Hi, I am interested in adding some things to redboot's command line processing
to allow a bit more flexibility in scripting - specifically in
allowing a user to
choose between several linux images to boot without having to know the redboot
syntax for load or the kernel command line syntax for exec.
I think the basics I need are an echo type command to print stuff, a way of
grabbing user CLI input into a variable, a basic set of tests, and some kind
of conditional execution.
Has anybody implemented something like this for redboot? I don't really
want/need a full blown extension language, at the same time I don't want
to paint myself into a corner...

We use aliases for this here. i.e., the bootscript looks something like
mount -t jffs2 -f filesystem
load -r -b %{FREEMEMLO} %{zimage}
exec -c %{cmdline}
with appropriate aliases:
alias zimage /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.26-blah-blah
alias cmdline "\"console=ttyS0,115200 etc. etc.\""

I just upgraded my Ecos 1.0 to the latest rev. I built the code on a Linux
box. All installed fine, but I do not have a Configtool. I have it in Ecos
1.0. How do I build a Configtool?
