U-Boot environment
From Openmoko
The bootloader environment configures the bootloader. Between reboots, the environment is stored with a checksum in the internal flash partition called "u-boot_env". On the bootloader console, there are bootloader commands for environment manipulation.

Timeouts
If the boot loader menu is on the screen, the phone will power off when there hasn't been activity for a while. This is not nice if you are working on the boot loader console, but you can make the time longer:
setenv boot_menu_timeout [seconds]
After the phone is powered on, there is a short period of time when you can connect to the console and cancel the automatic boot without going to the menu:
setenv bootdelay [seconds]
Menu
You can add items to the boot menu by setting environment variables of the form menu_<number> to values of the form <Title>: U-Boot-Commands.
For example the following command will add a boot menu entry that switches to autofast charging and turns off the backlight:
setenv menu_6 Autofast-Charge and Backlight Off: neo1973 charger autofast\; neo1973 backlight off
While in this state, your Neo1973 can be charged with a generic USB charger. You also need to set boot_menu_timeout to 65000 to keep it from powering down, though.
Console
To get access to the bootloader console over USB, the following settings need to be made:
GTA01Bv2 # setenv stderr usbtty GTA01Bv2 # setenv stdout usbtty GTA01Bv2 # setenv stdin usbtty
