Compiling U-Boot

To configure and build U-Boot for a target board "cd" to, or copy the source tree to somewhere local and then type:

host% make distclean
host% make <config>
host% make

Where <config> is one of the configuration names given in the table in here.

Note: If building for a 32-bit environment (SE=1) then the config will have a "se" suffix after the board name, otherwise, for 29-bit mode (SE=0) it will not.

This will create the following set of files:

• u-boot - Elf executable file (for download with GDB)
• u-boot.bin - binary file (for burning into Flash)
• u-boot.map - Linker memory map file

For example, to build a 29-bit U-Boot for a STx7111 on a MB618 board, then run the following commands:

host% make distclean
host% make mb618_config
host% make

To build a 32-bit U-Boot for a STx7105 on a MB680 board, then run the following commands:

host% make distclean
host% make mb680se_config
host% make
