tftp timed out 1/15 error in ltib on imx27 in Redhat9 environment

[amanoj56]

Dear All,
I am stuck. I have made the imx27ads kit up and working on my pc setup with Redhat9. Bad luck, my system got problem and OS crashed.
I loaded again the same things , same way, but now when I give following command at redboot:

Redboot> load -r -b 0x100000 /tftpboot/zImage

it gives error:
"
using default protocole (TFTP)
TFTP timed out 1/15
Can't load '/tftpboot/zImage' peration timed out
"

I have tried the same process many times.
I checked /etc/exports also for line:
/tftpboot/ltib/  192.168.1.126 (rw,no_root_squash,async)

I checked Xinetd and NFS server also working ok

Firewall is also OFF.

What could be the error?
Can somebody help me?
Is there any way I could check, where in TFTP is the fault?

Thanks in advance.

TFTP is not the same as NFS -- so exporting /tftpboot/ltib in /etc/exports will NOT make TFTP available on your board.

I don't know Red Hat well, but on Debian the settings file for TFTP is in /etc/xinet.d/tftp.  It is disabled by default.

Hello Sir,

Thanks for your reply. I found that the TFTP server was not installed porperly in ERedhat and hence it was not started inspite of all the above setting.

I loaded the TFTP server again and started it.

The problem is solved now.

Thanks.
