Both should work, if you need an cross compiler have a look at ELDK [1] > II) > After extracting files I have following tree: > > u-boot_2012.04.01-2_armel.deb Wrong file! Please use the source from denx.de, either git from git://git.denx.de/u-boot.git or a released version from ftp://ftp.denx.de/pub/u-boot <snip debian package content> > According to README all I have to do is to run > make NAME_config > The sheevaplug is listed in boards.cfg so there should be no problem to > make sheevaplug_config. Thats true for native build (never tested, may not work) You will need some compiler flags: CROSS_COMPILE (prefix for 'gcc' when cross compiling) PATH (should contain your toolchain) I would build it that way: ---8<--- abiessmann@azuregos % PATH=$ARMv5_PATH:$PATH CROSS_COMPILE=arm-v5te-linux-gnueabi- make O=/tmp/build_sheevaplug sheevaplug_config Configuring for sheevaplug board... abiessmann@azuregos % PATH=$ARMv5_PATH:$PATH CROSS_COMPILE=arm-v5te-linux-gnueabi- make O=/tmp/build_sheevaplug all ... abiessmann@azuregos % ls -l /tmp/build_sheevaplug/u-boot* -rwxr-xr-x 1 abiessmann abiessmann 1893165 Nov 6 10:09 /tmp/build_sheevaplug/u-boot* -rw-r--r-- 1 abiessmann abiessmann 378492 Nov 6 10:09 /tmp/build_sheevaplug/u-boot.bin -rw-r--r-- 1 abiessmann abiessmann 1043 Nov 6 10:09 /tmp/build_sheevaplug/u-boot.lds -rw-r--r-- 1 abiessmann abiessmann 127109 Nov 6 10:09 /tmp/build_sheevaplug/u-boot.map -rw-r--r-- 1 abiessmann abiessmann 1088268 Nov 6 10:09 /tmp/build_sheevaplug/u-boot.srec abiessmann@azuregos % PATH=$ARMv5_PATH:$PATH CROSS_COMPILE=arm-v5te-linux-gnueabi- make O=/tmp/build_sheevaplug /tmp/build_sheevaplug/u-boot.kwb ...

So not sure hot to use it? Well, that is a pre-compiled debian package for armel. The debian directory contains some information for the debian package system.
