[U-Boot] U-BOOT TFTP

[simran gill]

Hello,I am running Linux 2.6.34.6 on p4080ds board. I am trying to get the interfaces running on the kernel but it does not seem to be working. So far I am able to set up the ipaddress etc for the interface "fm1-gb1" but still cannot ping the outside world. I edited the file /etc/rc.d/rc.conf with no luck. My configuration is as follows:
address at hidden rc.d]# vi rc.conf

export HOSTNAME="p4080"                                                         
export NTP_SERVER=""

[U-Boot] U-BOOT TFTP

[simran gill]

Hello all,
I really appreciate all of your replies and sorry for not being responsive for sometime. But I am glad to say that I was able to flash new u-boot along with fman ucode and rcw. I am using p4080DS dev board from freescale and the rcw is important in terms of which ports to be enabled upon boot. I ran into all of these problems because the ltib version I was using was not compatible with my version of the board. Wish I knew this earlier but there was no way for me to find this out. Neways all is up and running and thanks once again for providing all the help. 
Sincerely,Simran

Hello simran



The things u have to do is check your network connectivity between board
 and target .If it is not working after that, make a clean  u-boot 
compilation again with basic configuration(no confusing)  of your board 
header file and port again.

Hi simran,

you should really provide us with more data to give us even a remote
chance of helping you.  What board do you use, what CPU is it, what
U-Boot version do you use?  Are you doing a custom U-Boot port or
"simply use a well-supported U-Boot configuration from mainline"?

To be honest, I do not understand what a RCW has got to do with a tftp
transfer.

Where do all those empty lines in the log come from?  Are you sure that
the setting for ethact is correct?  Do you really have 8 network devices
but only 4 mac addresses assigned to them?  I.e. usually we have
"ethaddr", "eth1addr", etc. for the network interfaces - I've never seen
such a combinmation as in your logs.

Do you have the variable "netmask" setup correctly?

In short, it seems like there is a lot of confusion in your setup.  Does
U-Boot work for you at all or is the network failure only "one of the
problems"?

Cheers

Sorry about my last post. I am new and need some help.
Hello,I am developing on freescale P4080DS	BOARD. I am trying to put new kernel image onto the board but need a tftp connection. When I type "tftp 1000000 /tftpboot/uImage" nothing happens and the new prompt appears. I was able to tftp before and upgrade but seems like one of the changes has broken it. I have set the target and host ip address accordingly. Below is the printenv on bank 0. Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you.
