I have an embedded board in which I want download the rootfs, kernel etc in uboot. It does not have tftp.
Can I use RARP for transferring files?

I have tried this:

  1. I have installed rarp server on host.(apt-get rarpd)
  2. Created an /etc/ethers file, listing the client's MAC ID like this:
    08:ed:ed:25:4f:0e client
  3. Added the client to the /etc/hosts file like this:
    192.168.16.20.220 client
  4. Ran the command rarpd -A
  5. On the client side, in the uboot prompt, I run this "
    rarpboot 0x82000000 192.168.16.77:test_file"
    (/rarpboot folder is created with the required permission).

But I am unable to download any file from rarpboot.

If it is not possible to transfer files using RARP, is there any other way other than tftp ? suggest other options if available ..!
