ARM application on ethernet

[dave1987]

hi!
i have an ARM kit PXA255 that is running linux in it. i connect it through serial port and lan cable and see it on minicom. i can transfer file through tftp but now i want to
remove serial port and access it only on ethernet and be able to transfer program
file and run it on board.

how can i do it??? I actually want to run a real time application which control
devices attached to board's serial port through remote pc.

You have to get NFS working on host and target after kernel booting.

how to get this done?
do i need to install any software or is the utility provided with the board itself?

You have to recompile your target kernel with NFS enabled from under filesystems.
Share a directory on your host with NFS
Boot your kernel
Then mount the shared host directory to a directory on target using NFS
