PXE Boot
========
PXE Boot and extlinux.conf
==========================
The ``pxe`` commands provide a near subset of the functionality
provided by the PXELINUX boot loader. This allows U-Boot based systems
to be controlled remotely using the same PXE based techniques that
many non U-Boot based servers use.
The ``sysboot`` command and Extlinux boot method use the same file
format as PXE boot for ``extlinux.conf``.
Commands
--------
``pxe get``
**syntax:** ``pxe get``
**Syntax:** ``pxe get``
follows PXELINUX's rules for retrieving configuration files
from a tftp server, and supports a subset of PXELINUX's config

``sysboot``
**Syntax:** ``sysboot [-p] <interface> <dev[:part]> <ext2|fat|any> [addr] [filename]``
Load and boot an ``extlinux.conf`` file from a local
filesystem. Paths in the ``extlinux.conf`` file (kernel,
initrd, FDT and overlays) will be interpreted within that
filesystem.
Example:
``sysboot mmc 0.0:2 any ${pxefile_addr_r} /boot/extlinux.conf``
