+eficonfig command
+=================
+
+Synopsis
+--------
+::
+
+    eficonfig
+
+Description
+-----------
+
+The "eficonfig" command uses U-Boot menu interface and privides
+a menu-driven UEFI variable maintenance feature.
+The "eficonfig" has the following menu entries.
+
+Add Boot Option
+    Add new UEFI Boot Option.
+    User can edit description, file path, and optional_data.
+
+Edit Boot Option
+    Edit the existing UEFI Boot Option
+    User can edit description, file path, and optional_data.
+
+Change Boot Order
+    Change the order of UEFI BootOrder variable.
+
+Delete Boot Option
+    Delete the UEFI Boot Option
+
+Configuration
+-------------
+
+The "eficonfig" command is enabled by::
+
+    CONFIG_CMD_EFICONFIG=y
+
+If CONFIG_BOOTMENU_DISABLE_UBOOT_CONSOLE is enabled, user can not enter
+U-Boot console. In this case, bootmenu can be used to invoke "eficonfig"::
+
+    CONFIG_USE_PREBOOT=y
+    CONFIG_PREBOOT="setenv bootmenu_0 UEFI Maintenance Menu=eficonfig"
+
+How to boot the system with newly added UEFI Boot Option
+''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
+
+"eficonfig" command is responsible to configure the UEFI variables,
+not directly handle the system boot.
+The new Boot Option added by "eficonfig" is appended at the last entry
+of UEFI BootOrder variable, user may want to change the boot order
+through "Change Boot Order".
+If the bootmenu is enabled and "eficonfig" is configured as preboot command,
+the newly added Boot Options are enumerated in the bootmenu when user exits
+from the eficonfig menu.
+User may select the entry in the bootmenu to boot the system, or follow
+the U-Boot configuration the system already has.
