Getting the "Hello world" example on the A8 running

I have installed VM Virtual box and the SDK on my pc and have compiled the example "Hello world" for the a8.  Now I want to boot the Linux file system from my development host as outlined in the EZ software developer's guide.  I changed the environmental variables  as so:

setenv autoload no

setenv bootfile uImage

setenv ipaddr 10.0.x.x (address from ifconfig command result shors inet addr:)

Then I boot up (Type "boot" from serial console window). 

After that I was expecting to be able to see the executable that I moved to the VirtualBox directory targetfs/home/root/dm816x in the directory /home/root/dm816x of the EVM

but I do not.  see it there.  Did I miss something else I need to do?  Is there a quick way to exchange files between the systems.  Ftp and sftp do not work.

  • Following is my configure commands, and it can work correctly. 

    setenv ipaddr 192.168.9.180

    setenv serverip 192.168.1.253

    setenv gatewayip 192.168.1.1

    setenv bootcmd 'tftpboot 0x81000000 uImage_dvr;bootm 0x81000000';

    setenv bootargs 'mem=128M console=ttyO2,115200n8 root=/dev/nfs rw rootfstype=jffs2 nfsroot=192.168.1.253:/home/dvrsdk/target/rfs ip=192.168.9.180:192.168.1.253:192.168.1.1:255.255.0.0::eth0:off varm=20M'

    boot
