+### Automatic registration of console commands
+The `console_simple_init` component includes a utility function named `console_cmd_all_register()`. This function automates the registration of all commands that are linked into the application. To use this functionality, the application can call `console_cmd_all_register()` as demonstrated above.
+
+When creating a new component, you can ensure that its commands are registered automatically by placing the registration function into the `.console_cmd_desc` section within the output binary.
+
+To achieve this, follow these steps:
+1. Add the following lines to the main file of the component
+```
+static const console_cmd_plugin_desc_t __attribute__((section(".console_cmd_desc"), used)) PLUGIN = {
+    .name = "cmd_name_string",
+    .plugin_regd_fn = &cmd_registration_function
+};̌
+```
+2. Add the `WHOLE_ARCHIVE` flag to CMakeLists.txt of the component.
+
