Re: [U-Boot] FW: which protocol do I use to send S-record files when using the loads command ?

Hi Jef, 10) The system I work on is a bareboard embedded system using U-boot to start up. That is why we are trying to use S-record files for uploading new programs, and not the more efficient FTP used in Linux. So you do have a network interface on your board? Heck, why don;t you use TFTP

Hi Grant, Maybe you can implement a server on your hardware? What sort of server? It would be a tftp server of course but that is out of the question without a network hardware. Now that you mention it, I have implemented a tftp server for U-Boot. Nice job! We needed a way to recover

It is not exactly _parsing_ the record, but storing the decoded data to it's final destination, which usually includes flash programming cycles. Whenever some code takes a ASCII string (in my case an S-record), extracts fields from it, converts these to numeric values, then I call that
