iMX6qsabresd--TFTP&NFS problem

zhangmeiyu · ‎05-27-2017

Hi :

I have started ubuntu14.04.1 on the board through i.MX6q SABRE Board for Smart Devices - Linux on ARM - eewiki ,all the things needed are in the SD card.Now i want to start the linux kernel through TFTP and access the rootfs on the host via NFS.Through the first way I got the image file named zImage and the rootfs supposed it named ubuntu14.04.1. I have put them in the TFTP shared directory and NFS shared directory in the host.Then I should set the parameters on the UBOOT command line which has done as follow:

setenv ipaddr <myipaddr>

setenv serverip <my serverip>

setenv gatewayip <my gatewayip>

setenv ehtaddr <my ethaddr>

setenv ip_dyn no

setenv nfsroot /home/nfs

setenv image zImage

setenv loadaddr 0x12000000

ok,the problem is that,I don't know how to set the remaining parameters such as bootargs,bootcmd or more else……

And I want to know if the image and the rootfs I used are correct, if not ,can someone provide me a correct one?

Thanks a lot .

Mary

Hello,

Please use "i.MX Linux® User's Guide" of NXP Linux BSP docs,
in particular sections 4.7 (Running Linux OS on the target),
4.7.5 (Running the Linux image from NFS), 4.4.1.1 (Downloading
an image to MMC/SD).

Hello,

> TFTP error: 'File not found' (1)

Looks like FTP server is not set properly or it does not contain the needed files.

What are FTP server settings ?

Regards,

Yuri.

hi,

My TFTP server is built on my PC's virtual machine.

zmy@zmy-virtual-machine:~$ sudo /etc/init.d/xinetd restart
[sudo] password for zmy:
* Stopping internet superserver xinetd [ OK ]
* Starting internet superserver xinetd [ OK ]
zmy@zmy-virtual-machine:~$ sudo netstat -a|grep tftp
udp 0 0 *:tftp *:*

then I test it again ,the result is as follows,it also success

root@zmy-virtual-machine:~# cd /var
root@zmy-virtual-machine:/var# tftp localhost
tftp> get test
tftp> q
root@zmy-virtual-machine:/var# cat test
success le hahahahaha
root@zmy-virtual-machine:/var#

My TFTP share directory has the file as follows:
