DM355 U-Boot Compile

Did you type

> make mrproper

Before you tried 'make dm355_evm_config'; FYI, make mrproper is similar to make clean for u-boot.  I was getting errors (not as many though) before I execited the above command.

Yep, the cleaning appeared to do good things, but the make config just stops with the error:

: invalid option
make: *** [dm355_evm_config] Error 1

This is odd as it worked for me; can you check your Makefile (at root u-boot source tree directory) and ensure dm355_evm_config is a valid build option.  From the error, it appears it is having difficulty finding all the files associated with this configuration, so the Makefile would be a good place to start tracing from.  Optionally, you can just untar u-boot source tree again and maybe that fixes things.  Finally, I would try building as the root (as opposed to <user>).

These are just some ideas to try, please let us know your results.
