Dear coreboot folks,
in the coreboot IRC channel it was mentioned that a lot of vendors want to have a CLI (command line interface) payload. To get that they even used U-Boot as a payload. Though nobody understand the reason for this demand, the common opinion was to just give in and provide a solution for their problem. As getting a CLI payload with for example auto-completion, help texts and so on is tiresome and probably takes some work, I wonder why GRUB 2 is not a suitable solution? It’s very modular and thanks to Vladimir works very well as a payload for some time now. Though normally a menu is shown, you can drop into the command line and have a lot of commands depending on the modules you built. Could people in contact with the vendors please tell us, what the requirements from the vendors are? Do you also know if GRUB 2 does not fulfill one of these requirements? Thanks, Paul
