Instructions[edit | edit source]
It is assumed that the development environment has been set up properly as described here.
- start the Linux development VM and log into the system
- open a terminal window and cd into U-Boot source code
cd ~/desk-mx-l/u-boot
- in case of needs you can update your local repository with the following git command
git pull
- configure the build environment
source ~/desk-mx-l/desk-mx6ul-l-4.0.1_env.sh
- enter the source tree directory and run the following commands:
for the AXEL Ulite EVK
make mx6uldesk_axelulite_defconfig make
for the SBC platform:
make mx6uldesk_lynx_defconfig make
NOTE: this is the default configuration suitable for the latest <SOM> target.
The former command selects the default DESK-MX6UL-L configuration suitable for the latest <SOM> targets (for additional defconfig please refer to the U-Boot defconfigs table above), while the latter builds the U-Boot binary image files (SPL and u-boot.img).
Binary files can be copied to the tftp root directory /tftpboot/desk-mx-l/ with the following command:
cp SPL u-boot.img /tftpboot/desk-mx-l/
Please refer to this page for more information on how to update the bootloader on your board.
