Boot Over Ehternet- Linux Server to Raspberry Pis- Using U-boot

[Ahsan Zia (TAU)]

Hi All,

I need some ideas regarding Boot Over Ehternet. I have been following the u boot document as well.

I am attempting BoE from a Linux Server to a cluster of Raspberry Pis.

i.e we have a Ubuntu (linux) Server with Raspbian image, the desired result is to somehow ''Mount'' the image, so that the Cluster of RPis can be booted-up using Ethernet? The image can be booted-up automatically when a new RPI is introduced into the system?

The RPIs are Power over Ethernet, PoE hats and have Raspbian lite pre-installed. The image can be booted-up automatically when a new RPI is introduced into the system?

Please post some ideas.
