U-Boot automatically sets the variable ethact to the name of the Ethernet interface that is currently active
(default: octmgmt0). This variable can be changed on host to force U-Boot to use a different network
interface.

Bootloader Update
To update the bootloader, the new U-boot binary is transferred to the board using TFTP. After that, this
binary is written into the onboard flash. The internal controller is used for network connection.
Prerequisites: a working TFTP server, DHCP server and network connectivity to the DHCP and TFTP server. The
new bootloader image has to be stored on the TFTP server. No jumper settings are required on the AM4211.
There is one possible way to update the bootloader image and it's by using the predefined update scripts from
the bootloader CLI. It is recommended to always update firmware of the active image. In case of a failure, it is
possible to restore the board using the still unchanged redundant image. After the updated firmware is
running properly, the redundant image can be updated to the same version, only if it is required.
The following procedure defines the update of the image 0 bootloader:
•Start system and connect to serial console
•Connect to bootloader shell by entering the bootloader bootstop phrase 'stop'
