Thx, Is there an example code to accept a message through ethernet with 'network console' and call another tool, defined by the incoming message, through expect or kermit (depends what fits better).

Well we have UART console and network console, you can use something like kermit or expect to remote control barebox. I know this sucks and is not what you wanted to hear, but currently this is all we have. I more than once thought about a real machine interface to barebox, but I have no good idea how to do this.
