What you're asking for is the default behaviour - RedBoot should accept a telnet connection, even during a boot script. It allows for this by checking for an incoming telnet connection if there are no serial characters in the stream, while waiting for the ^C. > > Hardware is MIPS / AP30. You might compare the sources - I know that this configuration uses a pretty old version of RedBoot. It may also be modified such that what you're asking for is no longer working. - -- - ------------------------------------------------------------ Gary Thomas | Consulting for the MLB Associates | Embedded world - ------------------------------------------------------------ -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.7 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Fedora - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFGTM80maKbSsQGV8ARAiALAJ0UXcquHw6XElWRmui/CURCyYTvmQCgk564 /LysFyjjleQKIR3JscgMJXc= =c10X -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- Before posting, please read the FAQ: http://ecos.sourceware.org/fom/ecos and search the list archive: http://ecos.sourceware.org/ml/ecos-discuss
