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.

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).
