Has anyone used any form of PXE, or any other network booting, on a TS7350? My
objective is to create a SD card that can be replicated, making all deployed
devices identical. Using this arrangement, all of the SBCs that are deployed in
the field can be software-updated without physical access to the CPU card. It
would also be convenient for replacing boards that go faulty if all devices are
identical (except for the MAC, or course).
As I see it now, if it hasn't already been done, it would require integrating
the ethernet driver of the TS-7350 with some existing PXE boot code, and then
figuring out how to coerce it onto the SD card as a bootable image. Lots of
unknowns for me.
I think I have the toolchain and build system worked out for building a 2.6
kernel with NFSroot built in, although I haven't tested this yet. Are there any
known pitfalls that are specific to the TS ARM platform to anticipate with this
approach?
Thanks.
