Dear adam.cartwright@bossmail.de,
In message E1LWXyn-0001jO-Sk@www11.emo.freenet-rz.de you wrote:
is it possible to set the hostname instead of the ipaddress for the serverip-environment-variable. So that I can load the os-image from an tftp-server with dynamic ipaddress.
Yes, of course this is possible. You will have to implement a DNS resolver in U-Boot to support such a feature.
But note that this will probably drop you just one level lower: You will then have to store the IP address of the name server(s) ...
Best regards,
Wolfgang Denk
