Orange Pi PC 2 - network booting

My desire is to get one of these boards set up to network boot via TFTP. This is what I have done with other ARM boards, like the H3 based Orange Pi PC. The usual method is to set up a linux SD card, then interrupt U-Boot, change some environment variable settings, and voila!

However, when I do this with one of the Ubuntu Xenial distributions on an SD card, I discover that the U-Boot used in the distributions has no networking configured. So I have more work to do.


Have any comments? Questions? Drop me a line!
