-The default TFTP suite is tftp-hpa. To install the following step is needed:
-<code bash>
-user@ubuntu:~$ sudo apt-get install tftpd-hpa tftp-hpa
-</code>
-The TFTP default directory is /var/lib/tftpboot.
-Change the following line in ''/etc/default/tftpd-hpa'' to point to the images directory of the BSP:
 <code>
-TFTP_DIRECTORY="/home/tq/workspace/TQMa6x-BSP-REV.0104/platform-MBa6x/images"
+sudo service xinetd restart
 </code>
-To restart the TFTP server type:
-<code bash>
-user@ubuntu:~$ sudo service tftpd-hpa restart
-</code>
-To test the server copy some file to the server and get it back with
-<code bash>
-user@ubuntu:~$ tftp 127.0.0.1 -c get <filename>

-===== Ubuntu 10.04 x86 in vmware player =====
-==== Installation ====
-<code bash>
-user@ubuntu:~$ sudo apt-get install xinetd tftpd tftp
-</code>
-==== Configuration ====
-To cofigure TFTP the file ''/etc/xinetd.d/tftp'' must be created and filled with the following content. This configuration uses the directory ''/tftpboot''.
-<code>
-service tftp
-{
-  socket_type             = dgram
-  protocol                = udp
-  wait                    = yes
-  user                    = root
-  server                  = /usr/sbin/in.tftpd
-  server_args             = -s /tftpboot
-  per_source              = 11
-  cps                     = 100 2
-}

-<WRAP round info>
-The directory requires at least the access authorisation "''dr-xr-xr-x''".

-After the configuration was changed the server should be restarted:
