Can you please try and explain what you find confusing, and what you mean by "not console dependent"? I cannot even guess what you mean here. > > > -#define CONFIG_SYS_DEVICE_NULLDEV 1 > > > +#if defined(CONFIG_SPLASH_SCREEN) && !defined(CONFIG_SYS_STDIO_NULLDEV) > > > +#define CONFIG_SYS_STDIO_NULLDEV 1 > > > #endif > > > > I'm not happy about the CONFIG_SYS_STDIO_NULLDEV; the "NULL device" is > > actually a more general concept and not limited to the stdio handling. > > Please do not put a "STDIO" in this name. > here it's to active the stdio null device No. If you are talking about "a more general concept" which is "not limited to the stdio handling", then we should do it right. Then there is no such thing as a "stdio null device". There is only a null device, and we assign it to one or more stdio channels here. Please do not name this "stdio null device" or ...STDIO_NULLDEV.
