[En-Nut-Discussion] TFTP Download to Ethernut 5

[Vegard Aaker]

Hi,

I got it working, but not with the specific ethernut scripts.

What I ended up doing (which is not a very nice or general method) was to
use the commands
setenv serverip 192.168.0.10
setenv ipaddr 192.168.0.20
tftpboot 0x20000000 192.168.0.10:hello.bin
go 0x20000000

I am using a ethernet crossover cable (twisted network cable) directly
between the Ethernut board and the computer (with a static ip).

I tried using many other combinations of ethernut specific scripts to get
it working, for example
- using a hub with DHCP. The computer managed to get a ip address from the
hub so the DHCP should be working
- using the commands
   setenv nut_image_name appname.bin
   run tftpbootnut
   both with static ip and with a hub between. (static ip was set with both
tftpserverip and serverip in u-boot).

If there is a possibility to use static ip with the tftpbootnut script,
please let me know.
