[U-Boot-Users] TFTP boot in u-boot

[ganapathi]

Hi,
Your way of loading is wrong.

You have to follow the below procedure
1. download the elf image into memory some where, say example
    tftpboot 0x800000 linux.dxe
    (consider the memory space availability and use the address according to
that.)

2. use the "bootelf" command to load the ELF image.
    bootelf 0x800000

Regards
Ganapathi C
