Default Boot Configuration 3.1 Default Boot Configuration Out of the box, the EVM boots from flash and starts the demos automatically after a few seconds when you power up the board. It does not require an NFS mount or a TFTP server to run the standard demos. Note: The default U-Boot bootargs definition sets "ip=off", which disables the Ethernet connection. The out-of-the-box boot parameters are listed in Section A.4.1. The following are alternate ways you may want to boot the board: ❏ TFTP boo
