Hi,
Is it possible to automate installation on VIM 3 using PXE? i saw tftp installation but it requires to access using serial , is there anyway to access kbi remotely or without any key press during startup?
im planning a demo project to auto install os from remote pc
yes ! i have test it already! yes is possible to start OS and automate it!
uboot PXE DHCP TFTP - works fine! but u need install proper uboot + uboot env before!!!
PS: VIM2 VIM3 - have spi flash - which can help bootup process make more flexible !!!
I have a slightly different question related to automated install on a VIM3 using PXE boot. There are manual steps required before the board can PXE boot an image.
These steps are performed using a serial debugging tool connected to the GPIO pins on the VIM3. In my case I am using a bus pirate in transparent uart bridge mode. My goal is to scale the install across hundreds of boards. Is there a method for installing mainline uboot, configuring uboot parameters, and writing to SPI flash with Krescue KBI or with a script in the Krescue shell terminal?
