I don't know that any documentation exists that is worth
referring to at this point.  :(

I assume that this is such a simple mapping that the
code in cpukit/libnetworking/lib/tftpDriver.c that provides
the illusion of a filesystem which is really a TFTP client
might be the best starting point.  I think that you are
just mapping the RTEMS file descriptor into a direct
call to uMon with its handle.

This setup would make the TFS a mountable filesystem
and then you would read and write it through the hooks.

I think once you get your hands around the RTEMS filesystem
entry points, it will be a piece of cake.

:) If you ever want to submit that BSP, it is welcomed.

I'll let someone else bite on that. :)
