Configure the TFTP server
After running tftpd64, make sure that:
“Current directory” is set to directory containing the image file (for example
ubuntu-whle-ls1046a-02-10-2021-3bbd6c2.img)“Server interfaces” is set to the network interface that allows the board to connect to the PC.
Please make sure that the image file is uncompressed (it should have an .img extension, not .img.gz)
It’s best to connect both the PC and the board to the same switch where both can acquire IP address from the same DHCP server.
Configure network in U-Boot
Plug in an Ethernet cable to the ETH0 port and start the board. Use dhcp command at the U-Boot prompt to acquire the IP address. After that, set the IP address of the TFTP server using setenv serverip x.x.x.x command, as shown below:
