: ping implementation
Hi all, and sorry again for wasting time with my silly questions ;)
Thanks in andvance for your answers, always quick, ready and complete!
The question is: I managed to boot the MP8260ADS with u-boot. I configured the network. I tried to ping it from the host pc and get "host unreachable" message.
Instead if i ping the host from the board i get only "the host is alive" message.
I don't think this is completely normal. Am I wrong? Another matter is the "Bad Magic Number" notice just before the u-boot prompt. I searched for help about it but did not find anything. What does it mean?
Thanks a lot for your patience

Correct. This is the expected behaviour.

Why don't you think this is normal? It is.

You probably use some automatic boot command which tries to boot a Linux kernel image which is not where it was expected, so U-Boot complains about the bad magic number. What does your definition of "bootcmd" look like?
