Subject: [PATCH] scripts: kwboot: fix detection of timeout
Date: Tue, 11 Nov 2014 21:10:19 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1415736619-26447-1-git-send-email-uwe@kleine-koenig.org> (raw)

In function kwboot_xm_sendblock() the loop that implements retrying to
send a boot block might be quit if kwboot_tty_send or kwboot_tty_recv
return a failure. In this case the value of the variable c that is
expected to hold the response byte is uninitialized and most likely
still holds an ACK from the previous call to kwboot_xm_sendblock().

So the right thing to do is not to clobber rc if it's already != 0.

The result of this patch in my current scenario is that kwboot dies with

	xmodem: Connection timed out

when the SoC stops replying instead of continuing to try sending the
remaining blocks which results in select() blocking for one second for
each block.

Fixes: 0535713bbfa0 ("scripts: add kwboot tool")

I also tried to increase the timeout, but without success :-(. Will test
a different USB-to-RS232 adapter ...
