[U-Boot] U-Boot and FTP server

[Piotr Piwko]

Hello,

Is there any possibility to download a system image from external FTP
server? As I know, U-boot only supports the access to TFTP local
server, but time to time it would be very useful for me if I can
download the image through external FTP server.

Thanks in advance for your engagement,

No, there is not, at least at the moment...

There is no TCP stack in u-boot, only udp, and for this reason you can
use (or port, if it is not yet available) applications based on UDP
only, as tftp.
