Hi Wolfgang,

How do people usually learn u-boot command line, scripting, and hush shell
without any kind of syntax guide?

It is. And it is organized  in the form of a wiki, where each and every
U-Boot user has the opportnity to contribute, to fix bugs and to add
missing parts.

Well, maybe you could help and add what you find is missing?

thinking it is correct.



This is IMO a stupid request.  Incomplete documentation is still better
than no documentation at all.  Instead of complaining it would be more
helpful if you supporteed the community by adding to and improving the
documentation.



Thanks.
