Hi Alan - I've included a copy of my 'printenv' output below. Hopefully it'll help. There may be some 'junk' in there from experimentation - so don't copy every single env var that I set.
Looking at your printenv output, I'd suggest using "/tftpboot/uImage" for your "bootfile" (instead of just "uImage") - some TFTP servers require the full path name. Also, as I mentioned in another message, I'd suggest using "tftpboot;bootm" instead of "dhcp;bootm" for your "bootcmd" (unless your DHCP server is the same as your TFTP server). If you do this, you'll need to use a 'static' IP address for your DVEVM (by setting your "ipaddr" env var). I hope this helps. - Paul bootdelay=3 baudrate=115200 serverip=10.32.31.97 nfshost=10.32.31.97 ipaddr=10.100.5.43 videoformat=composite bootfile=/tftpboot/uImage rootpath=/mnt/davinci-root-filesys bootcmd=tftpboot;bootm stdin=serial stdout=serial stderr=serial ethaddr=00:0e:99:02:53:8c videostd=ntsc bootargs=console=ttyS0,115200n8 noinitrd rw ip=dhcp root=/dev/nfs nfsroot=10.32.31.97:/mnt/davinci-root-filesys,nolock mem=120M -----Original Message----- From: Alan Li [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, September 27, 2006 9:06 PM To: Paul Bartholomew; Maughan, Thomas; [email protected] Subject: how to do TFTP booting Hi, Following the instruction given in Startup guide (sprue66a.pdf), A.5.4 Booting via TFTP Using NFS File System, it always comes out with error, DaVinci EVM # boot BOOTP broadcast 1 BOOTP broadcast 2 ..... BOOTP broadcast 10 Retry count exceeded; starting again Here is what my env setting is: bootdelay=3 baudrate=115200 root=path /home/alanli/workdir/filesys stdin=serial stdout=serial stderr=serial ethaddr=00:0e:99:02:53:3a videostd=ntsc serverip=192.168.1.5 rootpath=/home/alanli/workdir/filesys nfshost=192.168.1.5 bootargs=console=ttyS0,115200n8 noinitrd rw ip=dhcp root=/dev/nfs nfsroot=192.168.1.5:/home/alanli/workdir/filesys,nolock mem=120M bootcmd=dhcp;bootm bootfile=uImage And the DVEVM and Host PC are connected via a router which has DHCP server. It seems like the command, dhcp, is stuck somewhere with those message. I don't have any idea what is going on. any help is apreciated. alan _______________________________________________ Davinci-linux-open-source mailing list [email protected] http://linux.davincidsp.com/mailman/listinfo/davinci-linux-open-source
