Whiich exact version of U-Boot are you running?

Which architecture / cpu / board is this?

Is nc working stable for you in interactive mode?

Are you for example able to copy & paste a long line (say, > 70
characters) as input, and is this read correctly by U-Boot?

"It fails to continue" makes zero sense to me. What fails?

Did you never wonder what the argument to get_timer() is used for?

Why not simply

	if (get_timer(timeStart) > 5000)

?

Best regards,
