I'm a newbie to u-boot and pretty much to embedded systems. I have a pxa255 board running 2.4.19 kernel with appropriate patches for ARM and xscale and u-boot 1.0.1 as bootloader already installed by somebody else (I just got the stuff). Now, ethernet link is not working yet, due to some issues with SMSC
As Stefan Linz pointed out it may make sense to try a newer version of U-Boot (top of CVS) whichincludes fixes for the ethernet driver.
LAN91c111 driver for linux, so I would like to use serial link to download new kernel image. I've built the kernel and I have uImage ready to go. I also have kermit setup according to DULG wiki. I can connect to serial port of my board just fine, issue 'loadb offset' and then hit ctrl-\c, issue 'send uImage'. this the response i get:
First, did you configure kermit as described in http://www.denx.de/twiki/bin/view/DULG/SystemSetup#Section_4.3. ??
Second, try "send /bin uImage" to make sure to use _binary_ transfer mode.
Also is it possible to use SMSC LAN91c111 from u-boot to get dhcp+tftp+nfs boot working?
Sure. Everything is possible :-) But I have no idea how much work will be needed to get this working on your board.
