How to load new kernel over TFTP?

liangxiao zhang

Hi,

I'm looking for the method to load new kernel over TFTP(then write to NandFlash), but there is NO answer in all the ***_guide.pdf I found.

Pls let me know where I can find the detailed steps, or just tell me all the steps in your REPLY.

Any answer would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Once u-boot is up and tftp is running then you can follow wiki. They are u-boot commands, need not to worry about platform.

Hi,

If you download ezsdk for DM816x, you can find a script inside
EZSDK_5_03/bin/setup-nand-images.sh (Which will flash images to nand)
http://software-dl.ti.com/dsps/dsps_public_sw/ezsdk/latest/index_FDS.html

Use 0x81000000 Memory address for loading the images
kernel_offset=0x00280000

Thanks!!
