DRA821U: BOOTP packet is not reached to A72

Part Number: DRA821U

Hi TI

A customer reported an issue regarding BOOTP packet which is not transferred to A72 core.

The issue is that the BOOTP packet does not go up to the A72 core when IP is allocated from the DHCP server on the Switch Port.

In EVM, packets related to BOOTP (IP4) are not forwarded to the CPU from packets caught by wireshark on both EVM and pc.

Please refer to the following for the logs captured by tcpdump and wireshark.

# The maximum number of leases (includes addresses reserved

# if it’s bigger than IP lease block, but it ok to make it
# smaller than lease block.

# The remainder of options are DHCP options and can be specified with the
