i spent a few minutes earlier this morning building the latest
u-boot for my beagleboard using the ELDK 4.2 arm toolchain on my
64-bit fedora 11 system and since google showed me there was some
discussion as to how to do that on 64-bit debian, i figured i'd just
verify that what i did seemed sane.
i downloaded the ELDK 4.2 arm iso and installed, at which point i
got numerous errors about a missing zlib library. since i already had
glibc.i586 installed for other reasons, i just did:
# yum install zlib.i586
at which point another attempt at installing ELDK worked fine.
at that point, i just did the following for the latest "git pull" of
u-boot (the "master" branch"):
$ make omap3_beagle_config
$ make
and the build worked without a single diagnostic. haven't had a
chance to flash and try it yet, but the end results:
-rwxrwxr-x. 1 rpjday rpjday 702862 2009-08-19 10:45 u-boot
-rwxrwxr-x. 1 rpjday rpjday 182500 2009-08-19 10:45 u-boot.bin
-rw-rw-r--. 1 rpjday rpjday 174549 2009-08-19 10:45 u-boot.map
-rwxrwxr-x. 1 rpjday rpjday 547628 2009-08-19 10:45 u-boot.srec
$ file u-boot
u-boot: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, ARM, version 1 (SYSV),
statically linked, not stripped
$
look reasonable. all in all, pretty simple unless someone wants to
point out anything i did wrong. if i screwed up, it's just going on
an SD card so there's little chance of me breaking anything.
