U-Boot provides a set of interfaces for creating and using simple, text
based menus. Menus are displayed as lists of labeled entries on the
console, and an entry can be selected by entering its label.
To use the menu code, enable CONFIG_MENU, and include "menu.h" where
the interfaces should be available.
Menus are composed of items. Each item has a key used to identify it in
the menu, and an opaque pointer to data controlled by the consumer.
If you want to show a menu, instead starting the shell, define
CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_MENU_SHOW. You have to code the int menu_show(int bootdelay)
function, which handle your menu. This function returns the remaining
bootdelay.
Interfaces
----------
#include "menu.h"

*/
int menu_default_choice(struct menu *m, void **choice);
/*
* menu_get_choice() - Returns the user's selected menu entry, or the
* default if the menu is set to not prompt or the timeout expires.
*/
int menu_get_choice(struct menu *m, void **choice);
/*

int menu_destroy(struct menu *m);
/*

*/
void menu_display_statusline(struct menu *m);
Example Code
------------
This example creates a menu that always prompts, and allows the user
to pick from a list of tools. The item key and data are the same.
#include "menu.h"
char *tools[] = {
"Hammer",
"Screwdriver",
"Nail gun",
NULL
};
char *pick_a_tool(void)
{
struct menu *m;
int i;
char *tool = NULL;
m = menu_create("Tools", 0, 1, NULL);
for(i = 0; tools[i]; i++) {
if (menu_item_add(m, tools[i], tools[i]) != 1) {
printf("failed to add item!");
menu_destroy(m);
return NULL;
}
}
if (menu_get_choice(m, (void **)&tool) != 1)
printf("Problem picking tool!\n");
menu_destroy(m);
return tool;
}
void caller(void)
{
char *tool = pick_a_tool();
if (tool) {
printf("picked a tool: %s\n", tool);
use_tool(tool);
}
}
