Hi, are you able to network boot with sd card?
When i create sd card in Configurator for network boot (not programming for boot withou sd), network interface on rpi doesn't come up at all(i checking it on cisco switch). When i remove sd card, network interface is comming up. This is happening only on RPi 3B+ , Rpi 3B is working fine.
Thx

Rpi 3B+ needs no SD for network card.

Hello,
I'm having problems booting Rpi 3B+
When trying to boot from network with or without a sd card there is no signal on the monitor, I'm trying to boot it with wtware 5.8.22.
Did anything change in the way wtware boots rpi's in the latest versions? I have been using version 5.4.90 with rpi 3B with booting from sd card without a problem.
I have configured my dhcp server with: filename "5.8.22/wtware.pxe"; and nextserver options and it worked in version 5.4.90 with card booting.
Also I've seen that when creating sd card with version 5.8.22 there are no more .bin files in the sd card. Am i missing something?
Thank you
akatik

My Rpi 3B+ never boots from network WITH sd card. 3B+ boots from network only WITHOUT sd.

Thre are no changes in several latest versions. Not sure about changes since 5.4.90.

Rpi (from 2 to 3B+) ignores filename and boots well with "HelloWorld" in 067 DHCP.

Reformat sd. Try another sd. Configurator should write bootcode.bin creating "network boot sd".

Hello,
Thank you for your quick response.
I have added option bootfile-name "Hello World"; in my isc-dhcp-server config, the raspberry behaves the same. The log for the server shows the raspberry discovers the server but after being offered the ip address the raspberry doesn't DHCPREQUEST or DHCPACK:

I have also tried with a different dhcp server and the problem is the same

bootfile-name is not required.
next-server is required. I don't see next-server in your log.

Which DHCP server do you use? Read DHCP server documentation about next-server option. There are two fields in DHCPOFFER about next (boot, TFTP) server address. Perhaps, your DHCP needs both to be specified.
