Re: [U-Boot] [PATCH] tools/netconsole: make a bit more robust and use ncb when possible

Dear Mike Frysinger,

In message 200901211539.26445.vapier@gentoo.org you wrote:

...

• When would "ncb" not be available?

ncb is specific to u-boot: tools/ncb.c. most people will not bother to compile it as they'll just run the netconsole script. it certainly isnt compiled by default or integrated into the build system.

...

• What else are the implications when using ncb versus netcat?

ncb is looser with receiving udp packets so it works with broadcast packets.

This sounds like arguments for NOT applying your patch which depends on ncb, or am I missing something?

Best regards,
