[U-Boot] bootstopkey reason behind it

[Paavaanan_T_N at Dell.com]

Heiko,

Thanks for the input. I configured with the help of "bootstopkey" only. I am sorry it's a typo error while I copied in the mail thread. I am not sure am I hijacking the list or not. But, let me just want to clear this. To stop autoboot, one option which I choose is "bootstopkey". I enabled this in ifdef's in the code. Now, the issue is how to give Ctrl key as an input. Because, "setenv bootstopkey b" makes the boot halts. How to do this for [ctrl + b] combination. I tried  "setenv bootstopkey ^B ". It is saved successfully but it treat it separately as "^" and "b" not as Ctrl+b. So, this is the issue.. As per the design do this support this combination or do we don't care about this. I am not clear on this part.

Try "bootstopkey" ...
