Overview
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?
Das U-Boot (Universal Bootloader) is an open source, primary boot loader used in embedded devices. Its primary purpose in the shipping system is to load some operating system.
That means that U-Boot is necessary to perform a certain task, but it's nothing you want to throw any significant resources at. Typically U-Boot is stored in relatively small NOR flash memory, which is expensive compared to the much larger NAND devices often used to store the operating system and the application.
Necessary package
Download & Prepare your U-BOOT
We will relate the commercial names with their technical names. In order to send a clear message and not get confussions.
In addition, will be a distintion between NXP products ( IGEP SMARC iMX6) and Texas products.

Clone the u-boot repo |
Clone the u-boot repository using git address: $ git clone @git.isee.biz:arm-boot/u-boot-arm.git
or @@@PRE1@@@nbsp;git clone <a class="external bs-external-link bs-protocol-https" title="https://git.isee.biz/arm-boot/u-boot-arm.git" href="https://git.isee.biz/arm-boot/u-boot-arm.git" data-bs-type="external_link" data-bs-wikitext="https://git.isee.biz/arm-boot/u-boot-arm.git%20https://git.isee.biz/arm-boot/u-boot-arm.git">https://git.isee.biz/arm-boot/u-boot-arm.git</a> |
Checkout u-boot repo |
Go to the u-boot-arm directory and checkout the isee_v2017.03 as: $ cd u-boot-arm
|
Once we have downloaded we will execute the file called defconfig, that it variates in function of each module. It's recommended to make a clean of console...
$ make distclean
Set the board configuration(Prepare your U-BOOT) | |

IGEPv2 |
$ make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabihf- igep0020_defconfig

IGEP SMARC AM335x Lite |
$ make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabihf- am335x_igep0034_lite_defconfig

The result for Texas Instruments processor based board will be a MLO and u-boot.img.
Build u-boot
You can build u-boot executing this command: COMPROVAR
$ make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabihf-

Checkout u-boot repo | Go to the u-boot-imx directory and checkout the version 2015.04.y as:$ cd u-boot-imx |
Once we have downloaded we will execute the file called defconfig, that it variates in function of each module. It's recommended to make a clean of console...
$ make distclean

|
IGEP0046 SMARC Quad |
$ make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabihf- igep0046_imx6q_2G_defconfig
|
The result for iMX6 processor based will be a u-boot.imx.
Build u-boot
$ make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabihf-
For both processors we can do...
What next...
After build u-boot you can use it for boot the board, exist several options for boot, check the Hardware Reference Manual about the options available for your board.
- Boot from MicroSD Card.
- Boot from NAND flash.
- Boot from eMMC.
- Boot from USB.
- Boot from Network.

The result for iMX6 processor based will be a u-boot.imx.
