[U-Boot] TFTP retry count Infinite

[Rick Stranberg <ras63@psu.edu>]

Hello Wolfgang,

Yes, of course.  The board is a Micrel KSZ9692 (ARM 922T) SoC-based board, specifically, a Micrel KSZ9692-PB Eval Board.  The version of Uboot (which I forgot to mention) is U-Boot 1.1.4 (August 28, 2009).  Right now, all of the development will be done on this EVAL board, but we are developing a board ourselves.

The message I keep getting is:

	TFTP from server 192.168.1.11; our IP address is 192.168.1.1
	Filename 'mImage_exp'.
	Load address: 0x800000
	Loading: *
	TFTP error: 'File not found' (1)
	Starting again

And it keeps repeating itself.

Thanks a lot.  I appreciate your response.

Regards,

Rick

Dear Rick,

It would help if you provide at least a tiny bit of information about your system, like which architecture / SoC // board you are using, and especially which exact version of U-Boot you are talking about.

The thing is, I cannot reproduce the behaviour you report.

Test on "canyonlands" (PPC):
