All,
In an effort to play by the rules, we created a stand alone app that handles breaking the boot process with bootdelay set to 0. We require a special key sequence to break into the boot process to ensure security, and to ensure we do not interrupt the boot process with stray key strokes. We are seeing strange behavior from our applet. There are several API calls that we make from within the app that seem to make our processor go into a code violation error (even something as simple as a printf).
Unrelated, do CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_STOP_STR and similar not provide what you need here? See doc/README.autoboot
Yeah, that would _almost_ work, but not. I need to do something like:
If no boot, switch mux else boot. I don't think that will work with CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_STOP_STR. It is close, but not exactly what we need.
Our configuration is multiple processor, one serial console. Thus, there is one processor that is fixed as a receiver, the rest only see/send traffic when the multiplexor is set to that processor. So, If the user is attempting to break into one of the OTHER devices, and presses a stray CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_STOP_STR then the system would stop unexpectedly.
Unfortunately, front panel space is a premium on our system :.
Thanks for the info, though!
