Hello,

I know CONFIG_BOARDINFO is board specific. However, I think it is more
conveniant
to have the possibility to define a banner text outside the Kconfig. For
example, I use
this in my config.h:

#define CONFIG_BOARD_BANNER_TEXT "\e[1;32m\
***********************************************************************\n\
*           Communication board bootloader (ODSFT0152)        *\n\
************************************************************************\
\e[0m\n\n"

So may be we could define this kind of banner in the Kconfig.....

Let me know if you don't like this. This patch was kind of a test for me and
we could
forget about it.

Although this patch was very small, we had a lot of discussion around it and
I don't
want to imagine what it is going to be when I submit the nios2 port :)

Best regards,
Franck.
