Dear,

I'm new to uClinux and i'm trying to port an excisting program on an other OS to blackfin uClinux.

Hereby I have the following problem:

In my old system, I could switch between console and application using ctrl-F.

Is it possible to switch between console and application in uClinux?

For example, when I start the program using  "root:>prog &", I'm in console mode and I can go trough the filesystem.

When I start using "root:>prog", I'm in application mode and I can give commands to the program.

Is it possible to switch at runtime through this modes?

Thanks,

i dont know what "CTRL+F" is, but the current shell we use (msh) does not support job processing.  that is to say, you cant use CTRL+Z, fg, bg, etc...

CTRL+F I just mentioned as example.

So it's not possible to switch between console and application?
