Bootloader with TCPnet

Hi

I have to develop an ethernet bootloader for Freescales Kinetis K60.
I found an example on freescale.com using FNET stack, but I would prefer to use TCPnet as in my application.
Has someone any experiences with TCPnet and bootloader?

  • Its friggin large for a bootloader (maybe its can be reduced significantly by configuration...?). If ROM is a problem, you better use something open source like uIP which has a minimal footprint (fully adjustable). If assume you only need to receive a lot of data, not the other way around so uIP is enough. On the other hand, TCPNet does not send much faster...If you want the best of both worlds go lwIP. It's a friggin animal. Unbelivable machine.
