I can ping and tftp from the platform but cannot ping or telnet to it.
Are you talking about U-0Boot or Linux here?
If you mean U-Boot, then you should understand that incoming pings are unsupported by U-Boot, and telnet like all other TCP/IP based services are unimplemented, too.
If you talk about Linux, then you're off topic here.
I suppose that I'm missing some configuration but can't see what.
What exactly makes you think this should work? Having a closer look you will also find out that U-Boot does not reply to ssh requests nor does it work as a web server. Java support is pretty poor, too. Doom isn't runnin either.
Any pointers would be appreciated.
Don't expoect too much. This is a boot loader, not an OS.
