[U-Boot-Users] TFTP with U-Boot

[Midhun Agnihotram]

Hi All,

  I am still not able to do a tftp. I have checked and rechecked my
server settings according to the DULG manual.

**  I am using a Fedora Core 6 as my host. My /etc/xinetd.d/tftp is as below:

service tftp
{
        disable = no
        socket_type             = dgram
        protocol                = udp
        wait                    = yes
        user                    = root
        server                  = /usr/sbin/in.tftpd
        server_args             = -s /tftpboot
        per_source              = 11
        cps                     = 100 2
        flags                   = IPv4
}

** When I start xinetd :

# /etc/init.d/xinetd start
Starting xinetd:                                           [  OK  ]

** The netstat gives ;
# netstat -a | grep tftp
udp        0      0 *:tftp                      *:*

** The /etc/services file also contains the correct the port number too.

tftp            69/tcp
tftp            69/udp

** cAll seems to be fine. But still the tftp does not work.

** When I connect the ethernet cable of the target to the host, the
/var/log/messages shows :

Jun  6 12:17:42 kernel: e100: eth0: e100_watchdog: link down
Jun  6 12:17:50 kernel: e100: eth0: e100_watchdog: link up, 10Mbps, half-duplex



        Can anybody please let me know what could be the problem? Has
anybody used Fedora as their host for U-boot? Is it the problem with
the host or the target?


Thanks a lot,
