tftp timeout

Hi,

It seems that it may be the boards ip address

How would I setup a static IP address with tftp?

Thanks

Hi,

I haven't used the  AM3517 EVM,

you may have to check if the MAC address of the AM3517 EVM is set in the U-Boot as shown here.

Before going to TFTP you may try if "ping" command works,(see this reference for OMAP35x EVM) .

There are few other posts in this forum like this which could help you to solve the issue.

Edit:

Regarding Static IP there is an appl note saying "Using Static IP Between Linux Host and DVEVM".

Hi

I'm using the AM3715 EVM

I can ping the remote host 

I need to use a router so I can't use a static  IP address.

I was trying to copy a file to the SD card with tftp, but it seems that tftp is used for booting from the remote host rather than transferring  individual files.

May be somebody else using AM3517 EVM would comment,

meanwhile can you post more details of the Log and also the printenv output.

I think that the firewall is unlocked as I am able to transfer files with tftp from Windows XP.

I didn't see "serverip" set when you did the printenv. When you tftp from a server you have to make sure the serverip u-boot variable is set to the ip address of your tftp server.
