Title
Digi Embedded Linux 4.1 RevA: TFTP Server patch
 
Case: internal
 
Date Fixed: 07/08/08
 
Description

If you have done a full installation including kubuntu 7.1 from the DVD Digi Embedded Linux 4.1 RevA, the TFTP server will not work.

Symptom: when trying to update any firmware to the module via ethernet, you are getting:

Loading: T T T T T ...

Solution

To overcome the problem on your development host, change "udp" into "udp4" in the tftp line in /etc/inetd.conf (you need to do this as root):

sudo kedit /etc/inetd.conf

line 32: tftp dgram udp ... => tftp dgram udp4

Then restart the inetd, either with:

sudo /etc/init.d/inetutils-inetd restart or by rebooting your system.

Then files under /tftpboot will be available via TFTP.

Note: Ethernet card needs to be configured prior to match $(serverip) of U-Boot, e.g.:

sudo ifconfig eth1 192.168.42.1

if you do have a second ethernet card "eth1" connected to the module, or eth0 if you do only have one ethernet card.
