Trying to eliminate ethernet hooks from Bootloader--AM3352

Summary:

 I’ve followed the steps below, and I’m now trying to eliminate Ethernet “hooks” from the Bootloader. 

-        U-boot from the git repository (below) supports the “menuconfig” option, allowing me to configure u-boot via a GUI.

-        U-boot from TI doesn’t *seem* to support menuconfig (or I can’t make it work: why?).  I manually commented out most of the Ethernet initialization calls instead of using the GUI provided by menuconfig.

In both cases, I arrived at the same place; u-boot continues looking for Ethernet hardware.

Can the you provide any info on how to build a u-boot / Linux image that does not support Ethernet?  Or minimally supports it, so that I can get by without dedicated hardware on the board?

 Thanks

    Hi,

    Please post which u-boot version is this? I will forward this to the SW team.

    Hi,

    U-boot never maintained make menuconfig. This configuration is available only for kernel.
    If you wants to compile u-boot and uImage without Ethernet the easiest way is to get desired sdk (I understand that you are working with sdk6) from official TI site. Then to following a TI documentation to compile u-boot and uImage. For uImage if you want to remove Ethernet support you have to uncheck in "make menuconfig" Networking support (by default is checked).
    But the very important is that you have to align the boot pins depend your boot sequence. I think that this boot order pins now are wrong setting.
