Before building any application , I need to have android OS running in board. For that I need ip adress of i.MX51. Can you point where can I find under help as you mentioned to see under the Building your Application Guide. Not able to get there.

Answer 2

At the serial console you can check the ip address of the module with the below command
CCWMX51 # printenv ipaddr
ipaddr=10.10.1.100


Also you can check other environmental variables with the below commands
CCWMX51 # printenv_dynamic

CCWMX51 # printenv

For more information on U-Boot commands, pls check MX51 U-Boot reference manual at the below link

Hello Kamlesh, Please provide detailed information when you ask the question in the forum, I.E what the command you used before getting the below error message?

"TFTP from server 192.168.1.3; our IP address is 192.168.1.1
Filename 'u-boot-ccwmx51js.bin'.
Load address: 0x94000000"

Answer 3

in linux type ifconfig, in android , type busybox ifconfig from the serial console. in uboot type printenv. Digi alredy has an Android port for ccwmx51 officialy available in AADK 1.2

TFTP error: 'File not found or No Access' (1)

this error means that your module was able to successfully establish TFTP connection with your host Linux machine running TFTP server, however it was not able retrieve file u-boot-ccwmx51js.bin either because it's not there or because permissions are not set correctly on your host. Are you using Ubuntu installed from LiveDVD of Digi Embedded Linux 5.9. In that case tftp server is preinstalled and preconfigured, just make sure you copy files you wish to serve over tftp to /tftpboot folder
