To enable tftp on your Centos server perform the following as root:
$ yum install tftp* $ chmod 777 /tftpboot $ vi /etc/xinetd.d/tftp ## Change disable = yes to disable = no $ /sbin/restorecon -r /tftpboot $ system-config-securitylevel-tui ## add tftp:udp in the customize menu for other ports $ service network restart $ service xinetd restart $ echo "test">/tftpboot/test $ tftp localhost ## command: get test
check that the file test is received locally.
Unfortunately we cannot test this from bren because the tftp implementation are using random selected ports.
+-------------+ +--------------+ | | | | | | port xx | | | bren |----------------------->| devhost | | | port 69/udp | | | | | | +-------------+ +--------------+ +-------------+ +--------------+ | | | | | | port xx | | | bren |<-----------------------| devhost | | | port nn | | | | | | +-------------+ +--------------+ where nn is randomly selected and with almost 100% certainty not open in the bren firewall. (Remember: The source port (xx) does not cause any problems.)
If you have a PC with fully open firewall you can test the setup - maybe momentary switch off your firewall for the test - provided you have a tftp client installed on your PC.
The EA 2478 board will work under these conditions, because uBoot accepts incoming tftp traffic on any port.
