[U-Boot] Adding a new file transfer protocol to Uboot
hi all,
i'm very new to uboot.i would like to add new file transfer protocol like tftp. Server sends the file as chunks and uboot has to receive and reconstruct it.for that in uboot can i add the new protocol in /net folder or is there any folder in uboot which can hold it?Is adding new protocol will come to gpl?

Anything you wish to submit will be considered. If your protocol has advantages over the existing TFTP and NFS implementations, please explain what's better. Of course, the protocol needs to be completely open and documented on both client and server sides. You must provide a CONFIG option so that users opt in to using the protocol, and doesn't add to image size if they don't. You are correct that /net is the correct place.

All contributions are welcome, if they perform a useful purpose and don't hurt users that are not interested in such a feature.
Which exact protocl to you want to implement, and what is it's advantage over the existing ones (TFTP and NFS) ?
