Hi,

The very first stage is that you need to bringup the u-boot from any one of the booting mode and do the following for loading kernel and filesystem from host network(linux).

How can we load Kernel and file system image on NAND Flash using Ethernet cable for AM1808 processor ?

We can load the kernel at u-boot shell, do the following command,

Put the kernel image (uImage) to "/tftpboot" directory.

u-boot# setenv ipaddr 10.10.10.1

u-boot# setenv serverip 10.10.10.2 (host machine IP)

u-boot# tftpboot uImage

We can mount the filesystem through NFS

Note:

1) Loading kernel image from host machine WIndows is possible.

2) Mounting filesystem through network should be use Linux host system.

Thanks once again Stalin for your reply,but I find this method difficult.

which is the simplest method to load kernel image and file system on the AM1808 processor after i load uboot on ARM ?

Hi,

It is very easy method once you setup everything in linux host machine,

Have you brought up the u-boot on custom board?

If yes, Definitely I will guide you Step by Step and you can learn from TI wikis also.
