tftpboot problem

[Altera_Forum]

Hi,  

I'm working with a Stratix Pro Edition 1s40, under FC5 and use the gtkterm terminal. When I try the following: ==> bdinfo mem start = 0x01000000 mem size = 0x01000000 flash start = 0x00000000 flash size = 0x00800000 flash offset= 0x00000000 sram start = 0x02000000 sram size = 0x00100000 baudrate = 115200 bps ethaddr = 08:00:3E:26:0A:5B ip_addr = 192.168.0.180 ==> printenv baudrate = 115200 bps ethaddr = 08:00:3E:26:0A:5B bootdelay=-1 ip_addr = 192.168.0.180 loadaddr= 192.168.0.183 serverip=192.168.0.183 gatewayip 2.168.3.1  # That's exactly what's printed (without the =) and I failed to delete that variable netmask=255.255.252.0 bootfile=/tftpboot/vmlinux.img stdin=serial stdout=serial stderr=serial Environment size: 281/65532 bytes ==> tftpboot 1100000 vmlinux.img Using MAC Address 08:00:3E:26:0A:5B TFTP from server 192.168.0.183; our IP address is 192.168.0.180 Filename 'vmlinux.img'.

Hi, 

thanks smalllight for your reply. I solved my problem. How? I only set these environment variables: loadaddr, bootfile, hostname. Then a simple tftpboot did the necessary.
