Re: [U-Boot] [PATCH 5/5] Allow tftp server to be different from bootp/dhcp server

Dear Simon Glass,

In message BANLkTinsrGR1T_YAmQ-21d73OKEo__nGaA@mail.gmail.com you wrote:

Why don't you simply re-assing another value to "serverip" before doing any TFTP transfers?

The point here is to initialize the ethernet only once.

Technically it makes no difference if you change the "serverip" address in a script or in C code.

setenv autoload n; bootp; tftp...

does two initializations which costs a few seconds (to get a link, etc.).

This should not be the case. Which board / network hardware are you talking about?

Sorry, but I see no use for this patch.

Please take another look.

I did. My opiniton did not change.

Best regards,
