==Necessary package==
In order to compile the u-boot it is '''necessary ''' to set up the Cross Compiler correctly. In this [[Set Up the Cross Compiler|post]] it is detailed how to set up correctly the Cross Compiler (and the desired version).
{{Message/Information Message|message=The following steps has been tested using '''Ubuntu 16.04''' and the '''4.9 version''' of the '''arm-linux-'''<span class="mw-headline">'''gnueabihf''' compiler</span>}}
In order to install the Compiler we can use this command:
 
sudo apt install gcc-arm-linux-gnueabihf
==Download U-Boot Source==
 First of all, will be a distintion between '''NXP'''-processors products and '''ARM'''-processors products. Because there are different kinds of U-Boot depending of each processor.
Clone the u-boot repository using git address:

==Build your U-BOOT==
After running the defconfig. You can build the U-Boot by executing this command:
<span style="color: #002d87000000;"> make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabihf-</span>
Once the compile process has sucesfully finished, we will find the resulting files inside the u-boot root folder. Depending on the processor the generated files will be different:
Finally we can copy this file files in a '''boot device''', for example, a microSD Memory Card and power on the board. {{Message/Information Message|title=TITLE|message= <span style="color: #000000;">In case of the Freescale-NXP Porcessor Boards, it is not possible to copy directly the u-boot.imx file. It is necessary to copy in the first blocks of the boot device using the dd command. It is explained in the following link[[How to prepare a bootable MicroSD Card|post]].</span>}}
