U-Boot and missing tftp command

U-Boot and missing tftp command

[Pedro I. Sanchez]

Hello,

I just successfully built a Yocto image for a beagleboard-xm card and 
noticed that the U-Boot image is missing support for the tftp command.

How do I go about recompiling U-Boot to include this command?

Thanks,

Thank you for the update.

I could take the new version and manually do the build for the board. 
But I wonder, what would be the Yocto way to request this version of 
U-Boot in my build? I mean, what exactly would I need to include in, 
say, my local.conf file, to get the new version automatically downloaded 
and compiled?

Thanks,
