OK So let me rephrase myself My aim is to open the NetConsole for input (stdin=nc)only if the user pressed on a specific button. How should the code that opens the NetConsole look like, after i discovered the button was pressed?

Thanks, Alex

I'm trying to add the NetConsole to my project. I've set all the related environment variables

when i start UBoot and then type "run nc" i see that i receive the data i'm sending from remote PC, but if i call "run nc" from within the UBoot, using run_command("run nc", 1);, i don't receive that data.

Am i doing something wrong?

Yes, that much is sure, as it doesn't work for you.

Since you don't provide any deyails of your code changes (like a patch against top-of-tree in mainline) we can only guess. My guess is: You are missing a semicolon in line 42.

Thanks Wolfgang ! that helped, the last question i have is: I want the NetConsole to listen for incoming messages for 2 sec, I've tried using NetSetTimeout, but it seems to not work

setenv("stdin", "nc");

Of course, you must make sure to run this only after device intialization.
