Hi,
Has anyone considered using the rsync algorithm for loading programs on embedded platforms? I.e. with low cpu power (say, 16-25 MHz ARM7) and low memory requirements (programs are < 128 KB, and the rsync algorithm must use little ROM and RAM). Or is it just not worth the effort?
I guess you'd want to at least modify the checksum calculations and use shorter and faster checksums (as the data to be transferred is smaller than on workstations), and you'd need that file overwrite patch that's been floating around.
Regards,
Greger
