U-Boot support of LWIP is not ready for a moment, but we already have some kind of tcp support. Unfrotunately this support is really bad.
Some of the known issues: * tcp packet from other connection can break a current one * tcp send sequence always starts from zero * bad tcp options processing * strange assumptions on packet size for selectiv acknowledge * tcp interface assumes one of the two scenarios: - data downloading from remote host to a board - request-response exchange with a small packets so it's not possible to upload large amount of data from the board to remote host. * wget generate bad tcp stream, test should fail but it passes instead
This series of patches fixes all of the above issuess.
The benefits: * A lot of bug was fixed * Better and more reliable TCP state machine * Tcp cliens becomes smaller/simpler * Data uploading was fixed (now it's possible to transmit a huge amount of data from the board to remote host) * Netcat over tcp was implemented. Netcat supports data downloading/uploading from/to remote host in client/server mode. * An example web-server implementation. This code can be used as a base for web-based firmware uploading used by some vendors.
Modification was verified with * firmware downloading via u-boot wget command * fastboot over tcp * netcat linux client * Firefox/Chrome/Edge using example web-server implementation
Changes v2: * cover letter was added * some patches were removed
Changes v3: * better cover letter
Changes v4: * fix bug in debug output * add more comments * codestyle fixes
Changes v5: * old patches were ocasionally sent with v4 * add back web-server patches * fix bug in debug output * add more comments * codestyle fixes
Changes v6: * fix the wget test * improve description of "simplify tcp header filling code" patch
