Dear Denk, Q1:
Both 5.9.5.1 ( http://www.denx.de/wiki/view/DULG/UBootCmdGroupDownload#Section_5.9.5.1. ) and 5.9.5.6 ( http://www.denx.de/wiki/view/DULG/UBootCmdGroupDownload#Section_5.9.5.6. ) talk about booting image via network, but there are only few lines of description about these commands. I don't know which one I should use, tftpboot or bootp? And, for each one, what's the requirement on server side? I've done works described in 4.6, 4.7, 4.8 to setup the server, but I don't sure which one ( tftp, dhcp, nfs ) will really be used. Q2: in 9.6.3 ( Root File System on a cramfs File System ), the manual taught how to make a root filesystem image (cramfs), but in the installation ISO, i dont find necessary files rootfs.tar.gz and devices.tar.gz mentioned in the instructions. Where should I get them? On the other hand, after installed the eldk, I've already got a root filesystem in /installation/path/arm, so i think it will be very good building a root filesystem image from this directory, but in the manual, I dont find instructios telling me how. Thank you very much. On Tue, May 13, 2008 at 2:29 AM, Wolfgang Denk <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > In message <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> you wrote: >> >> The manual is not so clear.
