[U-Boot] [Feature] Android Fastboot over Ethernet

[Stanislas BERTRAND]

Has there been any development to support Android Fastboot Ethernet feature in U-Boot ?

https://android.googlesource.com/platform/system/core/+/android-7.1.2_r36/fastboot/fastboot_protocol.txt


The target board has not USB device port available to flash the on-board eMMC.

Flashing the eMMC via U-Boot shell commands would be very much slower and limited.

I'm not aware of any such effort.

However, if you want to flash eMMC via ETH, then maybe you can look
into DFU TFTP feature.

Please read: ./doc/README.dfutftp

[U-Boot] [Feature] Android Fastboot over Ethernet

[Alex Deymo]

Hi all,

Android Things on rpi supports fastboot over udp since most rpis don't
expose a suitable USB port for fastboor over USB. It also uses the A/B
booting mechanism similar to Pixel phones.

The U-Boot code for the latest Android Things preview is in AOSP:
https://android.googlesource.com/platform/external/u-boot/+/android-o-mr1-iot-preview-7

In particular, the fastboot over UDP support was added by
https://android.googlesource.com/platform/external/u-boot/+/018e7c25c7c0260a6d021c84521eab808657c1a8
and subsequent commits. "git log android-o-mr1-iot-preview-7 --not v2017.07
--oneline --no-merges" should give you a cleaner list what was added on top
of 2017.07.

I believe most of those patches (or cleaned up versions) were shared in
this list at the time.

Best regards,
deymo.

I would say that I would be more than happy to see patches adding this
feature to u-boot's fastboot.

Weekend project... still WIP, but builds cleanly, just seeing what
Travis makes of it whilst I test it on a board:

Needs (quite a lot of) work still, but...

$ fastboot -s udp:192.168.0.103 getvar bootloader-version
bootloader-version: U-Boot 2018.05-rc2-00091-gdeb31e7
finished. total time: 0.000s
