[U-Boot] [PATCH v4 1/3] net: introduce packet capture support

Ramon Fried rfried.dev at gmail.com
Thu Jul 18 18:43:30 UTC 2019


Add support for capturing ethernet packets and storing
them in memory in PCAP(2.4) format, later to be analyzed by
any PCAP viewer software (IE. Wireshark)

This feature greatly assist debugging network issues such
as detecting dropped packets, packet corruption etc.

Changes in v4:
* Move implementation to pcap.c/pcap.h
* Display error message when memory is exhausted.
* Populate $pcapsize environment variable with actual capture
  size.
* move outgoing pcap_post to eth_send()

Changes in v3:
* Change to implementation to command based.
* Added counters for incoming/outgoing packets.
* Support clearing the capture for multiple captures.
* Added documentation (separate patch).

Changes in v2:
Fix type assignmnet to header.ts_sec
