Hi Kirk, Thanks for the 8xxrom. I was not able to check my mail and so did not know that you sent me the code.
You put the code for tftp in the rom code. I am looking at the RedHat embedded developement kit and the way they work with the MBX board is that they use a DHCP service to actually actually assign the target an IP number using its ethernet address. The ethernet address is already set by EPPCBug. I dont think that is the case with the 8xxrom. The MBX debugger, EPCbug uses the NIOT command to get the ethernet address. Is there some way we can set the ethernet address in the 8xxrom for the FADS board? The MBX then uses tftpboot to boot the board through a network. Any way to simulate this on the FADS? -----Original Message----- From: Kirk Haderlie [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, June 20, 2000 7:13 PM To: 'Navin Boppuri' Subject: RE: Loading the kernel on the FADS 823 board Navin, Using the 8xxrom I sent, you can set up a tftp server on a linux box and load the kernel via tftp. It require you to customize the tftpconfig.h for your enviroment. You need to specify the MAC address and IP for both the server and the FADS board. If you have question just let me know. -----Original Message----- From: Navin Boppuri [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, June 20, 2000 5:00 AM To: linuxppc-embedded at lists.linuxppc.org Subject: Loading the kernel on the FADS 823 board I am total newbie to embedded systems. I just got the 8xxrom working on my FADS 823 board. It boots up and fine and I see a prompt. Can someone tell me how do I load the kernel onto the board. How can I get the ethernet connection up and make it work like the MBX board? The basic question is, what and how do I go to the next step? ** Sent via the linuxppc-embedded mail list.
