requests. Increasing this will allow U-Boot to accept offers
from a BOOTP client in networks with unusually high latency.
+- BOOTP Random transaction ID:
+ CONFIG_BOOTP_RANDOM_ID
+
+ The standard algorithm to generate a DHCP/BOOTP transaction ID
+ by using the MAC address and the current time stamp may not
+ quite unlikely produce duplicate transaction IDs from different
+ clients in the same network. This option creates a transaction
+ ID using the rand() function. Provided that the RNG has been

- DHCP Advanced Options:
You can fine tune the DHCP functionality by defining
CONFIG_BOOTP_* symbols:
option). Given an image built by mkimage, the dumpimage extracts a "data file"
from the image:
- tools/dumpimage -i image -p position data_file
- -i ==> extract from the 'image' a specific 'data_file', \
- indexed by 'position'
+ tools/dumpimage -i image -T type -p position data_file
+ -i ==> extract from the 'image' a specific 'data_file'
+ -T ==> set image type to 'type'
+ -p ==> 'position' (starting at 0) of the 'data_file' inside the 'image'
