Hi,
I'm trying to get an olinuxino-a64 board to boot using bootp but it failed to send any DHCP packets so I reduced the problem to trying to get it to ping another host but that fails as well.
I tried it both with 2018.09 and then the head of master given there were some recent commits to the net area to fix handling asynchronous responses.
I'm testing this by having the board ethernet connected to a switch and another port of the switch to a host running wireshark snooping packets in promiscuous mode.
If I let the board boot completely (ie start the kernel) and configure the interface I can ping the host without any issues, so I assume the dtb is ok.
However, if I interrupt the boot and try to ping tho host from within u-boot I get:

seem a bit odd to me but they may be correct.
I'm stuck and don't really know how to proceed. Any suggestions please?
Thanks
