Hi, I'm trying to run NetConsole, listen for incoming messages for 1 sec, and continue according to the message type. On the other side (PC) i'm sending a broadcast message on port 6666 every 250 ms. What i see is a very unstable behaviour
Whiich exact version of U-Boot are you running?
Which architecture / cpu / board is this?
Is nc working stable for you in interactive mode?
Are you for example able to copy & paste a long line (say, > 70 characters) as input, and is this read correctly by U-Boot?
Sometimes i get nothing, sometime only part of the message, and sometimes it fails to continue..
"It fails to continue" makes zero sense to me. What fails?
if((get_timer(0) - timeStart) > 5000)
Did you never wonder what the argument to get_timer() is used for?
Why not simply
if (get_timer(timeStart) > 5000)
?
Best regards,
Wolfgang Denk
