From the network
==== From the network ====
In some cases (in particular during the development phase) it's required to boot the system loading different kernel images or root file systems. You can do this by setting up Dacu to load the kernel and root file sustem from the network, using tftp and nfs protocols. Please refer to [...[Setting_up_tftp_and_nfs]] for instruction on how to install a tftp and nfs servers on the host environment. When the TFTP and NFS services are properly configured, copy the kernel image to the tftp directory (es: /tftpboot/dacu/android/uImage) and export via NFS the directory where the root file system archive has been previously uncompressed.
The software package provided with Dacu includes the kernel binary image and a compressed archive containing the root file system, so you can use the these default components to set up the host machine.
A few more steps are required before launching Android: from the U-Boot console, you need to stop the default boot procedure and configure some environment variables, as described in this section: [[Booting_Linux_Kernel#Configuration_net_nfs | Configuration net_nfs]].
