Hi Ryan,
We are trying to boot Linux via tftp command on our NXP ARMv8 board.
I found some relevant information about how this was tried and enabled on ARM Juno: 1. https://lists.linaro.org/pipermail/linaro-uefi/2015-January/000653.html 2. https://wiki.linaro.org/WorkingGroups/Kernel/ARMv8/TFTPJunoBoard
We are able to use the tftp command on the Shell to get a kernel Image file from network and write it to a filesystem (for e.g. on a FAT32 formatted SD card).
Now, I was wondering how we can use the same in conjunction with the LinuxLoader.efi application to tftp the 'kernel and rfs' images from network and pass the same to the LinuxLoader.efi, which can in-turn boot the kernel Image.
Can you please let me know if my understanding is correct and point us to how this is achieved on ARM Juno.
Thanks for the help.
Regards, Bhupesh

Sorry, I don't use TFTP to boot my boards. I never worked it out.
Thanks for the help.
