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

Reserved GEVs

on page 236

.

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.
