If you're really stuck, ask again.
I've tried to run "help dhcp", it printed out "dhcp". Nothing else I could see. I've searched Internet to try to find a format of CONFIG_CMD_DHCP. Yes, I am very much stuck at the moment. Could you please point me a reference manual for DHCP boot set up as well relavent to following issues? What I can think of there may be two issues need to be clarified: (1) How to set following parameters: #define CONFIG_BOOTARGS "..... ip=dhcp?? ..." #define CONFIG_BOOTCOMMAND "setenv ipaddr dhcp ???..." #define CONFIG_CMD_DHCP "dhcp ???" (2) How to set DHCP for /tftpboot in /etc/exports? All above set up are specific IP addresses currently (CONFIG_CMD_DHCP is not set yet), I have no idea how the specific IP addresses can be replaced by DHCP? BTW, I am running uboot on ARM 9 processor, booting from flash. Thank you.
