Another nice thing if you work with (recent) ptxdist and with barebox: Barebox is not only able to load a kernel via tftp, but also via NFS. And ptxdist builds a userspace nfs server. So you can remote boot your target without having to install any infrastructure component (like a TFTP server) and without root access. That's especially nice if you have to deal with strange $BIG_COMPANY network setups :) rsc -- Pengutronix e.K. | | Industrial Linux Solutions | http://www.pengutronix.de/ | Peiner Str. 6-8, 31137 Hildesheim, Germany | Phone: +49-5121-206917-0 | Amtsgericht Hildesheim, HRA 2686 | Fax: +49-5121-206917-5555 | _______________________________________________ Celinux-dev mailing list Celinux-dev@lists.celinuxforum.org https://lists.celinuxforum.org/mailman/listinfo/celinux-dev
