Message-ID: List-Id: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit To: u-boot@lists.denx.de another beginner-level question, i'm sure, but what's the distinction between V_PROMPT and CONFIG_SYS_PROMPT for customizing the u-boot prompt? based on the output from a straightforward grep, it appears that every example of customizing the prompt has the form: #define V_PROMPT "OMAP3_EVM # " ... snip ... #define CONFIG_SYS_PROMPT V_PROMPT as in, V_PROMPT is set, for no other reason than to subsequently set CONFIG_SYS_PROMPT a few lines later, at which point V_PROMPT never seems to be used again. is this just a historical holdover? any reason why CONFIG_SYS_PROMPT can't be set directly and V_PROMPT ignored/removed? rday -- ======================================================================== Robert P.
