Now check who is rude and insulting.

U-Boot is a boot loader, and as such it provides a certain  level  of
functionality.  Its  features  are  therefore  limited (but still far
better than available in most other boot loaders). But  we  definitly
don't  want  to  grow it into an operating system. There are certaing
things like full network stack with  authentication,  encryption  and
who  knows  what  else that simply have no place in a boot loader. If
you need something like that (and your requirements say so), then use
the appropriate tool, i. e. use an OS.


Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk
