Honored ContributorHello All,
What is Altera U-boot? Searched the web, found how to do, but not what is it... Could someone give a short description what is u-boot or refer me to a good resource, which explains this, on the web? Thank you
Honored ContributorU-Boot is a open source universal boot loader. Here's a wiki on it:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/das_u-boot It is very popular in the embedded space, and is used as the primary bootloader kind of like "GRUB" PC linux world. It has Ethernet capabilities, so it can also boot the hardware over the network via tftp etc. PeteHonored ContributorHi Pete,
Thanks for the sharing.Honored ContributorHow can I boot from the Network (using tftp)?
Honored Contributorthe DS-5 having a capability to allow user to debug the application via Ethernet, but is in SSH connection, where it called RSE....
Honored ContributorRSE? you talking about this?>http://help.eclipse.org/luna/index.jsp?topic=%2forg.eclipse.rse.doc.user%2fgettingstarted%2fg_start.html
Honored ContributorHonored ContributorHi,
uboot is described in total from a key part of its developers in [1]. For booting it is TFTP with combination of maybe NFS for the filesystem. You just have to plug in an ethernet-cable and set the ip address and server ip in the environment (and of course have a corresponding TFTP-Server/NFS-Server in the net).

Honored ContributorThanks to All! Actually I'm FPGA Engineer, not an Embedded one... Just tried helping to our Embedded engineer which is also not so familiar with Linux environment... Thanks again!
Honored ContributorI see. There us more detail information you can get from Google search. As this term is commonly used in linux programming.
