[U-Boot-Users] U-boot Port issue on MPC8280 board

[Muhammad Sarwar]

As Wolf mentioned, this is the expected bahvior. 

U-boot can only initiate network requests. You can only ping/tftp etc FROM a target running U-boot. However U-boot is single threaded and does not run a TCP/IP stack to respond to any network requests (broadcast or unicast).

Hope it helps.

Hi all,

    The porting of U-boot 1.1.2 onto the Rattler MPC8280 board is done
but for the following problem:

   When I try to ping from Target (Rattler MPC8280), it says the host
(PC running TFTP server) is alive. But when the target (MPc8280) is
pinged from host, then it says "request timed out". 

I am using the ETHERNET_ON_FCC. Hope somebody can help me out of this
problem.

With Regards,
C.R.Srivatsan
