Hello,
I'm currently using u-boot on a TI DM816x evaluation board (u-boot as
included in TI's EZSDK 5.02). I manually enabled CONFIG_CMD_DNS. However,
running dhcp followed by dns <some_host_name> only gave timeouts.
I found (using #define DEBUG) that DNS UDP queries are being sent to the
MAC of the DHCP server -- which is not equal to the DNS server, hence the
timeouts. Forcing ARP queries before DNS fixed this (see patch below). I
copyied that line from net/tftp.c (which works out of the box).
However, as I'm quite new to u-boot I'm not sure whether that behaviour is
intended or if my patch breaks other things?
Patch (against plain u-boot-2011.09):
