 If updating via U-Boot you will need to setup a TFTP server to host the files for transfer or alternatively you could load firmware files from removable storage (microSD, or USB Mass Storage for example). For details on setting up a TFTP server see [wiki:tftpserver here]. Also note that there are many reasons why TFTP may fail including:
- * firewall issue keeping your TFTP server for being accessible (make sure you can ping it!)
- * invalid network configuration (netmask, gatewayip, ipaddr, serverip) - again make sure you can ping it!
