Static ip configuration for standalone booting on DVEVM6446



Hi Friends

I m using a DVEVM6446. I m using this following enviornment variable to boot from the hard disk

DaVinci EVM # setenv bootcmd bootm 0x2050000

DaVinci EVM # setenv bootargs mem=120M console=ttyS0,115200n8 root=/dev/hda1 rw noinitrd ip=192.168.2.7

As DHCP is not configured on my pc , I m using Static IP .  But during the booting process the static ip is not being set for the board and still its sending DHCP requests.

Although using the following enviormnent variable , I m able to boot via TFTP using NFS file system and I m able to set the atatic ip for the board also

DaVinci EVM # setenv bootcmd ‘tftp 0x80700000 uImage;bootm 0x80700000

DaVinci EVM # setenv bootargs console=ttyS0,115200n8 noinitrd rw ip=192.168.2.7 root=/dev/nfs    

                             nfsroot=192.168.2.2:/home/testuser1/workdir/filesys,nolock mem=120M

 

Please help me to resolve the issue

    You can turn off CONFIG_IP_PNP in kernel configuration if you are not interested in DHCP at all. You can also use 'ip=off' in the bootargs. For complete documentation of kernel parameters, please see Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt within the kernel sources.

    Thanks,
