This page is meant to be a starting point for people to learn build a u-boot image and show to people the current status of different u-boot versions for IGEP Processor Boards.
===What is U-Boot?===
[http://www.denx.de/wiki/U-Boot/ Das U-Boot] (Universal Bootloader) is an open source, primary boot loader used in embedded devices. It is available for a number of different computer architectures, including PPC, ARM, MIPS, AVR32, x86.
=How to cross compile the U-Boot=
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-.
As example, once you've downloaded the u-boot source, you should follow these steps:
make CROSS_COMPILE=[cross compiler] [board config]
make CROSS_COMPILE=[cross compiler]
The result for Texas Instruments processor based board will be a '''MLO''' and '''u==Necessary package====Download & Prepare your U-boot.img'''.BOOT========<span dir="auto">U-Boot Freescale-NXP iMX6 Series</span>======
