There is a technique often used with embedded devices for allocation of an IP. Basically, if the network interface has no current IP every received packet is examined (when the destination MAC Address matches that of the device), the destination IP is checked. If this IP is a valid node IP (i.e. not broadcast, multicast etc.) it is allocated to the interface the packet arrived on.
Why ? Combine this with netconsole and no other HCI hardware or software support is required. This will require substantial effort to implement the way u-boot network stack currently works, is there any interest in such an implementation ? _______________________________________________ U-Boot mailing list U-Boot@lists.denx.de http://lists.denx.de/mailman/listinfo/u-boot
