Syslinux - Aug 2015 - interacting with UART

Thank you all very much!!

~Pat

Hi

I would like SYSLINUX to get input from UART and act accordingly.
For example, I want to choose what rootfs to load according to the sequence
received from UART.
So I'd like to know if SYSLINUX a the infrastructure for doing this and if
it maybe some reference for it.

Thanks a lot,
Tal

Yes, Syslinux supports serial ports a.k.a. UARTS. Since the very begining of the
project.

http://www.syslinux.org/wiki/index.php/Doc/syslinux 
search there ( `CTRL-F` ) for keyword 'SERIAL'
