=<span style="color: #999999;">How to cross compile the U-Boot</span>=
<div style="font-size: 15.024px;"><span style="color: #999999;">In order to compile and build the U-Boot for IGEP PROCESSOR BOARDS you should set the CROSS_COMPILE variable. Set this to the prefix of your toolchain (including the trailing dash "-"). So if your toolchain is invoked as say '''arm-linux-gnueabi-gcc''', just chop off that trailing gcc and that's what you use: arm-linux-gnueabihf-.</span></div>
<div style="font-size: 15.024px;"><span style="color: #999999;">As example, once you've downloaded the u-boot source, you should follow these steps:</span></div>
<span style="color: #999999;">make CROSS_COMPILE=[cross compiler] [board config]
make CROSS_COMPILE=[cross compiler]</span><div style="font-size: 15.024px;"><span style="color: #999999;">The result will be a MLO and a u-boot.img file. You can install these files, for example, in the boot partition of a SD-card.</span></div>
