Ethernet based boot
-------------------
To boot the board via Ethernet, configure the BOOT MODE pins for Ethernet boot.
On powering on the device, ROM uses the Ethernet Port corresponding to CPSW3G's MAC
Port 1 to transmit "TI K3 Bootp Boot".
The TFTP server and DHCP server on the receiver device need to be configured such
that VCI string "TI K3 Bootp Boot" maps to the file `tiboot3.bin` and the TFTP
server should be capable of transferring it to the device.
**Configuring DHCP server includes following steps:**
* Install DHCP server:
.. prompt:: bash $
sudo apt install isc-dhcp-server
* Disable services before configuring:
.. prompt:: bash $
sudo systemctl disable --now isc-dhcp-server.service isc-dhcp-server6.service
* DHCP server setup
Run the ip link or ifconfig command to find the name of your network interface:
Example
.. code-block::
eth0: flags=4163<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
inet 10.0.0.5 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 10.0.0.255

Suppose we are using enx001122334455 interface, one end of it is connected to host PC
and other to board.
* Do the following changes in /etc/dhcp/dhcpd.conf in host PC.
.. code-block::
subnet 192.168.0.0 netmask 255.255.254.0
{
range dynamic-bootp 192.168.0.2 192.168.0.5;
if substring (option vendor-class-identifier, 0, 16) = "TI K3 Bootp Boot"
{
filename "tiboot3.bin";
} elsif substring (option vendor-class-identifier, 0, 20) = "AM62AX U-Boot R5 SPL"
{
filename "tispl.bin";
} elsif substring (option vendor-class-identifier, 0, 21) = "AM62AX U-Boot A53 SPL"
{
filename "u-boot.img";
}
default-lease-time 60000;
max-lease-time 720000;
next-server 192.168.0.1;
}
* Do following changes in /etc/default/isc-dhcp-server
.. code-block::
DHCPDv4_CONF=/etc/dhcp/dhcpd.conf
INTERFACESv4="enx001122334455"
INTERFACESv6=""
* For your interface change ip address and netmask to next-server and your netmask
.. prompt:: bash $
sudo ifconfig enx001122334455 192.168.0.1 netmask 255.255.254.0
* Enable DHCP
.. prompt:: bash $
sudo systemctl enable --now isc-dhcp-server
* To see if there is any configuration error or if dhcp is running run
.. prompt:: bash $
sudo service isc-dhcp-server status
# If it shows error then something is wrong with configuration
**For TFTP setup follow below steps:**
* Install TFTP server:
.. prompt:: bash $
sudo apt install tftpd-hpa
tftpd-hpa package should be installed.
Now, check whether the tftpd-hpa service is running with the following command:
.. prompt:: bash $
sudo systemctl status tftpd-hpa
* Configuring TFTP server:
The default configuration file of tftpd-hpa server is /etc/default/tftpd-hpa.
If you want to configure the TFTP server, then you have to modify this configuration
file and restart the tftpd-hpa service afterword.
To modify the /etc/default/tftpd-hpa configuration file, run the following command
.. prompt:: bash $
sudo vim /etc/default/tftpd-hpa
Configuration file may contain following configuration options by default:
.. code-block::
# /etc/default/tftpd-hpa
TFTP_USERNAME="tftp"
TFTP_DIRECTORY="/var/lib/tftpboot"
TFTP_ADDRESS=":69"
TFTP_OPTIONS="--secure"
Now change the **TFTP_DIRECTORY** to **/tftp** and add the **--create** option to the
**TFTP_OPTIONS**. Without the **--create** option, you won't be able to create or upload
new files to the TFTP server. You will only be able to update existing files.
After above changes /etc/default/tftpd-hpa file would look like this:
.. code-block::
# /etc/default/tftpd-hpa
TFTP_USERNAME="tftp"
TFTP_DIRECTORY="/tftp"
TFTP_ADDRESS=":69"
TFTP_OPTIONS="--secure --create"
Since we have configured tftp directory as /tftp, put tiboot3.bin, tispl.bin
and u-boot.img after building it using sdk or manually cloning all the repos.
To build binaries use following defconfig files:
.. code-block::
am62ax_evm_r5_ethboot_defconfig
am62ax_evm_a53_ethboot_defconfig
`tiboot3.bin` is expected to be built from `am62ax_evm_r5_ethboot_defconfig` and
`tispl.bin` and `u-boot.img` are expected to be built from
`am62ax_evm_a53_ethboot_defconfig`.
Images should get fetched in following sequence as a part of boot procedure:
.. code-block::
tiboot3.bin => tispl.bin => u-boot.img
ROM loads and executes `tiboot3.bin` provided by the TFTP server.
Next, based on NET_VCI_STRING string mentioned in respective defconfig file `tiboot3.bin`
fetches `tispl.bin` and then `tispl.bin` fetches `u-boot.img` from TFTP server which
completes Ethernet boot on the device.
