Hi all,
I'm using DVEVM that does not contain preloaded demo, and without DVSDK DVDS. I downloaded all the stuff from the web.
I started following a step by step the GSG using Redhat 4 as a host on VMWare workstation.
I installed all the software as GSG states and did every thing from stopping the firewall ,exporting the file system running NFS ,checking TFTP server and setting the appropriate environment variables on the U-boot. The environment variables looks like this
bootdelay=3
baudrate=115200
rootpath=/home/joe/workdir/filesys
barg1=console=ttyS0,115200n8
barg2=noinitrd
rw ip=dhcp root=/dev/nfs
barg4=mem=120M
ipaddr=dhcp
nfshost=192.168.50.3
barg3=nfsroot=192.168.50.3:/home/joe/workdir/filesys
bootargs=console=ttyS0,115200n8
noinitrd rw ip=dhcp root=/dev/nfs
nfsroot=192.168.50.3:/home/joe/workdir/filesys mem=120M
serverip=192.168.50.3
stdin=serial
stdout=serial
stderr=serial
ethaddr=00:0e:99:02:41:af
videostd=pal
bootcmd=dhcp;bootm
bootfile=uImage
I tried to boot first from flash using NFS file system on host but I received a message
Unkbown command nboot
booting image at 807000000
Bad magic number
So after checking this problem in the previous posts I recognized that the U-boot version differs from DVSDK version or there is a problem in the bootloader on the flash.
After that I decided to boot from TFTP using NFS but I got this message when I boot using the previous environment variables
DaVinci EVM # boot

BOOTP broadcast 4
BOOTP broadcast 5

broadcast 6
BOOTP broadcast 7
BOOTP broadcast 8
BOOTP broadcast

BOOTP broadcast 10
Retry count exceeded; starting again
I thing that the problem is in the place of the uImage. I know that it should be in the /tftpboot directory, but unfortunately, I can't find the desired directory and I don't know where I should create it. Also I can't find a file named uImage.
Actually, I got sick from trying again and again, reading posts and reinstalling files ...
I'll appreciate any help.
