Voila, you're in console

Setting up U-Boot

To see current environment variables type

• printenv

It returns something like this:

u-boot> printenv
bootdelay=3
baudrate=38400
bootcmd=one read a1000000 40000 160000;wtags;go
ethaddr=00:0d:15:00:72:31
filesize=11f11c
fileaddr=A1000000
netmask=255.255.255.0
serverip=10.0.0.16
ipaddr=192.168.1.200
bootargs=console=ttyS0,38400 tftproot=10.0.0.16:rootfs.tar.gz
gatewayip=10.0.0.42

Environment size: 279/2044 bytes
u-boot> 

Now:

• set gatewayip 10.0.0.42
• set ipaddr 10.0.0.23
  • this needs to be unused, ping it if unsure
    • ping 10.0.0.23
• save

Flashing filesystem

• Paste to u-boot

u-boot> erase 1:12-;set bootargs console=ttyS0,38400 tftproot=10.0.0.16:rootfs.tar.gz;tftp zImage-144u.bin;wtags;go

• Restart device when asked

When it doesn't work

Warning: gatewayip needed but not set

While in U-Boot type:

• set gatewayip 10.0.0.42
• save
