Cannot NFS/Network Deploy on M54455EVB

Hello,

I’m new to LTIB. I was using LTIB try to NFS/Network deploy the Freescale M54455EVB following every instruction provided by Freescale but I always see the error

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

As you can see the last line captured indicating the NFS server is not responding(?) Does it mean the NFS is not set up well? (I’ve followed up every instruction Freescale provided).

Has anybody ever experienced this issue?

Many thanks.

Hi,

It would appear to be a problem in the network configuration.

What is the net info for your board, nfs server, netmask?

What is the command line you are booting the kernel with?

And what are the ltib settings for your Network setup?

Hi:
you should test if the nfs service is working, using this:
as root type:
#mount your_pc_ip:/tftpboot/ltib /mnt
/tftpboot/ltib is the directory that has the link to your filesystem.
If you are not able to see your filesystem at /mnt, the nfs service is not working
You can try this #service nfs restart
and repeat the process. If it isn t work yet try
./exportfs -ra
I hope it helps.
best regards

Thanks for all the help. It was a netwrk config problem.

Hi, I am having the same NFS problem with my MX21ADS build. Can you advise what is your exec command string to get it working?

How did you resolve the network config problem?

Thanks
