Auto Boot From the Network
To auto boot across the Ethernet, use the netBoot command. The command-line parameters
that can be specified by GEVs are listed in
.
waitProbe
is not required for network booting; Ethernet devices are "instantly" found. Here
is an example of auto booting across a network:
MOTLoad>gevEdit mot-script-boot
(Blank line terminates input.)
netBoot -d/dev/enet0 -a0x04000000<cr>
<cr>
MOTLoad>
MOTLoad>gevEdit mot-/dev/enet0-cipa
(Blank line terminates input.)
192.168.1.190
<cr>
MOTLoad>
MOTLoad>gevEdit mot-/dev/enet0-sipa
(Blank line terminates input.)
192.168.1.33
<cr>
MOTLoad>
MOTLoad>gevEdit mot-/dev/enet0-file
(Blank line terminates input.)
/tftpBoot/bootFile.rom
<cr>
MOTLoad>
In this example, MOTLoad downloads the file from device enet0 to the location in memory at
0x04000000. The IP address of enet0 is 192.168.1.190; the IP address of the source is
192.168.1.33. The execution address offset is 0 by default. The boot file is located in the
/tftpBoot
directory and the boot file name is bootFile.rom
In the above example, auto boot is initiated on the next reset or power cycle of the board.
