[U-Boot-Users] 'Need help to Port Wget to U-boot'

[nreddy at netenrich.com]

Hi Denk,
 Thanks for your suggestion.
  My requirement is before Linux boots up i should be able to use wget
from the U-boot.
 This requirement is to implement FAIL-SAFE condition in the u-boot itself.
 Because we are going to update Linux related frirmware in the field
except u-boot. Suppose if power goes off while copying to FLASH then we
can't make the device up and running.
 To avoid this problem we have planned to implement wget, so that u-boot
itself can pick the firmeware from our support site and program the
device.

 In this context i requested miling users to shoot some inputs.


Thanks,
Nagi
