Hi, Here are the steps: 1. Install tftp-0.17-14 and tftp-server-0.17-14 packages from Red Hat 7.2 CD 2 2. Create tftpboot directory under /tftpboot and copy zImage and ramdisk_img.gz under /tftpboot/tftpboot. OR You can change tftp file as outlined in step 5 to take server_args as -s /. In this case, you need not make subdirectory under /tftpboot. 3. chmod 777 /tftpboot/tftpboot/* Or Chmod 777 /tftpboot/* 4. Under /etc/xinetd.d, there is a file called "tftp". Update it to look like this: service tftp { socket_type = dgram protocol = udp wait = yes user = root port = 69 server = /usr/sbin/in.tftpd server_args = -s /tftpboot disable = no } Or if you choose to use /tftpboot directory for getting zImage and ramdisk image, update tftp file as shown below: service tftp { socket_type = dgram protocol = udp wait = yes user = root port = 69 server = /usr/sbin/in.tftpd server_args = -s / disable = no } 5. ps aux | grep xinetd Once you get the pid, kill it kill -9 pid Run xinetd again For getting NFS server to work ================================== Check if nfs-utils-0.3.1-12 package is installed rpm -qa | grep nfs* Install the package nfs-utils-0.3.1-12 if it is not installed. Edit the file /etc/exports IP-address-of-host:/nfsdir *(rw) Then type "exportfs -a" Hope it helps.... -Ranjeeta -----Original Message----- From: Sundararaman Shiva [mailto:shiva_ixp1200@yahoo.com] Sent: Monday, March 04, 2002 4:27 PM To: ixp1200@CS.Princeton.EDU Subject: RE: [ixp1200] (no subject) Hi Ranjeeta, Could you briefly outline the steps for running tftp and nfs for RH7.2 We have been trying it for quite some time.

Hi, You can use RH 7.2 for IXA SDK but setting up of TFTP server and NFS server requires a little different steps than what is documented in the installation guide.

I am trying to setup the development environment for IXP 1200 EE board. I 've gone through the document, which says:

There are two software development environments designed specifically for IXA application developers. 1. The IXA SDK to develop IXA applications and to write code modules targeted for the IXDP1200 Advanced Development Platform. The IXA SDK runs on Red Hat Linux * 6.2 or Cygwin * (under Windows NT * )

and is available on the IXA SDK distribution CD 1.

2. The IXP1200 Microengine Development Environment to write microcode modules (including those for microACEs) targeted for microengines on the IXP1200. The IXP1200 Microengine Development Environment runsWindows NT-4

I want to know if i can use RHL 7.2 for IXA SDK and Windows 2000 Pro for IXP1200 Microengine Development Environmen. Is it necessary to stick with RHL 6.2 and WinNT-4?

Regards, Ashish
