Hi everybody, I was wondering what would be the difficult to run some curses based menu from u-boot.
I've been search for curses porting and found this: http://frank.harvard.edu/~coldwell/ncurses/hackguide.html. The big problem here is that u-boot is not a operating system.
The motivation is simple. Would be nice to have boot options presented to user as a curses menu, like grub does, wouldn't?
The easy work arround I found here is booting to some initrd with curses installed. Then use the user input to configure u-boots enviroment so that the next reboot takes that configuration in account. What you think? I'm not using anything like this right know but I would like to do it in future...
maybe its worth that you look into u-boot:/doc/README.menu and u-boot:/doc/README.bootmenu
bye, Heiko
