  • Hi Jheel Shah,

    The investigation of the issue needs more information.

    The server IP address 0.0.0.0 seems suspicious. Therefore I suggest you to make a network capture of the whole ethernet communication between the PC (server) and your board. You should install on the PC ethernet capturing program - Wireshark for example if there is not installed. Then attach the capture file to analyze it.

    Also could you share bootm command parameters which you are using?
