[U-Boot-Users] U-boot - Access to files

Hi, Im trying to provide something like an audio interface to the bootloader.
I want to play some audio - (It could be name of the command or simply "Downloading the kernel") - something like that.
Basically, What i want is access to some sound data in flash, i have an small audio driver in place in the boot loader,
All i want is to download the audio data file sitting somewhere in the flash and access it. It could be a file or it could be some data flashed at some predetermined location in the flash.
Does u-boot provide any facility to do that or has anyone tried that in u-boot?.
I know this is some kinda of a wired requirement.
Please Advice,
Regards, sriram

This has been done before, see for example the "wav" command in "board/tqm5200/cmd_stk52xx.c"

OK.

Yes, and yes.

Looks pretty wireless to me ;-)
