[Elphel-support] netboot script errors out

[Brian Burke]

My 353 was on 8.0.7.1, and I wanted to upgrade it to 8.0.9.  I setup NFS and
tried using the web interface - the "Check NFS" and "Validate Files"
functions worked, but pressing "Reflash" did nothing (it reported it was
working, but it didn't seem to do anything).

At this point (if memory serves), I tried running nfs_update manually, and
this seems to have bricked the camera.  I no longer have access to the log
file, but it reported nothing but erases. The NIC lights no longer light on
the camera.

Now I'm on to trying to flash to 8.0.9 via netboot.  I'm running Ubuntu
10.10.  I installed the Elphel Software Kit for Ubuntu - configured NFS,
installed the cris tools (with the downgraded compiler and accepting all
defaults), and built the Elphel software using
'elphel353_80_install_from_cvs.sh'.  I then downloaded and installed
'elphel353-8.0.9', as that's the version I want.

I then attempt to follow the instructions at '
http://wiki.elphel.com/index.php?title=Netboot_firmware_upgrade'...

I 'cd' to '/home/brian/elphel353-8.0.9/elphel353' - no problem.

I run '. ./init_env' - prepends the two paths to my PATH.

Then, I run the netboot command - 'sudo .netboot -mac 000E64000000 -ip
192.168.1.9 -nfs 192.168.1.11:/nfs/images/8.0.9 -cmd update -d eth0 -nfs_dir
/nfs/images/8.0.9' - and get this:

./netboot: line 40: cmdline: command not found
cat: kimage: No such file or directory
./netboot: line 44: etraxfsboot: command not found

Frustrating.  I know 'init_env' should help here, but it didn't.  What am I
missing?  Doing an 'echo $PATH' confirms that
'/home/brian/elphel353-8.0.9/elphel353/tools/build/bin' and
'/usr/local/cris/bin' are in there.  I can cd to 'tools/build/bin' and see
that 'etraxfsboot' and 'cmdline' are there, but 'whereis etraxfsboot' gives
me nothing.

Any help at all would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks.
