I tested netconsole on RPXlite DW and succeeded. But still several unclear points in mind. All for the doc/README.Netconsole itself.
- $1 should be replaced as TARGET IP or not?
No. This is a shell script, so the shell will substitute the first argiument to the script here.
If I used the above script on my RED HAT 7.3 host PC, u-boot console could switch to host console but any input didn't work. When $1 was replaced as TARGET IP like 192.168.0.11, the above script can work right. Is the given script a common one or should be fixed as TARGET_IP=<TARGET_IP>?
Just call it and pass the IP address (or host name, assuming DNS is working) as first parameter.
- mpc5200 should be changed as TARGET IP or not?
Yes (or host name, assuming DNS is working)
- Why use Ctrl + T rather than Ctrl + C to interrupt
the script status?
Because ^C is used by U-Boot, too, and we need a (simple) way to pass it through while still being able to terminate the script.
In both scripts, only Ctrl + T can interrupt script status. Why not Ctrl + C? This one should be more
Because ^C is passed through to the U-Boot console.
common to use. Can we change it for more reasonable?
This is perfectly reasonable - pressing ^C at the U-Boot console does what is reasonablke: terminating the running U-Boot command (instead of throwing you out of the remote session).
