Re: In-built shell for Redboot


I think he want to call function by name directly without a warpper of "RedBoot_cmd()" macro.

Actually VxWorks provide this function. It strips all symbles from application image, then generate a source file contains all symbles, then add it into project and rebuild it. Then user can call all functions directly from VxWorks shell.
However, I think Redboot style is good enough.


But what I am thinking about is: Can we divide the shell functionality from Redboot and create a new package(suppose to be RedShell)?
Because we always need a shell in application, and there are very many things have been implemented in Redboot. If so, we can reduce a lot of work in writing application shell.

What is the difference between adding a redboot command and calling a
function? All a redboot command does is call a function.
