has some additional lwIP and Mbed TLS patches to do so. With that it becomes possible to fetch and launch a distro installer such as Debian etc. directly from the U-Boot shell.
Why this is enabling this use case? Or it is just that currently, without TLS, is not supposed to be something you should do? I am a little bit confused reading this sentence, since to me this is already possible using tftp.
A lot of companies don't want to run tftp any more when http(s) is more straight forward, especially when used outside of the data centre, it can be cached/proxied etc and has a bunch of other benefits before you even get to things like security and auth. Also a lot of FW vendors are starting to drop PXE/TFTP support in standards due to various things like standards requirements from governments.
