Ethernet bootloader parameters

If I want to work with C6472 in ethernet bootmode (without I2C), what do that parameters (CFGGP) need to be?

The documentation says device ID, but I don't really understand the ID of what device...

    Arya,

     

    These fields are used only to populate a field in the bootp-like ERA packet that is sent when the device is ready to boot. There is a string (in the filename field of the bootp packet) that is included in this outgoing packet which looks like this: “ti-boot-table-XXXX”. When booting based on pin strapped values, the field XXXX will become 000Y, where Y is the value on these pins. If there are 4 pins the value can be 0-F. So if you have these pins set to 0b0101 the string will be “ti-boot-table-0005”.  It can be used to identify which device just sent the packet, or a way for a boot image server to know which image it should send.

    Regards,

    Travis
