U-boot build fails

Steven Kane

Hello,

I was following the directions at http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/GSG:_AM35x_EVM_Software_Setup#Installing_the_software to get my board booted up but the u-boot build is failing. After following the instructions in the sections 'Installing the Target Linux Software', 'Installing the Toolchain' and 'Setting Up The Build/Development Environment', I tried the instructions under 'Rebuilding U-boot'. All of the commands worked except the last one to actually build u-boot (make CROSS_COMPILE=arm-none-linux-gnueabi- ARCH=arm), with the output pasted below. I am running Ubuntu 10.04 LTS - the Lucid Lynx and apparently, there may be a path issue regarding the 'arm-none-linux-gnueabi-gcc' compiler. But I am not so sure because I verified that the compiler is in my path and I tried logging out and logging back in, changing terminals etc. but I still get the errors saying that the compiler cannot be found. Here is my path variable: ~/toolchain/arm-2009q1/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games.

Also, here is the output when I run the command 'arm-none-linux-gnueabi-gcc –v':

Using built-in specs.

Any help is appreciated. Thank you.

Hi Steven,

I'm not sure what your problem is, but I'm wondering how you set your PATH variable.

Did you do something similar to this execept with your specific path to your compiler tools:

PATH=$PATH:/opt/arm-2009q1/bin:

export PATH

hello, it seems we have the same problem, i was following the instructions in this wiki

http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/DM6467_EVM_Installation

but in the section Prerequisites For Build y Building U-Boot, i get the same eroor as you, i see an interesting answer, but i dont know how to set a variable in the bash, like the wiki says, i wonder if you colud resolve this, since this is a late post, because i get the same error, and by the way, satrted a post on this matter but nobody answered me yet.

well, i managed to buil uboot.bin, how, i just set the crooscompiler variable in the file .bashrc in the home directory, and added in this variable, the path of my compiler, in my case were export CROSS_COMPILE=/opt/arm-2009ql/arm-none-gnuebi/bin, its not exactly how i put it, but its pretty similar, in the following link are the steps i used to do that

http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/DM6467_EVM_Installation#Flashing_UBL_to_NAND

i was stucked in Building U-Boot, but now i finally created the image, and now im in the step Flashing UBL and U-Boot to NAND using Serial Flasher, because i succesfully created the uboot.bin and davinciUBLais.bin, and alredy have the sfh_DM646x.exe, this was a tool that comed with the board-utilities-dm646x.rar. Ok, so i typed sfh_DM646x.exe -p COM1 -nandflash -UBLStartAddr 0x20 davinciUBLais.bin u-boot.bin
in wondows command promt and after it finishes it displays only BOOTME at the end, i closed the prompt and now switched SW3[0-3]:1110, then opened terater, and connected it via UART mode, and the following message displays in the window

Booting PSP Boot Loader
