TFTP PROBLEM
Hi all,
We're using u-boot 1.0.0 to boot Linux on a Lubbock based platform. We've been able to boot Linux from RAM, with JFFS2 and nfsroot too. But we've a problem with tftp.
We know that the tftp server works because we've tested it with other clients. But with tftp in u-boot we're only able to transfer little files (1, 2 Kb)..
Which can be the problem?? Newer versions work fine??
Thanks in advance
Regards,
Sonia
TFTP can work fine in 1.0.0, but be affected by network environment. What's kind of the server do you use for the host configuration, DHCP, BOOTP ?
Could you show the console messages ?
Also I want to know your environment variables.
That is shown by "printenv" command.

I recommend recompile with debug flag of net.c and the driver's code to get the more messages. also observe the packet with ethereal or tcpdump command.

You've probably checked this, but make sure the cable is good. I've had a bunch of problems with crossover cables in particular. For example, I worked on one board that had no problems with the crossover cable under Linux, but under U-Boot, TFTP just wouldn't work. Using an Ethernet hub alleviated this.
I also have a Sony notebook computer that connects fine over a crossover cable to a 10Base-T card, but not to a 100Base-T card.
Consequently, I've pretty much given up using crossover cables, for the time being.

It sounds like some of you have duplex negotiation or mismatch problems.
