Optional Settings. Phytec phyCORE-AM335x

phyCORE®-AM335x [PCM-051-xxx]

Due to a bug in the current version of the TFTP-hpa daemon the daemon does not start after the system is rebooted. You have to start it in the terminal with the following command: restart tftpd‐hpa 

A permanent workaround is to create a file called tftp-hpa under

/etc/network/if-up.d/. Insert the following commands in the file:

#!/bin/sh  restart tftpd‐hpa 

After saving the file set the correct permission with chmod 755 /etc/network/if‐up.d/tftpd‐hpa .

You have successfully set up the TFTP server. In the future the phyCORE-AM335x can access to the /tftpboot/ folder to load the images.
