I have tryed to integrate picotcp tftp support into barebox.
Latest picotcp development branch commit is
commit 0a3b361848efe20259cb3ca5e79d73a95d8f476c

Added link status call to the device driver interface
IMHO the tftp interface introduced in this picotcp development branch
can't be easely integrated into barebox tftp filesystem support code.
I'll illustrate this on sample barebox tftp file download session:
barebox user setup network parameters and run 'tftp <filename>' command;
the tftp commands mounts tftp-server rootdir to barebox "/.tftp_tmp_path";
and start file copy operation (/.tftp_tmp_path/<filename> -> /<filename>).
copy operation consists of standard calls (very schematically):
srcfd = open(<source file>, O_RDONLY);
...
dstfd = open(<destination file>, O_WRONLY | O_CREAT | O_TRUNC);
...
stat(srcfd, ...); /* just determine source file size if possible */
...
while (r = read(srcfd, buffer, 4096)) {
write(dstfd, buffer, r);
...
}
so reading data block from tftp-server is made by initiative of barebox command.
The barebox tftp support code realize all standard calls (open, stat, read, write ...).
But let's examine picotcp tftp API. Picotcp tftp downloading file code consist of
priv->session = pico_tftp_session_setup(&tpriv->server_ip4, PICO_PROTO_IPV4);
...
pico_tftp_start_rx(priv->session, short_be(PICO_TFTP_PORT), filename, cb_tftp_rx_opt, priv);
But pico_tftp_start_rx() tries to download WHOLE FILE from tftp-server.
I see no means to suspend data transfer initiated by pico_tftp_start_rx(),
so I have no means to realize necessary read() and write() calls.
Sascha! Please comment this message.
