| Intel Visual BIOS (on NUC) and netboot |
| -------------------------------------- |
| This will netboot EFI apps, provided you have a DHCP server which is |
| setup to give the BIOS the IP of a tftp server and a filename to grab |
| from there. |
| |
| You must disable legacy boot for the EFI netboot option to appear. If |
| you check the "keep retrying forever" option, when your app exits, the |
| BIOS will try to download it from the tftp server again, making for a |
| quick build/download/test cycle |
| |
| |
| Making tftpd work on Ubuntu with IPv4 |
| ------------------------------------- |
| sudo apt-get install tftpd-hpa |
| |
| Optionally make it easy to copy files to the server without sudo: |
| sudo chown `who` /var/lib/tftpdboot |
| |
| Edit /etc/default/tftpd-hpa so it looks more like: |
| TFTP_USERNAME="tftp" |
| TFTP_DIRECTORY="/var/lib/tftpboot" |
| TFTP_ADDRESS=":69" |
| TFTP_OPTIONS="--secure -4 -v -v -v" |
| |
| Removing the [::] and adding the -4 make it work reliably on IPv4 for me. |
| The several -v's make it chattier in syslog which is handy if you're not |
| sure the test machine is actually trying to grab files. |

| QEMU Tips |
| ------------------------------------- |
| USB-ETH Adapters: |
| - For ASIX chipset usb adapters if you have permission issues copy the udev rules in scripts/ to /etc/udev/rules.d/ |
| |
| E1000 local networking bridge: |
| - You can create a network interface using the Linux tun/tap network device named “qemu” for the |
| qemu-e1000 target. Qemu does not need to be run with any special privileges for this, but you need |
| to create a persistent tun/tap device ahead of time (which does require you be root): |
| |
| sudo apt-get install uml-utilities |
| sudo tunctl -u $USER -t qemu |
| sudo ifconfig qemu up |
