I am using TMS320DM6467 DVEVM v1.40. I have problem in booting via TFTP
using NFS File System.

Here are my environment variables:

bootdelay=3
baudrate=115200
stdin=serial
stdout=serial
stderr=serial
ethaddr=00:0e:99:02:b3:a9
bootcmd=dhcp;bootm
serverip=10.206.153.230
rootpath=/home/<useracct>/work/workdir/filesys
nfshost=10.206.153.230
bootargs=console=ttyS0,115200n8 noinitrd rw ip=dhcp root=/dev/nfs
nfsroot=10.206.153.230:/home/<useracct>/work/workdir/filesys,nolock mem=120M
davincihd_capture.channel0_numbuffers=4
bootfile=uImage

Here is what gets displayed:

BOOTP broadcast 1
*** Unhandled DHCP Option in OFFER/ACK: 44
*** Unhandled DHCP Option in OFFER/ACK: 46
*** Unhandled DHCP Option in OFFER/ACK: 44
*** Unhandled DHCP Option in OFFER/ACK: 46
DHCP client bound to address 10.206.153.237
TFTP from server 129.219.110.130; our IP address is 10.206.153.237; sending
through gateway 10.206.152.1
Filename 'uImage'.
Load address: 0x80700000
Loading: T T

And then it tries, exceeds the limit, tries again and this thing goes for
ever.


I have copied my uImage in /var/lib/tftpboot.

And here is the /etc/xinetd.d/tftp file:

service tftp
{
        disable = no
        socket_type             = dgram
        protocol                = udp
        wait                    = yes
        user                    = root
        server                  = /usr/sbin/in.tftpd
        server_args             = -s /var/lib/tftpboot
        per_source              = 11
        cps                     = 100 2
        flags                   = IPv4
}

I have few things to make clear:

(1) What should I specify as the bootfile?
- It should be just 'uImage' or the complete path where the image is stored,
i.e. /var/lib/tftpboot/uImage

(2) What will be the TFTP server's IP address?
- I specify it as my host PC IP address. Also, when I give the boot command
it says TFTP from server 129.219.110.130, I don't know from where it gets
this IP address.

(3) When I am compiling the kernel using make ARCH=arm
CROSS_COMPILE=arm_v5t_le- uImage I am getting the following output:

CHK     include/linux/version.h
  SPLIT   include/linux/autoconf.h -> include/config/*
  SYMLINK include/asm-arm/arch -> include/asm-arm/arch-davinci
make[1]: `arch/arm/kernel/asm-offsets.s' is up to date.
make[1]: `include/asm-arm/mach-types.h' is up to date.
  CHK     include/linux/compile.h
  CHK     usr/initramfs_list
  Kernel: arch/arm/boot/Image is ready
  Kernel: arch/arm/boot/zImage is ready
  UIMAGE  arch/arm/boot/uImage
"mkimage" command not found - U-Boot images will not be built
  Image arch/arm/boot/uImage is ready

So, it creates uImage but says U-Boot images won't be built. Is this is a
problem?

Also, I am making sure that TFTP and NFS services are enabled in my PC.
I am following the 'Getting started guide' provided with the DM 6467 EVM.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Abhishek
