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).
I am new to programming with linux..

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.
