Initialize Global Environment Area of NVRAM
Warning: This will DELETE any existing Global Environment Variables!
Continue? (Y/N)?
Entering a y or Y deletes all GEV labels and values. Any other answer preserves the GEV area.
A.3.2 Reserved GEVs
The MOTLoad firmware reserves several GEV names for the invoking of special features.
MOTLoad's approach to configuration and environment variables storage is simple. There are
no predefined locations (within the storage area) for each of the possible variables. Each
variable is defined by an identifier string. All variables are basically ASCII strings terminated by
a null character. This format of ASCII null terminated strings was utilized by PReP (PowerPC
Reference Platform) based computer systems. The name of these parameters is Global
Environment Variables (GEV).
Below is a list and the features in which the GEV is associated.
A.3.2.1 Startup GEVs
The reserved startup GEVs are:
mot-script-boot
This GEV is basically a script that is executed upon start-up. The contents of this script is any
combination of commands or tests that can be executed from the command line. This
script allows the user to automate the process of testing and booting.
mot-script-delay
The value associated with this GEV is the time in seconds the boot process will wait for the
user to have the opportunity to cancel the Startup Script. If this GEV is not defined the
default wait time is 7 seconds. This GEV is only used if the mot-script-boot has been
defined.
mot-boot-fail-led
If this GEV is set to the string “off”, the board fail LED will not be illuminated at OS startup.
By default, MOTLoad illuminates the board fail LED prior to transferring control to the OS.
If this LED behavior is undesired, the user may use the mot-boot-fail-led to change it.
