AmigaOne - U-Boot - Upgrading over a Network
|
The following instructions apply to using the Floppy Edition over a network :
The 'updater.image' program can be booted via network. You must have a tftpboot server accessible from your AmigaOne (the setup
of such a server is beyond the scope of this README; also, there are other methods to boot via BOOTP or DHCP which are also not
covered here).
A bit of setup is required on the AmigaOne side. First of all, verify that the variable ethaddr is set up to your machine's
internal hardware ethernet address (U-Boot should have done that automatically already). Secondly make sure that you have a
correct server IP address set up in the serverip variable. Third, your own machine's IP address should be set up in the ipaddr
variable. To boot the image, from the U-Boot prompt enter
IMPORTANT: Upgrading your firmware is potentially dangerous. If something goes wrong during the update, it might leave your system unusable. Should this situation occur, you will need to remove the U-Boot ROM and return it to your dealer so that the U-Boot ROM can be re-built. If you do not feel comfortable upgrading under these circumstances, contact your dealer to arrange for the upgrade or for Amiga Auckland club members, contact a member of the Executive for assistance.
