Yes you need to connect the ethernet cable C6678 board to PC, C6678 board will send the BOOTP packet continuously to EMAC port and PC would assign the IP address and send/load the appropriate file to it.

Hi,Titus,

Thank you for your reply .

There is a document in the path of C:\ti\mcsdk_2_01_02_06\tools\boot_loader\examples\ethernet\docs,and in the README,there is a step :

Add an ARP entry for the DSP MAC address associating with an IP local to the host. For example if the host PC's IP is 192.168.1.1, then add an ARP entry with the DSP's MAC address associated with IP address 192.168.1.2.

How to add ARP entry and set IP address about C6678?Can you tell me the details of the steps about add ARP entry for C6678 MAC address and set IP address ?Should I change the code ?

Thank you .
