===== Boot images from the LAN =====
First of all you need to configure your LAN controller

If MAC address is not set by default then do it manually (you are free to give any numbers here):
<code>
setenv ethaddr 00:11:22:33:44:55
</code>
Give IP address to your board:
<code>
setenv ipaddr 192.168.1.10
</code>
Specify a TFTP server ip:
<code>
setenv serverip 192.168.1.36
</code>
==== Using NFS ====
<code>
nfs ADDR_IN_MEMORY host_ip:/export_dir/name_of_file
</code>
==== Using TFTP ====
All files loaded by net must be placed in a free RAM region. You need to specify this address in HEX with or without leading "0x".
<code>
tftp ADDR_IN_MEMORY name_of_file
</code>
for example to boot linux kernel:
<code>
tftp 82000000 uImage
</code>
