Recommend posting your u-boot variables - capture printenv output and
provide in post plus some indications on your setup (example: EVM
connected to router which is connected to PC running DHCP server).

Thom

Subject: Uboot

Hi Folks,

I have uboot 1.1.3 running on a custom Davinci.

It doesn't appear to want to ping a host nor can we do a tftp transfer.

These functions do work from the linux kernel though. 

I have seen other info about uboot not getting past inbound ARP packets.
This seems to be what is happening to it.

Does anyone have any ideas on what we may be able to fix here?

Thanks

Andrew,

Have you looked at buildroot.uclibc.org?   It's a collection of
makefiles and support scripts that enable building up a filesystem -
likely a more efficient solution to get to a minimal system than pruning
down a huge filesystem.

Hi Diego,

My Kernel had relaxed now and is having a nice cup of tea.

I have chopped a whole bunch off the filesys dir and got it down to
around 45mb including video encoding stuff etc..

I do believe that your approach is better and the bottom-up will provide
a more efficient filesystem than my top-down chop and change!

I am trying to get into the mood of deleting the filesystem and starting
from scratch like you advise. I have never had to do it before so am not
looking forward to it!!

Regards,

Andrew
