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 login 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 ~/env.sh
  • enter the source tree directory and run the following commands:

For MITO 8M Mini

make imx8mm_mito8mmini_defconfig
make

For ORCA

make imx8mp_mito8mplus_defconfig
make

NOTE: this is the default configuration suitable for latest <SOM> target.

The former command selects the default DESK-MX8M-L configuration suitable for 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.
