uboot should do dhcp

[chrysn]

the shipped uboot image currently does not ask for an address to be assigned via bootp/dhcp, but rather picks a 192.168.1.3 address and asks 192.168.1.9 for the itb image.

such a configuration would allow the itb image to be started and used easily without the need for any for the custom flashing software, for example with a (possibly network-manager launched) dnsmasq config like the following:

bootp-dynamic
enable-tftp
tftp-root=/opt/BBBlfs/bin
dhcp-vendorclass=set:want-spl,AM335x ROM
dhcp-vendorclass=set:want-uboot,AM335x U-Boot SPL
dhcp-boot=tag:want-spl,/spl
dhcp-boot=tag:want-uboot,/uboot

What do you think about building the needed images with Buildroot? We need an easy way to rebuild them.

[chrysn]

that the images should be more easily rebuildable seems to be a separate issue to me.

I don't really have time to keep working a lot on the flasher project, more than happy to add someone as a contributor to the repo. @jadonk want to take a stab at this ?
