Hi Denk, Thanks for your suggestion. My requirement is before Linux boots up i should be able to use wget from the U-boot. This requirement is to implement FAIL-SAFE condition in the u-boot itself. Because we are going to update Linux related frirmware in the field except u-boot. Suppose if power goes off while copying to FLASH then we can't make the device up and running. To avoid this problem we have planned to implement wget, so that u-boot itself can pick the firmeware from our support site and program the device.
In this context i requested miling users to shoot some inputs.
Thanks, Nagi

Correct. Well, the file system could be avoided by just storing the loaded file at a given memory address, but in any case you need a more or less complete TCP/IP stsck, while U-Boot has only a minimal implementation of UDB.
Can anyone through some inputs on this.
The task makes no sense. If you want to use wget, then just boot up Linux.
Best regards,
Wolfgang Denk
