Hi all,
I was wondering if there is any way, while connected to serial console, for example on a Dockstar or a Zyxel NSA320/325, to leave the linux command line and drop to UBoot command line.
On other machines with different bootloader, like OpenBoot, it is possible to use an escape sequence from the keyboard on the serial console, to drop to the boot loader and issue commands.
That would be quite useful if kernel hangs or the device becomes really slow and a remote reset would be uselful to restart the device.
Of course the serial connection has to be forwarded over ethernet in some ways, like a concentrator.
Any idea for such an escape sequence?
Thanx in advance.
Paolo
