Hi,

How am i creating a sub-menu ?
I want for example to open a sub-menu from the main menu.
Since i have to use the command "run XXX.bin" i don't understand how can i create a new boot image for a menu other than "loader" that comes as a default with the EZBoot.

Thanks,

Create a menu that’s supposed to be your submenu. When saving, make sure you choose “Sub Menu” in the field for “Menu Type”. Save it with the name: submenu (just for fun).

Open your main menu (in this example named mainmenu). If you like to “jump” to this new submenu, you use command: “run submenu.ezb” (no quotes)  program then “jumps” and open this submenu.

To return (if wanted) to mainmenu, use command in submenu: “run mainmenu.ezb” (no quotes).  This takes you back to mainmenu. As you can notice, this gives you opportunity do make quite complex system of submenus. You can “jump” from one “submenu” to another “submenu” and from this back to “mainmenu”.

Note: Keep names on menus maximum eight letters, and note that menus always have extension ezb (mainmenu.ezb or submenu.ezb as example).

I was wondering on how to do that. Will be one of my project to do.
