    Xavier,

    What I understood from your post is that you need to setup TFTP server on your Linux machine. Just follow this link to setup TFTP server. http://icesquare.com/wordpress/how-to-setup-tftp-on-ubuntu/

    Once you have the TFTP server running, you can use it the same way as Linux.

    Hi, Renjith

    I Have areadly  setted up the TFTP server, but i do not  kown, how to tell dm8168 evm board to load u-boot.bin file throw the  net,

    On windws system using the tftp32d, i can set the boot file in it's configure params, to tell dm8168 load this u-boot.bin to boot,

    But in linux i do not how to do this ,i just set the share file folder, and it can not  load u-boot.bin auto.

    service tftp {   

    protocol = udp   

    port = 69   

    socket_type = dgram   

    wait = yes   

    user = nobody   

    server = /usr/sbin/in.tftpd   

    server_args = var/lib/tftpboot -s   

    disable = no

     }

    as dm8168 can boot from net ,i think this also can be done in ubuntu 10.4,

    how to let the evm board kown which file to load then?

    Hi Pavel,

    Thank you for your relay!

    Actually i just want to kown that how to set the following feilds in linux(ubuntu 10.4),

    to make DM8168 EVM board ROM code able to work. 

    ROM code needs these fields in BOOTP reply to be able to work:

     • Client IP address • Tftp server IP (called "next-server")

    • Boot file name In addition, we need these additional optional fields if the TFTP server is in a different subnet:

     • subnet mask (option number 1)

     • router (option number 3) The DHCP server should be configured to correctly supply these parameters to all devices.

     

    in dhcp conf file ? or some where else to make ROM work on PC with Linux system thank you!

    Hello, Xavier

    Please also refer to section 25.8.4 Ethernet Boot Procedure of the DM816x TRM.

    You should set these using the graphical interface of the desktop utility tool that supports the BOOTP protocol. This tool could vary, depending on your host system and your personal choice. If it is still not working, write again. Thank you.
