Hi Fabio and Stefano,

While trying to understand this, I wonder whether the
use of overwrite_console() addresses Wolfgang's original
concern.

I think the suggestion was to set the preboot variable
to change things:

#define CONFIG_PREBOOT "setenv stdout serial"

The has the benefit of allowing saveenv to completely
overwrite the decision.

Am I over-thinking this?

Please advise,


Eric
