[OMAP-L138 Linux] How do you transfer file remotely from the Linux console

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: OMAP-L138, OMAPL138

We are using the OMAP-L138 as a networked device and would like to know if we use the latest PSP's target filesystem if it has support for remote file transfer from another network device.


I was thinking something similar to SCP but I cannot find any application that provides this feature. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

  • I think our file systems include at least tftp in most cases.

    However as we base on Arago and that is based on Angstroem/OpenEmbedded you can always download binaries from Angstroem. There you should be able to find additional applications providing secure file transfers (e.g. dropbear, openssh).

    Regards.

  • Thanks Frank.

    However, when I tried to use the tftp command it returned tftp:timeout

    Here's how i used it: tftp -gr uImage 192.168.1.112

    The 192.168.1.112 is my tftpserver which contains the kernel image (uImage) that I load when I use tftpboot from u-boot.

    I can get it to work via u-boot but not when I am in the console of the root filesystem.

     

  • u-boot and kernel Ethernet config may be different. Run an 'ifconfig' and see if you have a valid IP address in the 192.168.1 range on that adapter. Or try pings from both sides and see if you have a connection. If yes, then tftp should work.

    Regards.

     

  • I tried that command with my tftp server IP and it works on my OMAPL138 EVM. It is running the stock kernel (Linux arago 2.6.33-rc4). You may want to try using the PSP kernel in the latest SDK at http://software-dl.ti.com/dsps/dsps_public_sw/sdo_sb/targetcontent/dvsdk/DVSDK_4_00/latest/index_FDS.html
