 --------------------

 Various options are available, mostly for test purposes. Use -h to see
-available options. Some of these are described below.
-
-The terminal is normally in what is called 'raw-with-sigs' mode. This means
-that you can use arrow keys for command editing and history, but if you
-press Ctrl-C, U-Boot will exit instead of handling this as a keypress.
-
-Other options are 'raw' (so Ctrl-C is handled within U-Boot) and 'cooked'
-(where the terminal is in cooked mode and cursor keys will not work, Ctrl-C
-will exit).
-
-As mentioned above, -l causes the LCD emulation window to be shown.
-
-A device tree binary file can be provided with -d. If you edit the source
-(it is stored at arch/sandbox/dts/sandbox.dts) you must rebuild U-Boot to
-recreate the binary file.
-
-To use the default device tree, use -D. To use the test device tree, use -T.
-
-To execute commands directly, use the -c option. You can specify a single
-command, or multiple commands separated by a semicolon, as is normal in
-U-Boot. Be careful with quoting as the shell will normally process and
-swallow quotes. When -c is used, U-Boot exits after the command is complete,
-but you can force it to go to interactive mode instead with -i.
