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-.

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. 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]

Necessary package

Download & Prepare your U-BOOT

U-Boot Freescale-NXP iMX6 Series
Downloading binary files
Clone the u-boot repo

Clone the u-boot repository using git address:
$ git clone git@git.isee.biz:arm-boot/u-boot-imx.git 

or
$ git clone https://git.isee.biz/arm-boot/u-boot-imx.git

Checkout u-boot repo 

Go to the u-boot-imx directory and checkout the version 2015.04.y as:

$ cd u-boot-imx
$ git checkout remotes/origin/isee_imx_v2017.03_4.9.11_1.0.0_ga -b isee_imx_v2017.03_4.9.11_1.0.0_ga
Set the board configuration
IGEP0046 SMARC Quad
 $ make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabihf- igep0046_imx6dl_2G_defconfig
IGEP0046 SMARC Dual lite
 $ make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabihf- igep0046_imx6q_2G_defconfig
IGEP0046 SMARC Solo
 $ make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabihf- xxxxx

Build u-boot

You can build u-boot executing this command:

$ make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabihf-


Configurations files

The result for Texas Instruments processor based board will be a MLO and u-boot.img. (COMPROVAR)

Modules

IGEP0034 SMARC AM335x Module lite  am335x_igep0034_lite_defconfig
IGEP0050 OMAP5 IGEPv5  

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

Stable U-Boot

The software git repository is located here.

U-boot: OMAP3 boards, OMAP5 boards, AM335x boards is located here.

U-boot: iMX6 boards is located here.

u-boot firmware binaries can be downloaded from here.

[EOL] For OMAP3 based platforms, ISEE do not support u-boot, instead of, ISEE provides The IGEP X-loader
