version

Aerohive Boot Loader v1.0.2.28, Build time Thu Sep 04 10:40:00 2014

firewall is disabled
and i also execute this command in windows cmd to Disable media sensing:
netsh interface ipv4 set global dhcpmediasense=disabled

tried
tftpboot 192.168.1.11:/flash1.bin
tftpboot 192.168.1.11:flash1.bin
tftpboot 0x2004000 flash1.bin
tftpboot 0x2004000 /flash1.bin

none works, all give the same error

any ideas where did i go wrong or what setting i have to set would be greatly appreciated, Thanks

Guide says nothing about changing uboots own IP.

copy paste the exact command and set dhcp server in tftpd

fekry11,

There is no 'Device page' of your device: BR200-WP (yet), only a HW page.
You do have a TTL serial connection to the device? It looks like you have.

Typo in first 'setenv ippaddr 192.168.1.3' double 'p', later it is set correct.
But the last 'printenv' is missing value ipaddr? and serverip is set as client (192.168.1.3)?

Did you do a 'saveenv' after changing uboot settings?

i might have typed it wrong here on the forum, but on the serial console i typed it ipaddr
and as seen in tftpd log there is a connection request but the problem is that the router is not sending ack block

i also just tried your tip to saveenv after setting ipaddr and serverip, but didnt work also.

I also tried pumpkin tftp didnt work, will try on ubuntu now hopefully it works.
thanks

You can run wireshark/tcpdump to see requests.

fekry11,

Sometimes the tftp goes better when using a dumb switch between tftp server and router. Although I've never needed that.
