I want to configure bootstopkey to [ctrl + B] combination, So in bootprompt I gave => setenv boostopkey ^B => saveenv
Issuing printenv shows boostopkey=^B But, after issuing reset the key combination didn't stopped the autoboot.

But does not the keyboard send a single key code ? Maybe it is enough you put in CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_STOP_STR1 the keycode of your CTRL+key.
