Hi,Tom,
From the mailing lists,I know that someone use DINK32's tftp
download function to download his image successfully on a Sandpoint X3
board.Is there any important differences between Sandpoint X3 and X2
board so that I can not use the DINK32's tftp function on X2 board?

Now I'm working on a Motorola Sandpoint X2 board with ppc8240.
I use DINK32 r13.1 to boot my linux kernel image. From DINK32 r13.1
user manual,I know that DINK32 r13.1 supports ethernet card Realtek
8139,but after these steps:
What I would suggest is that instead of using the ethernet card
support, you use the serial support still. DINK32 r13.0.0 and newer
support 115200 baud, so loading a kernel via serial is now much less
painful than it used to be.

We have an 8139 and have successfully downloaded and run a kernel with
DINK version 13.1.1. I didn't do it but the instructions sent from the
person who did are:
To download via the network, DINK uses fixed IP
address and Realtek8139 NIC. The steps are:
1. do "ppr" verify NIC card has been identified vendor/device ID as
10EC/8139
2. do "env IO=COM1:9600@100, Then "reset".
3. do "ni -i " to set up your network parameters. For example:
DINK32[MPC7457] {1} >>ni
NETWORK INFORMATION
PCI CARD
Type 8139/10EC on slot 16
SETTINGS
SERVER(TFTP) : 192.168. 1. 1
GATEWAY : 192.168. 1. 1
NETMASK : 255.255.255. 0
DHCP : 192.168. 1. 1
CLIENT(DINK) : 192.168. 1. 7
DHCP: Disabled
SESSION TIMEOUT: Never
4. set up you tftp server at host side
5. The download command is "dl -nw -b -o800000 -fzImage.sandpoint"
6. "go 810000"
You can change IP addr, image name, to fit your setup.
As far as differences in the X2 vs. X3, yes there are important
differences. Does DINK v13.1.1 run successfully & download via the
network successfully on an X2? I don't know, you'll have to figure that
out for yourself or talk to Motorola.
