Hi everyone:
I am trying to download u-boot.bin to OMAP5912OSK through tftp. But when I type the commad in u-boot prompt, it shows following error messages:
OMAP5912 OSK # tftpboot 0x10000000 /tftpboot/u-boot.bin TFTP from server 192.168.4.1; our IP address is 192.168.4.190 Filename '/tftpboot/u-boot.bin'. Load address: 0x10000000 Loading: T T T T T T T T T T Retry count exceeded; starting again .......
What's wrong with my setups?
Thank you and best regards!

The "T T T T T" messages indicate a timeout, which means the client thinks the packets are going out and not getting a reply. I've seen this many times and it can mean many different things. I'm not all-knowing and all-seeing, but I can make some suggestions. First, make sure that you have a file called
[snipped good advice]
Hope this helps.

Another suggestion: from a (linux) box command line, tftp to your server and verify that it works. Your message is indicating that your server is 192.168.4.1 and the file you are trying to get is /tftpboot/u-boot.bin so do the following (I'm typing this from memory, so it may not be quite right)...
$ tftp 192.168.4.1 tftp> get /tftpboot/u-boot.bin
Getting TFTP to work (i.e. properly configured) usually solves the problem in my experience.
