Re: nfs-boot problem
Inside <buildir>/tmp/deploy/image/<machine>/ you have a <image-name>*.tar.gz
You will have to have in place the NFS client server architecture. Untar the archive in the client location available inside /etc/exports:
The line should look like this: /home *(rw,sync,no_subtree_check,no_root_squash), where /home is the nfs location where your decompressed rootfs should reside.
$ sudo tar xd <image-name>*.tar.gz –C <nfs-location>
After that you need to set the u-boot bootargs to let it know that you actually want to get the sources over the NFS:
$ setenv bootargs root=/dev/nfs rw nfsroot=<nfs_server_ip>:< nfs_path> ip=dhcp console=ttyS0,115200 …
Boot the board and everything should work: bootm <kernel-address> - < dtb-address >

Subject: [yocto] nfs-boot problem
Hello,
I’m struggling getting my wandboard booting via tftp/nfs.
The first part was easy I just set up the tftp server and pointed it to the kernel image and *.dtb file,
in the wandboard.h of u-boot I set
#define CONFIG_BOOTCOMMAND \
"run netboot;"
The kernel starts ok I think :

then it tries to get the rootfs which fails. On the host I set up the nfs server and made some tests – it is accessible.

During the boot process I recognized two things in the log which I suspect to be not ok, but wasn’t able to resolve them, these
are the empty nfsroot : Kernel command line: console=ttymxc0,115200 root=/dev/nfs ip=dhcp nfsroot=:,v3,tcp
And the empty rootpath : bootserver=10.42.0.1, rootserver=10.42.0.1, rootpath=
I tried to set them as CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS but that didn’t succeed (was ignored or didn’t have any effect).
Do you have a hint for me what could be wrong and how to resolve this ?
Also (probably secondary problem) : I just set the folder fsl-community-bsp/build/tmp/work/wandboard_quad-poky-linux-gnueabi/core-image-minimal/1.0-r0/rootfs in my /etc/exports file for the nfs, is that ok ? or which rootfs should I use?
Thank you very much,
Regards,
Mat
