Thanks for working on a task requiring much effort.

Yes. I really admire you for all your hard work on this. Now that I've done a tiny bit here as well. ;)

I am just wondering if we need not move the prompt messages verbatim to Kconfig.

I know CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_PROMPT provides us the best flexibility,
but the messages are most likely "autoboot in %d seconds" or "Press ...".

Can we put the message directly into common/autoboot.c like this?

  #ifdef CONFIG_SHOW_AUTOBOOT_PROMPT
         printf("Autoboot in %d seconds\n", CONFIG_BOOTDELAY);
         printf("Press %c to abort in %d seconds\n", CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_STOP_STR);
  #endif


I think I am missing some things here:
   - Those boards that require a password do not want to show it
   - We need to convert " " to user-visible "<SPACE>" if
CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_STOP_STP == " "


Any ideas?

Unfortunately not all boards print such a message. There is quite a range of alternatives, I'm afraid. Some boards use CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_STOP_STR, some CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_DELAY_STR. Some print this string / char, some don't. So we can't really convert them all into such a generic implementation. Without breaking backward (user) compatibility. At least I don't see such a way.

Thanks,
Stefan
