+In U-Boot, we implemented the networked console via the standard
+"devices" mechanism, which means that you can switch between the
+serial and network input/output devices by adjusting the 'stdin' and
+'stdout' environment variables. To switch to the networked console,
+set either of these variables to "nc". Input and output can be
+switched independently.
+
+CONFIG_NETCONSOLE_BUFFER_SIZE - Override the default buffer size
+
+We use an environment variable 'ncip' to set the IP address and the
+port of the destination. The format is <ip_addr>:<port>. If <port> is
+omitted, the value of 6666 is used. If the env var doesn't exist, the
+broadcast address and port 6666 are used. If it is set to an IP
+address of 0 (or 0.0.0.0) then no messages are sent to the network.
+The source / listening port can be configured separately by setting
+the 'ncinport' environment variable and the destination port can be
+configured by setting the 'ncoutport' environment variable.
+
+For example, if your server IP is 192.168.1.1, you could use:
+
+	=> setenv nc 'setenv stdout nc;setenv stdin nc'
+	=> setenv ncip 192.168.1.1
+	=> saveenv
+	=> run nc
+
+
+On the host side, please use this script to access the console:
+
+	tools/netconsole <ip> [port]
+
+The script uses netcat to talk to the board over UDP.  It requires you to
+specify the target IP address (or host name, assuming DNS is working). The
+script can be interrupted by pressing ^T (CTRL-T).
+
+Be aware that in some distributives (Fedora Core 5 at least)
+usage of nc has been changed and -l and -p options are considered
+as mutually exclusive. If nc complains about options provided,
+you can just remove the -p option from the script.
+
+It turns out that 'netcat' cannot be used to listen to broadcast
+packets. We developed our own tool 'ncb' (see tools directory) that
+listens to broadcast packets on a given port and dumps them to the
+standard output.  It will be built when compiling for a board which
+has CONFIG_NETCONSOLE defined.  If the netconsole script can find it
+in PATH or in the same directory, it will be used instead.
+
+For Linux, the network-based console needs special configuration.
+Minimally, the host IP address needs to be specified. This can be
+done either via the kernel command line, or by passing parameters
+while loading the netconsole.o module (when used in a loadable module
+configuration). Please refer to Documentation/networking/logging.txt
+file for the original Ingo Molnar's documentation on how to pass
+parameters to the loadable module.
+
+The format of the kernel command line parameter (for the static
+configuration) is as follows:
+
+  netconsole=[src-port]@[src-ip]/[<dev>],[tgt-port]@<tgt-ip>/[tgt-macaddr]
+
+where
+
+  src-port	source for UDP packets
+		(defaults to 6665)
+  src-ip	source IP to use
+		(defaults to the interface's address)
+  dev		network interface
+		(defaults to eth0)
+  tgt-port	port for logging agent
+		(defaults to 6666)
+  tgt-ip	IP address for logging agent
+		(this is the required parameter)
+  tgt-macaddr	ethernet MAC address for logging agent
+		(defaults to broadcast)
+
+Examples:
+
+  netconsole=4444@10.0.0.1/eth1,9353@10.0.0.2/12:34:56:78:9a:bc
+
+or
+
+  netconsole=@/,@192.168.3.1/
+
+Please note that for the Linux networked console to work, the
+ethernet interface has to be up by the time the netconsole driver is
+initialized. This means that in case of static kernel configuration,
+the respective Ethernet interface has to be brought up using the "IP
+Autoconfiguration" kernel feature, which is usually done by defaults
+in the ELDK-NFS-based environment.
+
+To browse the Linux network console output, use the 'netcat' tool invoked
+as follows:
+
+	nc -u -l -p 6666
+
+Note that unlike the U-Boot implementation the Linux netconsole is
+unidirectional, i. e. you have console output only in Linux.
