The equivalent in main.c at cyg_start():

    while (true) {
        if (prompt) {
            diag_printf("RedBoot> ");
            prompt = false;
        }
#if CYGNUM_REDBOOT_CMD_LINE_EDITING != 0
        cmd_history = true;  // Enable history collection
#endif
        res = _rb_gets(line, sizeof(line), CYGNUM_REDBOOT_CLI_IDLE_TIMEOUT);
#if CYGNUM_REDBOOT_CMD_LINE_EDITING != 0
        cmd_history = false;  // Enable history collection
#endif
        if (res == _GETS_TIMEOUT) {
            // No input arrived
        } else {


This is the redboot even loop that's waiting for Reboot or GDB commands. The 
call to _rb_gets() read the console & feeds the command strings to this 
loop.
