Detailed Instructions[edit | edit source]

It is assumed that the development environment has been set up.

  • start the Linux development VM and login into the system
  • open a terminal window and cd into U-Boot source code
cd axel/u-boot
  • in case of needs you can update your local repository with the following git command
git pull
  • configure the build environment
source ~/env.sh
  • enter the source tree directory and run the following commands:
make mx6qdlaxel_defconfig
make


The former command selects the default XELK configuration suitable for latest Axel targets, 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/axel/ with the following command:

cp SPL u-boot.img /tftpboot/axel/
