Using UPDATE_TFTP the firmware can be updated from TFTP by writing to NOR flash. The same is possible by defining a dfu command in CONFIG_PREBOOT.
The dfu command cannot only write to NOR but also to other devices. In README.dfutfp UPDATE_TFTP has been marked as deprecated. It is not used by any board.
Remove TFTP update via CONFIG_UPDATE_TFTP.
Adjust the documentation.

Also note that the UPDATE_TFTP is being actively used, why is it removed here and this late in rc3 ? I think these patches should really be postponed until after the release.
Hello Marek,
Hi,
do you see a problem in principal with the removal of UPDATE_TFTP which is redundant to what you can do with DFU or is it only the timing issue?
I don't see how it is redundant. The usecase I see is a fitImage which contains the update fragments is applied with a single command this way. I don't see a suitable replacement.
