[U-Boot-Users] testing hardware

[Ram]

Hi,
Thanks for your response.


I understand from you that we can download an image onto some location
and execute that image.

can that image (or executable) is using the serial/ethernet? and act
as a iterative server.

and once the end of all commands is sent will the u-boot get the control?.


Please advice,


Regards,
sriram
