This script does three steps (that you can also do manually):

Step 1: Set bootargs to be passed to the kernel

The environmental variable bootargs must be updated to tell Linux that the rootfs is taken

via NFS. To manually do this enter the following commands (it is supposed that the

network variables serverip and nfspath have been already set). The values for ip and

console have to be filled depending on the platform.

Step 2: Download the kernel to RAM via TFTP

The following commands download the “/tftpboot/uImage-unc90” image to RAM

memory

Step 3: Launch the kernel from RAM

Now that the kernel image has been downloaded to RAM, we can execute Linux with the

following command

#

run boot_net

#

setenv bootargs nfsroot=$(serverip):$(nfspath) root=nfs ip=... console=...

#

saveenv

#

tftp 20100000 uImage-unc90dev

#

bootm 20100000

Remember that you must have the U-Boot network environment variables properly
configured (ipaddr, serverip,...)
