Few clarification in flashing the SDK .
Few clarification on using the available SDK
Im using the vmware version Ubuntu -18.04
SDK version: Processor SDK Linux for J721e08_00_00
1. Is it necessary to have the SDcard, if we are going to use the TFTP and NFS?
2. We are using JacintoJ721EXCP01, there are multiple kernel images which one need to select?
Available kernel images in /tftproot:
Image-j7-evm.bin
k3-j721e-common-proc-board.dtb
k3-j721e-common-proc-board-infotainment.dtbo
k3-j721e-eaik-csi2-ov5640.dtbo
k3-j721e-eaik.dtb
k3-j721e-eaik-rpi-cam-imx219.dtbo
k3-j721e-edgeai-apps.dtbo
k3-j721e-proc-board-tps65917.dtb
k3-j721e-vision-apps.dtbo
ti-fs-firmware-j721e-gp.bin
ti-fs-firmware-j721e-hs-cert.bin
ti-fs-firmware-j721e-hs-enc.bin
3. my vmware is connected with different ethernets. Board will use which IP in TFTP download? does the board has any fixed ip?
Wanted to check check the network connection between the board and vmware. To ensure the company firewall is not blocking the communication?

This step will set up the u-boot variables for booting the EVM.

Autodetected the following ip address of your host, correct it if necessary
[ 10.221.30.85
192.168.1.111
10.214.55.2 ]
=================================================================================================
4. Nothing appears after the kernel image selection. Noticing the empty minicom page. Whether we need to make any change in the minicom setup.?
Would you like to create a minicom script with the above parameters (y/n)?

Detecting connection to board... /dev/ttyUSB0
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Would you like to run the setup script now (y/n)?
Please connect the ethernet cable as described in the Quick Start Guide.
Once answering 'y' on the prompt below, you will have 300 seconds to connect
the board and power cycle it before the setup times out
After successfully executing this script, your EVM will be set up. You will be
able to connect to it by executing 'minicom -w' or if you prefer a windows host
you can set up Tera Term as explained in the Software Developer's Guide.
If you connect minicom or Tera Term and power cycle the board Linux will boot.
