The next step is to read in the u-boot environment file you just modified. If you are using minicom,
type <ctl-A> and Z to bring up the Command Summary. Then type “Y” for “Paste file.”
(i)
This should bring up the “Select file for upload” window pointing to your home directory. From
here, use the up and down arrow keys to scroll down and select the “u-boot-env-netra-rdk.txt” file
you modified and then copied in step (3e). Press the space bar to tag the file. Then, use the left
and right arrow keys to select “Okay”. Press <return>.
(j)
You should then see a series of commands being pasted within u-boot. The very last line should say
“Saving Environment to NAND…”
(k)
Type “printenv” to show the current environment variables in u-boot.
(l)
Check the value of serverip, nfsserver, and netmask to make sure it conforms to your network. You
can use setenv to change anything that needs to be modified.
(m)
Set boot mode to NFS
Z3-DM8168-MOD> setenv bootcmd run boot-nfs
(n)
Save your changes
Z3-DM8168-MOD# saveenv
(5) Make sure the DM8168 is connected to your network.
(
6) From the u-boot prompt, type “boot”
Z3-DM8168-MOD# boot
You should see the Z3-DM816X-VI-RPS boot the kernel obtained via TFTP, mount a file system using
NFS, and then go straight to the serial menu. Appendix A shows an example of a successful boot. If
you are running into issues, see the “Troubleshooting” section in Appendix B.
