# Now sets the boot delay from python code in u-boot.inc
==============================================================
# This change sets the bootdelay to 2 seconds. On old devices
# the bootdelay may be in the environment variable partitions.
# When updating a system, u-boot setenv command must be used
# to set the bootdelay to 2 in the environment. A bootdelay
# of zero will make it nearly impossible to enter U-Boot,
# and zero is the old default, and may be in the environment.
# For MTCDT only the unpowered EXAR serial to USB convertor
# leaks the output of the console back to the input in some
# cases. Therefore it is necessary to flush the UART before
# attempting to monitor keystrokes. The output of the
# console must be quiet, or in the case of the normal
# boot where the EXAR part is unpowered, the read of the
# keyboard may be reading output to the console screen.
# This problem never occurs if the EXAR part is connected
# to a PC, and is powered.
