Compiling u-boot

[hammerinhank]

Would one or all of the Marvel engineers here please follow the instructions posted in http://plugcomputer.org/plugforum/index.php?topic=183.0  and download the sources from here http://www.plugcomputer.org/index.php/us/resources/downloads?func=select&id=6 and compile and boot u-boot  and post your finding?   

Following the directions and using the cross compiler chain I downloaded from the website, I am not able to compile this.  I get several undefines.  Specifically MV_BOOTSIZE_16M, CFG_MONITOR_LEN, CFG_ENV_SECT_SIZE, CFG_MONITOR_IMAGE_DST. 

After defining them in mvSysHwConfig.h with seemingly reasonable values from other header files, the linker fails with many undefined references regarding the USB stack.

Before I spend time sorting this out I would like to verify that we are all on the same page.

Thank you.

The thread u pointed is a little messy...
Pls describe your exact steps.

Please do the following:
1) tar jxvf u-boot-1.1.4.tar.bz2
2) mv u-boot-1.1.4 u-boot-3.4.16
3) unzip u-boot-3.4.16 (this will overwriting existing files)
4) cd u-boot-3.4.16
5) make mrproper
6) make rd88f6281Sheevaplug_config NBOOT=1 LE=1
 7) make

The output should be u-boot-rd88f6281Sheevaplug_400db_nand.bin

Yes, it is messy.  That's why I started a new topic.

Following kwonsk's  instructions.

I've read build instruction from mavell documents set. Basically philipl's instruction is correct.
1) tar jxvf u-boot-1.1.4.tar.bz2
2) mv u-boot-1.1.4 u-boot-3.4.16
3) unzip u-boot-3.4.16 (this will overwriting existing files)
4) cd u-boot-3.4.16
5) tar zxvf sd.tgz
6) Copy attatched mv_kw.h to include/configs/mv_hw.h
7) make rd88f6281Sheevaplug_config NBOOT=1
    make clean; make

I'm just trying to compile it, so I'm not using the sd part, but either one did not work for me.

Please do the following:
1) tar jxvf u-boot-1.1.4.tar.bz2
2) mv u-boot-1.1.4 u-boot-3.4.16
3) unzip u-boot-3.4.16 (this will overwriting existing files)
4) cd u-boot-3.4.16
5) make mrproper
6) make rd88f6281Sheevaplug_config NBOOT=1 LE=1
 7) make

The output should be u-boot-rd88f6281Sheevaplug_400db_nand.bin

Yup, that didn't work for me.

Can you put the outout of your compilation?

Are you working under Ubuntu/Fedora...

[hammerinhank]

Working under Ubuntu 9.04 on an intel box.   I'm using the cross compiler from http://www.plugcomputer.org/index.php/us/resources/downloads?func=showdown&id=22

[yotam]

This U-boot version was developed under Fedora.
I am not familiar with you version of Ubuntu but from your first message I can understand that you need to remove the '-e' in line 1745 in the root Makefile
'@echo -e "CPP...
1. Please recreate the source tree
2. Try to modify the Makefile
3. Recompile

[hammerinhank]

Thank you very much.  Problem Solved.

Please do the following:
1) tar jxvf u-boot-1.1.4.tar.bz2
2) mv u-boot-1.1.4 u-boot-3.4.16
3) unzip u-boot-3.4.16 (this will overwriting existing files)
4) cd u-boot-3.4.16
5) make mrproper
6) make rd88f6281Sheevaplug_config NBOOT=1 LE=1
7) make

The output should be u-boot-rd88f6281Sheevaplug_400db_nand.bin

The final instruction to compile U-Boot is "make all", not make.  This will fix your compile errors.

edit: this ought to fix your compile errors.  it fixed my mainline u-boot compile errors, at least, which looked very very very similar to the errors you are experiencing.

edit2: my undefined reference was at a latter step, never mind.  still, the mainline uboot sequence is make board_config; make all;
