cd ~/android_rls/bootloader 
git clone git://git.omapzoom.org/repo/u-boot.git u-boot 
cd u-boot
git checkout -b <name-of-new-branch> <based-on-some-commit-ID>

    Hello Younger,

    The page you are referring to contains generic information on how to build a bootloader. For specific branch and commit IDs you will need to refer to a specific software release. Releases on OMAP TI platforms can be found here: http://omappedia.org/wiki/Release_Notes. It is advisable to use one of the latest releases, such as http://omappedia.org/wiki/4AJ.2.1_OMAP4_Jelly_Bean_Release_Notes

    If you look in this release notes, you will find specific branch and commit ID you will need to do to get your u-boot code, under Section 3: 

    To obtain U-Boot Sourcesfollow:

    cd ${YOUR_PATH}
git clone git://git.omapzoom.org/repo/u-boot.git u-boot
cd u-boot
git checkout a7a88624fb4d9b39c2a308c89d1d5ffb239072a9

    Regards,
    Magdalena

    Hi
    Additional to Magdalena information.
    If you are working on Pandaboard ES, you might want to look at this release notes:
    For the command you ask
    git checkout -b <name-of-new-branch> <based-on-some-commit-id>
    <name of new branch>
    is anything you want, as long as it is meaningful for you, i.e. panda_experiment, bugtrakingID_10242012, etc
    <based on some commit id>
    you can see the commit ID's if you run "git log", and it refers to the point where you want to start a new branch.

    This command creates a new branch, based on the commit ID you provide.

    If you only want to download and build the code, then you may omit the -b <name of new branch> parameter, like in the release notes.

    Regards

    Rafael
