| 09:28 | vpeter> | agraf: boot menu to select a kernel. |
| 09:30 | vpeter> | And using ir remote control for example to select. |

| 09:30 | agraf> | vpeter: for IR remote you'd need to implement a u-boot input driver that just turns the IR commands into keyboard controls |
| 09:33 | vpeter> | Thanks for the yt link. |
| 09:34 | vpeter> | Ideal would be to run something from old vendor u-boot to achieve this. |
| 09:41 | agraf> | vpeter: you'll need to patch u-boot to get the IR driver anyway, no? |
| 09:41 | agraf> | vpeter: so may as well throw away old vendor u-boots :) |
| 09:45 | vpeter> | For devices with full control sure. But lately I'm also using amlogic tv boxes where you can't just replace bootloader. |
| 09:48 | vpeter> | Anyway, it is just and idea playing in my head for now. Collecting infos. |
| 09:58 | agraf> | vpeter: the uefi support has been around for a few years now, maybe your amlogic tv boxes can just use it? |
| 09:58 | agraf> | vpeter: you could also patch grub to implement your ir driver if you really can't modify u-boot |
| 10:05 | vpeter> | Yes, this was my thinking. |
