Hi Jef,
- The system I work on is a bareboard embedded system using U-boot
to start up. That is why we are trying to use S-record files for uploading new programs, and not the more efficient FTP used in Linux.
So you do have a network interface on your board? Heck, why don;t you use TFTP then???
I didn't say that. I was trying to say that our bareboard system doesn't support Ethernet and does not have TCP/IP stack (like Linux). If our system was a Linux system, we wouldn't be having this conversation.
We use tftp in U-Boot exactly because we also do not have a TCP/IP stack :)
tftp needs only udp is thus "not too complex" to implement on bare ethernet. Maybe you can implement a server on your hardware?
Just a thought...
Cheers Detlev
