You don't need to download a kernel. Just download a small file (say
10KB) that you generate in your test. You might find test_vboot.py and
test_net.py helpful. Something like:

- start an http server on localhost (in Python)
- put a single file in the server that can be read (generate 10KB of
known data?)
- run U-Boot with the commands to wget from that server
- check that U-Boot gets the expected file

Simon
