Dear Ram!

Yes, this can be done. The client just has to generate commands for the
U-Boot command line. Unfortunately this means that the client also must
have access to the serial console port.

If you only want a network connection between client und target, you
either have to use netnonsole (doc/README.NetConsole) or write your own
application. Probably you would like to use U-Boot's netconsole code
as a reference implementation.

Keep in mind that U-Boot is not a multi-tasking OS so it is not possible
to let such a test server run in the backgroud. U-Boot doesn't use
interrupts (on most platforms).

With best regards
