no exit on command not found set +e notacommand Example 2 - will exit on command not found set -e notacommand Example 3 - will exit on command not found, and print a trace of the script commmands set -ex Example 4 - will exit on command not found, and print a trace of the script commmands and set foobar to foovalue. set -ex foobar foovalue nsh> echo $foobar foovalue o sh Execute the sequence of NSH commands in the file referred to by . o shutdown [--reboot] Shutdown and power off the system or, optionally, reset and reboot the system immediately. This command depends on hardware support to power down or reset the system; one, both, or neither behavior may be supported. NOTE: The shutdown command duplicates the behavior of the poweroff and reboot commands. o sleep Pause execution (sleep) of seconds. o telnetd The Telnet daemon may be started either programmatically by calling nsh_telnetstart() or it may be started from the NSH command line using this telnetd command. Normally this command would be suppressed with CONFIG_NSH_DISABLE_TELNETD because the Telnet daemon is automatically started in nsh_main.c. The exception is when CONFIG_NETINIT_NETLOCAL is selected. IN that case, the network is not enabled at initialization but rather must be enabled from the NSH command line or via other applications. In that case, calling nsh_telnetstart() before the the network is initialized will fail. o time "" Perform command timing. This command will execute the following string and then show how much time was required to execute the command. Time is shown with a resolution of 100 microseconds which may be beyond the resolution of many configurations. Note that the must be enclosed in quotation marks if it contains spaces or other delimiters. Example: nsh> time "sleep 2" 2.0100 sec nsh> The additional 10 millseconds in this example is due to the way that the sleep command works: It always waits one system clock tick longer than requested and this test setup used a 10 millisecond periodic system timer. Sources of error could include various quantization errors, competing CPU usage, and the additional overhead of the time command execution itself which is included in the total. The reported time is the elapsed time from starting of the command to completion of the command. This elapsed time may not necessarily be just the processing time for the command. It may included interrupt level processing, for example. In a busy system, command processing could be delayed if pre-empted by other, higher priority threads competing for CPU time. So the reported time includes all CPU processing from the start of the command to its finish possibly including unrelated processing time during that interval. Notice that: nsh> time "sleep 2 &" sleep [3:100] 0.0000 sec nsh> Since the sleep command is executed in background, the sleep command completes almost immediately. As opposed to the following where the time command is run in background with the sleep command: nsh> time "sleep 2" & time [3:100] nsh> 2.0100 sec o truncate -s

Shrink or extend the size of the regular file at to the specified . A argument that does not exist is created. The option is NOT optional. If a is larger than the specified size, the extra data is lost. If a is shorter, it is extended and the extended part reads as zero bytes. o umount Un-mount the file system at mount point . The umount command can only be used to un-mount volumes previously mounted using mount command. Example: nsh> ls /mnt/fs /mnt/fs: TESTDIR/ nsh> umount /mnt/fs nsh> ls /mnt/fs /mnt/fs: nsh: ls: no such directory: /mnt/fs nsh> o unset Remove the value associated with the variable . This will remove the name-value pair from both the NSH local variables and the group-wide environment variables. For example: nsh> echo $foobar foovalue nsh> unset foobar nsh> echo $foobar nsh> o urldecode [-f] o urlencode [-f] o uname [-a | -imnoprsv] Print certain system information. With no options, the output is the same as -s. -a Print all information, in the following order, except omit -p and -i if unknown: -s, -o, Print the operating system name (NuttX) -n Print the network node hostname (only availabel if CONFIG_NET=y) -r Print the kernel release -v Print the kernel version -m Print the machine hardware name -i Print the machine platform name -p Print "unknown" o useradd Add a new user with and o userdel Delete the user with the name o usleep Pause execution (sleep) of microseconds. o wget [-o ] Use HTTP to copy the file at to the current directory. Options: -o The file will be saved relative to the current working directory and with the same name as on the HTTP server unless is provided. o xd

Dump bytes of data from address Example: ^^^^^^^^ nsh> xd 410e0 512 Hex dump: 0000: 00 00 00 00 9c 9d 03 00 00 00 00 01 11 01 10 06 ................ 0010: 12 01 11 01 25 08 13 0b 03 08 1b 08 00 00 02 24 ....%..........$ ... 01f0: 08 3a 0b 3b 0b 49 13 00 00 04 13 01 01 13 03 08 .:.;.I.......... nsh> Built-In Commands ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ In addition to the commands that are part of NSH listed above, there can be additional, external "built-in" applications that can be added to NSH. These are separately excecuble programs but will appear much like the commands that are a part of NSH. The primary difference from the user's perspective is that help information about the built-in applications is not directly available from NSH. Rather, you will need to execute the application with the -h option to get help about using the built-in applications. There are several built-in appliations in the apps/ repository. No attempt is made here to enumerate all of them. But a few of the more common built- in applications are listed below. o ping [-c ] [-i ] ping6 [-c ] [-i ] Test the network communication with a remote peer. Example, nsh> 10.0.0.1 PING 10.0.0.1 56 bytes of data 56 bytes from 10.0.0.1: icmp_seq=1 time=0 ms 56 bytes from 10.0.0.1: icmp_seq=2 time=0 ms 56 bytes from 10.0.0.1: icmp_seq=3 time=0 ms 56 bytes from 10.0.0.1: icmp_seq=4 time=0 ms 56 bytes from 10.0.0.1: icmp_seq=5 time=0 ms 56 bytes from 10.0.0.1: icmp_seq=6 time=0 ms 56 bytes from 10.0.0.1: icmp_seq=7 time=0 ms 56 bytes from 10.0.0.1: icmp_seq=8 time=0 ms 56 bytes from 10.0.0.1: icmp_seq=9 time=0 ms 56 bytes from 10.0.0.1: icmp_seq=10 time=0 ms 10 packets transmitted, 10 received, 0% packet loss, time 10190 ms nsh> ping6 differs from ping in that it uses IPv6 addressing. NSH Configuration Settings ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ The availability of the above commands depends upon features that may or may not be enabled in the NuttX configuration file. The following table indicates the dependency of each command on NuttX configuration settings. General configuration settings are discussed in the NuttX Porting Guide. Configuration settings specific to NSH as discussed at the bottom of this README file.

Because of hardware padding, the actual MTU required for put and get operations size may be larger. 2.

CONFIG_FS_READABLE is not a user configuration but is set automatically if any readable file system is selected. 4. CONFIG_FS_WRITABLE is not a user configuration but is set automatically if any writable file system is selected. In addition, each NSH command can be individually disabled via one of the following settings. All of these settings make the configuration of NSH potentially complex but also allow it to squeeze into very small memory footprints. CONFIG_NSH_DISABLE_ADDROUTE, CONFIG_NSH_DISABLE_BASE64DEC, CONFIG_NSH_DISABLE_BASE64ENC, CONFIG_NSH_DISABLE_BASENAME, CONFIG_NSH_DISABLE_CAT, CONFIG_NSH_DISABLE_CD, CONFIG_NSH_DISABLE_CP, CONFIG_NSH_DISABLE_DD, CONFIG_NSH_DISABLE_DELROUTE, CONFIG_NSH_DISABLE_DF, CONFIG_NSH_DISABLE_DIRNAME, CONFIG_NSH_DISABLE_DMESG, CONFIG_NSH_DISABLE_ECHO, CONFIG_NSH_DISABLE_ENV, CONFIG_NSH_DISABLE_EXEC, CONFIG_NSH_DISABLE_EXIT, CONFIG_NSH_DISABLE_EXPORT, CONFIG_NSH_DISABLE_FREE, CONFIG_NSH_DISABLE_GET, CONFIG_NSH_DISABLE_HELP, CONFIG_NSH_DISABLE_HEXDUMP, CONFIG_NSH_DISABLE_IFCONFIG, CONFIG_NSH_DISABLE_IFUPDOWN, CONFIG_NSH_DISABLE_KILL, CONFIG_NSH_DISABLE_LOSETUP, CONFIG_NSH_DISABLE_LN, CONFIG_NSH_DISABLE_LS, CONFIG_NSH_DISABLE_MD5, CONFIG_NSH_DISABLE_MB, CONFIG_NSH_DISABLE_MKDIR, CONFIG_NSH_DISABLE_MKFATFS, CONFIG_NSH_DISABLE_MKFIFO, CONFIG_NSH_DISABLE_MKRD, CONFIG_NSH_DISABLE_MH, CONFIG_NSH_DISABLE_MODCMDS, CONFIG_NSH_DISABLE_MOUNT, CONFIG_NSH_DISABLE_MW, CONFIG_NSH_DISABLE_MV, CONFIG_NSH_DISABLE_NFSMOUNT, CONFIG_NSH_DISABLE_NSLOOKUP, CONFIG_NSH_DISABLE_PASSWD, CONFIG_NSH_DISABLE_PING6, CONFIG_NSH_DISABLE_POWEROFF, CONFIG_NSH_DISABLE_PS, CONFIG_NSH_DISABLE_PUT, CONFIG_NSH_DISABLE_PWD, CONFIG_NSH_DISABLE_READLINK, CONFIG_NSH_DISABLE_REBOOT, CONFIG_NSH_DISABLE_RM, CONFIG_NSH_DISABLE_RPTUN, CONFIG_NSH_DISABLE_RMDIR, CONFIG_NSH_DISABLE_ROUTE, CONFIG_NSH_DISABLE_SET, CONFIG_NSH_DISABLE_SH, CONFIG_NSH_DISABLE_SHUTDOWN, CONFIG_NSH_DISABLE_SLEEP, CONFIG_NSH_DISABLE_TEST, CONFIG_NSH_DIABLE_TIME, CONFIG_NSH_DISABLE_TRUNCATE, CONFIG_NSH_DISABLE_UMOUNT, CONFIG_NSH_DISABLE_UNSET, CONFIG_NSH_DISABLE_URLDECODE, CONFIG_NSH_DISABLE_URLENCODE, CONFIG_NSH_DISABLE_USERADD, CONFIG_NSH_DISABLE_USERDEL, CONFIG_NSH_DISABLE_USLEEP, CONFIG_NSH_DISABLE_WGET, CONFIG_NSH_DISABLE_XD Verbose help output can be suppressed by defining CONFIG_NSH_HELP_TERSE. In that case, the help command is still available but will be slightly smaller. Built-in Application Configuration Settings ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ All built-in applications require that support for NSH built-in applications has been enabled. This support is enabled with CONFIG_BUILTIN=y and CONFIG_NSH_BUILTIN_APPS=y. Application Depends on Configuration ----------- -------------------------- ping CONFIG_NET && CONFIG_NET_ICMP && CONFIG_NET_ICMP_SOCKET && CONFIG_SYSTEM_PING ping6 CONFIG_NET && CONFIG_NET_ICMPv6 && CONFIG_NET_ICMPv6_SOCKET && CONFIG_SYSTEM_PING6 NSH-Specific Configuration Settings ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ The behavior of NSH can be modified with the following settings in the boards////configs//defconfig file: * CONFIG_NSH_READLINE Selects the minimal implementation of readline(). This minimal implementation provides on backspace for command line editing. * CONFIG_NSH_CLE Selects the more extensive, EMACS-like command line editor. Select this option only if (1) you don't mind a modest increase in the FLASH footprint, and (2) you work with a terminal that support VT100 editing commands. Selecting this option will add probably 1.5-2KB to the FLASH footprint. * CONFIG_NSH_BUILTIN_APPS Support external registered, "builtin" applications that can be executed from the NSH command line (see apps/README.txt for more information). * CONFIG_NSH_FILEIOSIZE Size of a static I/O buffer used for file access (ignored if there is no file system). Default is 1024. * CONFIG_NSH_STRERROR strerror(errno) makes more readable output but strerror() is very large and will not be used unless this setting is 'y'. This setting depends upon the strerror() having been enabled with CONFIG_LIBC_STRERROR. * CONFIG_NSH_LINELEN The maximum length of one command line and of one output line. Default: 80 * CONFIG_NSH_DISABLE_SEMICOLON By default, you can enter multiple NSH commands on a line with each command separated by a semicolon. You can disable this feature to save a little memory on FLASH challenged platforms. Default: n * CONFIG_NSH_CMDPARMS If selected, then the output from commands, from file applications, and from NSH built-in commands can be used as arguments to other commands. The entity to be executed is identified by enclosing the command line in back quotes. For example, set FOO `myprogram $BAR` Will execute the program named myprogram passing it the value of the environment variable BAR. The value of the environment variable FOO is then set output of myprogram on stdout. Because this feature commits significant resources, it is disabled by default. The CONFIG_NSH_CMDPARMS interim output will be retained in a temporary file. Full path to a directory where temporary files can be created is taken from CONFIG_LIBC_TMPDIR and it defaults to /tmp if CONFIG_LIBC_TMPDIR is not set. * CONFIG_NSH_MAXARGUMENTS The maximum number of NSH command arguments. Default: 6 * CONFIG_NSH_ARGCAT Support concatenation of strings with environment variables or command output. For example: set FOO XYZ set BAR 123 set FOOBAR ABC_${FOO}_${BAR} would set the environment variable FOO to XYZ, BAR to 123 and FOOBAR to ABC_XYZ_123. If NSH_ARGCAT is not selected, then a slightly small FLASH footprint results but then also only simple environment variables like $FOO can be used on the command line. * CONFIG_NSH_VARS By default, there are no internal NSH variables. NSH will use OS environment variables for all variable storage. If this option, NSH will also support local NSH variables. These variables are, for the most part, transparent and work just like the OS environment variables. The difference is that when you create new tasks, all of environment variables are inherited by the created tasks. NSH local variables are not. If this option is enabled (and CONFIG_DISABLE_ENVIRON is not), then a new command called 'export' is enabled. The export command works very must like the set command except that is operates on environment variables. When CONFIG_NSH_VARS is enabled, there are changes in the behavior of certain commands ============== =========================== =========================== CMD w/o CONFIG_NSH_VARS w/CONFIG_NSH_VARS ============== =========================== =========================== set Set environment var a to b Set NSH var a to b set Causes an error Lists all NSH variables unset Unsets environment var a Unsets both environment var and NSH var a export Causes an error Unsets NSH var a. Sets environment var a to b. export Causes an error Sets environment var a to NSH var b (or ""). Unsets local var a. env Lists all environment Lists all environment variables variables (only) ============== =========================== =========================== * CONFIG_NSH_QUOTE Enables back-slash quoting of certain characters within the command. This option is useful for the case where an NSH script is used to dynamically generate a new NSH script. In that case, commands must be treated as simple text strings without interpretation of any special characters. Special characters such as $, `, ", and others must be retained intact as part of the test string. This option is currently only available is CONFIG_NSH_ARGCAT is also selected. * CONFIG_NSH_NESTDEPTH The maximum number of nested if-then[-else]-fi sequences that are permissable. Default: 3 * CONFIG_NSH_DISABLESCRIPT This can be set to 'y' to suppress support for scripting. This setting disables the 'sh', 'test', and '[' commands and the if-then[-else]-fi construct. This would only be set on systems where a minimal footprint is a necessity and scripting is not. * CONFIG_NSH_DISABLE_ITEF If scripting is enabled, then then this option can be selected to suppress support for if-then-else-fi sequences in scripts. This would only be set on systems where some minimal scripting is required but if-then-else-fi is not. * CONFIG_NSH_DISABLE_LOOPS If scripting is enabled, then then this option can be selected suppress support for while-do-done and until-do-done sequences in scripts. This would only be set on systems where some minimal scripting is required but looping is not. * CONFIG_NSH_DISABLEBG This can be set to 'y' to suppress support for background commands. This setting disables the 'nice' command prefix and the '&' command suffix. This would only be set on systems where a minimal footprint is a necessity and background command execution is not. * CONFIG_NSH_MMCSDMINOR If the architecture supports an MMC/SD slot and if the NSH architecture specific logic is present, this option will provide the MMC/SD minor number, i.e., the MMC/SD block driver will be registered as /dev/mmcsdN where N is the minor number. Default is zero. * CONFIG_NSH_ROMFSETC Mount a ROMFS file system at /etc and provide a startup script at /etc/init.d/rcS. The default startup script will mount a FAT FS RAMDISK at /tmp but the logic is easily extensible. * CONFIG_NSH_CONSOLE If CONFIG_NSH_CONSOLE is set to 'y', then a serial console front-end is selected. Normally, the serial console device is a UART and RS-232 interface. However, if CONFIG_USBDEV is defined, then a USB serial device may, instead, be used if the one of the following are defined: CONFIG_PL2303 and CONFIG_PL2303_CONSOLE - Sets up the Prolifics PL2303 emulation as a console device at /dev/console. CONFIG_CDCACM and CONFIG_CDCACM_CONSOLE - Sets up the CDC/ACM serial device as a console device at dev/console. CONFIG_NSH_USBCONSOLE If defined, then the an arbitrary USB device may be used to as the NSH console. In this case, CONFIG_NSH_USBCONDEV must be defined to indicate which USB device to use as the console. CONFIG_NSH_USBCONDEV If CONFIG_NSH_USBCONSOLE is set to 'y', then CONFIG_NSH_USBCONDEV must also be set to select the USB device used to support the NSH console. This should be set to the quoted name of a read-/write-able USB driver. Default: "/dev/ttyACM0". If there are more than one USB devices, then a USB device minor number may also need to be provided: CONFIG_NSH_USBDEV_MINOR The minor device number of the USB device. Default: 0 CONFIG_NSH_USBKBD Normally NSH uses the same device for stdin, stdout, and stderr. By default, that device is /dev/console. If this option is selected, then NSH will use a USB HID keyboard for stdin. In this case, the keyboard is connected directly to the target (via a USB host interface) and the data from the keyboard will drive NSH. NSH output (stdout and stderr) will still go to /dev/console. CONFIG_NSH_USBKBD_DEVNAME If NSH_USBKBD is set to 'y', then NSH_USBKBD_DEVNAME must also be set to select the USB keyboard device used to support the NSH console input. This should be set to the quoted name of a read- able keyboard driver. Default: "/dev/kbda". CONFIG_NSH_USBDEV_TRACE If USB tracing is enabled (CONFIG_USBDEV_TRACE), then NSH can be configured to show the buffered USB trace data afer each NSH command: If CONFIG_NSH_USBDEV_TRACE is selected, then USB trace data can be filtered as follows. Default: Only USB errors are traced. CONFIG_NSH_USBDEV_TRACEINIT Show initialization events CONFIG_NSH_USBDEV_TRACECLASS Show class driver events CONFIG_NSH_USBDEV_TRACETRANSFERS Show data transfer events CONFIG_NSH_USBDEV_TRACECONTROLLER Show controller events CONFIG_NSH_USBDEV_TRACEINTERRUPTS Show interrupt-related events. * CONFIG_NSH_ALTCONDEV and CONFIG_NSH_CONDEV If CONFIG_NSH_CONSOLE is set to 'y', then CONFIG_NSH_ALTCONDEV may also be selected to enable use of an alternate character device to support the NSH console. If CONFIG_NSH_ALTCONDEV is selected, then CONFIG_NSH_CONDEV holds the quoted name of a readable/write-able character driver such as: CONFIG_NSH_CONDEV="/dev/ttyS1". This is useful, for example, to separate the NSH command line from the system console when the system console is used to provide debug output. Default: stdin and stdout (probably "/dev/console") NOTE 1: When any other device other than /dev/console is used for a user interface, (1) linefeeds (\n) will not be expanded to carriage return / linefeeds (\r\n). You will need to configure your terminal program to account for this. And (2) input is not automatically echoed so you will have to turn local echo on. NOTE 2: This option forces the console of all sessions to use NSH_CONDEV. Hence, this option only makes sense for a system that supports only a single session. This option is, in particular, incompatible with Telnet sessions because each Telnet session must use a different console device. * CONFIG_NSH_TELNET If CONFIG_NSH_TELNET is set to 'y', then a TELENET server front-end is selected. When this option is provided, you may log into NuttX remotely using telnet in order to access NSH. * CONFIG_NSH_ARCHINIT Set if your board provides architecture specific initialization via the board-interface function boardctl(). This function will be called early in NSH initialization to allow board logic to do such things as configure MMC/SD slots. If Telnet is selected for the NSH console, then we must configure the resources used by the Telnet daemon and by the Telnet clients. * CONFIG_NSH_TELNETD_PORT - The telnet daemon will listen on this TCP port number for connections. Default: 23 * CONFIG_NSH_TELNETD_DAEMONPRIO - Priority of the Telnet daemon. Default: SCHED_PRIORITY_DEFAULT * CONFIG_NSH_TELNETD_DAEMONSTACKSIZE - Stack size allocated for the Telnet daemon. Default: 2048 * CONFIG_NSH_TELNETD_CLIENTPRIO- Priority of the Telnet client. Default: SCHED_PRIORITY_DEFAULT * CONFIG_NSH_TELNETD_CLIENTSTACKSIZE - Stack size allocated for the Telnet client. Default: 2048 One or both of CONFIG_NSH_CONSOLE and CONFIG_NSH_TELNET must be defined. If CONFIG_NSH_TELNET is selected, then there some other configuration settings that apply: * CONFIG_NET=y Of course, networking must be enabled * CONFIG_NET_TCP=y TCP/IP support is required for telnet (as well as various other TCP-related configuration settings). * CONFIG_NSH_IOBUFFER_SIZE Determines the size of the I/O buffer to use for sending/ receiving TELNET commands/reponses * CONFIG_NETINIT_DHCPC Obtain the IP address via DHCP. * CONFIG_NETINIT_IPADDR If CONFIG_NETINIT_DHCPC is NOT set, then the static IP address must be provided. * CONFIG_NETINIT_DRIPADDR Default router IP address * CONFIG_NETINIT_NETMASK Network mask * CONFIG_NETINIT_NOMAC Set if your ethernet hardware has no built-in MAC address. If set, a bogus MAC will be assigned. If you use DHCPC, then some special configuration network options are required. These include: * CONFIG_NET=y Of course, networking must be enabled * CONFIG_NET_UDP=y UDP support is required for DHCP (as well as various other UDP-related configuration settings) * CONFIG_NET_BROADCAST=y UDP broadcast support is needed. * CONFIG_NET_ETH_PKTSIZE=650 (or larger) Per RFC2131 (p. 9), the DHCP client must be prepared to receive DHCP messages of up to 576 bytes (excluding Ethernet, IP, or UDP headers and FCS). NOTE: Note that the actual MTU setting will depend upon the specific link protocol. Here Ethernet is indicated. If CONFIG_NSH_ROMFSETC is selected, then the following additional configuration setting apply: * CONFIG_NSH_ROMFSMOUNTPT The default mountpoint for the ROMFS volume is /etc, but that can be changed with this setting. This must be a absolute path beginning with '/'. * CONFIG_NSH_INITSCRIPT This is the relative path to the startup script within the mountpoint. The default is init.d/rcS. This is a relative path and must not start with '/'. * CONFIG_NSH_ROMFSDEVNO This is the minor number of the ROMFS block device. The default is '0' corresponding to /dev/ram0. * CONFIG_NSH_ROMFSSECTSIZE This is the sector size to use with the ROMFS volume. Since the default volume is very small, this defaults to 64 but should be increased if the ROMFS volume were to be become large. Any value selected must be a power of 2. When the default rcS file used when CONFIG_NSH_ROMFSETC is selected, it will mount a FAT FS under /tmp. The following selections describe that FAT FS. * CONFIG_NSH_FATDEVNO This is the minor number of the FAT FS block device. The default is '1' corresponding to /dev/ram1. * CONFIG_NSH_FATSECTSIZE This is the sector size use with the FAT FS.
