Hi Mirek,

TCP is not supported presently, and not very likely in the future.  TCP 
takes a *lot* more effort than UDP and is not currently supported by u-boot.

It is possible to add TCP support to u-boot (when you have the source, 
nearly anything is possible), but it is very unlikely due to the level 
of complexity -- the benefit vs. effort ratio is very poor.

Best regards,
