I did hope there was some clever way to do this using existing commands.

I will send a patch. I am not sure how OR or XOR could be useful 
though... We do not support multiple operations or store computed 
expression results anywhere.

I am not asking anything about hardware. Forget I said GPIO. Let's say a 
value in general memory space. It could be in ram or flash....

I know I can compare a simple value using itest command. e.g.

itest *4000 -eq 1234 && echo 'Addr 4000 contains 1234'

Now my problem is how can I test a bit of 32 bit quantity (say bit 4) 
stored at location 4000? This is a question about general hush/u-boot 
shell capability? It is a generic question...

Best regards,
Tolunay

At the moment there is  no  command  that  implements  this.  As  you
probaly  are aware, the "itest" command just implements the following
operations:

op_tbl_t op_table [] = {
        { "-lt", LT },
        { "<"  , LT }, 
        { "-gt", GT },
        { ">"  , GT }, 
        { "-eq", EQ },
        { "==" , EQ }, 
        { "-ne", NE },
        { "!=" , NE }, 
        { "<>" , NE }, 
        { "-ge", GE },
        { ">=" , GE }, 
        { "-le", LE },
        { "<=" , LE }, 
};

Feel free to add new commands for AND, OR, and XOR...

Within a u-boot script (to be executed by autoscr command), I need to 
read a GPIO port and if a particular GPIO bit is set execute some 
conditional commands. I am not sure how to do this with test/itest 
commands. Any ideas?
