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:
- I have installed rarp server on host.(apt-get rarpd)
- Created an /etc/ethers file, listing the client's MAC ID like this:
08:ed:ed:25:4f:0e client - Added the client to the /etc/hosts file like this:
192.168.16.20.220 client - Ran the command rarpd -A
- 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 ..!
