U-Boot

  • modify the config header file for your board and add it:
#define CONFIG_NETCONSOLE 1
  • recompile and reflash your U-Boot:
$ make uboot-rebuild
  • redefine some environment variables (here 192.168.1.2 is the IP address of my Host PC):
BIOS> setenv ncip 192.168.1.2
BIOS> setenv stdin nc; setenv stdout nc; setenv stderr nc

Linux

  • You have to use netconsole script from U-Boot sources (default port is 6666):
$ tools/netconsole <ip> [port]
