DM814x U-BOOT-MIN-SD Build Problem

Alan Walker

Hello, I'm running into an issue trying to build the U-BOOT-MIN-SD image. I've downloaded the latest version link the PSP website tarball is that's found at:

http://software-dl.ti.com/dsps/dsps_public_sw/psp/LinuxPSP/DM814x_04_01/index.html

I was able to get the Code Sourcery cross compiler setup (2009q1) and followed all the u-boot instructions to build the MIN-SD image from he TI wiki page for PSP u-boot as well.

When I go to execute the last step in build, I get the following error as it reaches the mkimage step:

tools/mkimage -T tiimage \ -e 0x40300000 -n ti81xx -d u-boot.bin u-boot.min.sd tools/mkimage: Can't map u-boot.min.sd: Invalid argument Makefile:331: recipe for target 'u-boot.ti' failed make: *** [u-boot.ti] Error 1

I'm compiling under the latest ubuntu 15.04, 64-bit. I have the path setup to point to the Code Sourcery cross compiler and tools folder that comes with the PSP release. Not sure which argument is invalid. the u-boot.min.sd and u-boot.bin files are both present in build directory.

Thanks for any guidance.

Hello,

Are you following this user guide:

Yep, thats the exact one:

U-Boot-MIN for SD boot
U-Boot-MIN of SD boot is meant to be renamed as MLO and stored onto an SD card. It fetches the larger U-Boot image from SD card (if present) and passes control passed to it automatically.
$ make CROSS_COMPILE=arm-none-linux-gnueabi- ARCH=arm distclean
$ make CROSS_COMPILE=arm-none-linux-gnueabi- ARCH=arm ti8148_evm_min_sd
$ make CROSS_COMPILE=arm-none-linux-gnueabi- ARCH=arm u-boot.ti
This will generate a binary named u-boot.min.sd.

I was following these steps for the MIN-SD build. Now, I do get a u-boot.min.sd produced after the last make issued above but the tools/mkimage step appears to fail.

Ok, I found my problem. The absolute path to where I was building u-boot was too long and something choked on it. I simply did the build using a shorter path name and it worked. At first, I thought maybe it was a 32-bit vs 64-bit thing but it works under both.

Hi Alan,

Good to see you have fixed it. Just to mention that the latest DM814x/TI814x PSP is 04.04.00.02 available at the below link:

software-dl.ti.com/.../index_FDS.html

You can use CodeSourcery 2009q1 and Arago 2011 toolchains.
