Can we setup tftp server on T2080RDB?

[sonp]

Hello,

Can we setup tftp server on the T2080RDB  Board rev: 0x01 CPLD ver: 0x03?

From what I understand, there are two options:

1. use the busybox tftpd

2. include the tftp-hpa recipe for bitbake

I'm trying to do option 2.

Is the tftp-hpa the tftp client?  If so, can I use tftpd-hpa for tftp server?

How do I include this in the bitbake recipe, and how do I set it up on the T2080RDB?

Thank you,

SP

tftp-hpa includes both TFTP server and client implementations. Study it's manpage to

see how to use it:

1. On the target, after you deploy it: `man 1 tftp` and `man 8 tftpd`

2. On the build host: change to the build directory, the name should be

    <your_SDK_install_path>/build_t2080rdb/tmp/work/ppce5500-fsl-linux/tftp-hpa/5.2-r0/image/usr/share/man/

     read raw manpages: `nroff -man tftpd.8`

Hi Platon,

Please add details on how to deploy it on the target.

Thank you so much for responding.

There are two apporaches:

1. Add the package to the root filesystem recipe, re-build and redeploy the complete filesystem image. Refer to the online document

  mentioned in my previous post on how to customize the root filesystem. Image deployment instructions for your board can be found here:

2. Transfer binaries by hand. After building the package, the binaries can be found in

   <your_SDK_install_path>/build_t2080rdb/tmp/work/ppce5500-fsl-linux/tftp-hpa/5.2-r0/image/

   you have to copy all files under that directory to the target.  Any transfer method can be used: FTP, HTTP, SCP, NFS.

If you are not familiar with Linux cross-development,  the first method is probably more preferable.
