Dear Andrzej Pietrasiewicz,

DFU is part of USB; an extension to be precise, but an extension bound so tightly to the design and philosophy of USB that it is rather inconceivable to separate the two.
Could you please be so kind and explain which exact issues you see for such a separation?
Eventually it should be possible to run this protocol over Ethernet or even over a serial line?
Of course there is no such a reason, provided we lay USB over Ethernet or serial line first ;)
This is of course not intended. I was thinking about a plain standard UDP based link.
Seriously speaking, in view of ties between DFU and USB IMHO it is impossible, or, at least, highly impractical.
Can you please support this statement with a few facts?
If my assumption is correct, then what would it take to split off protocol part and make it independent of the actual driver interface?
I guess that in the situation given it would be of little use.
What do you think would be of little use?
Best regards,
Wolfgang Denk
