Ok, thank you anyway..
We have a plan to 'remote control' barebox.. Would have been good, if i 
wasn't the first doing this ;)

Well we have UART console and network console, you can use something
like kermit or expect to remote control barebox.

I know this sucks and is not what you wanted to hear, but currently this

I more than once thought about a real machine interface to barebox, but
I have no good idea how to do this.
