[U-Boot] [PATCH v3 1/2] net: introduce packet capture support

Ramon Fried rfried.dev at gmail.com
Sat Jun 22 18:49:49 UTC 2019


Add support for capturing ethernet packets and storing
them in memory in PCAP(2.4) format, later to be analyzed by
any PCAP viewer software (IE. Wireshark)

This feature greatly assist debugging network issues such
as detecting dropped packets, packet corruption etc.

v2: Fix type assignmnet to header.ts_sec
v3: Several suggestion changes by Bin and Alex:
   * Change to implementation to command based.
   * Added counters for incoming/outgoing packets.
   * Support clearing the capture for multiple captures.
   * Added documentation (separate patch).
