Re: [Gumstix-users] Correct U-boot board configuration

Chris, I have managed to compile and flash the new version of u-boot to my gumstix. I took the linux buildroot from the repository and took out the u-boot patch files and make files from /target/arm and replaced the ones on the osx buildroot. I then patched the files using the buildroot make process and then compiled u-boot myself as the buildroot seemed to have difficulty in doing so. I then flashed u-boot.bin to the gumstix and it all works great! In response to your questions I am not sure if I know what you mean but I can explain how I build my build root. All of my cl stuff is done in bash on the terminal. Download the osx version of the buildroot form the svn repository make defconfig Rm .config Make This brings up package selection Sudo make (builds the build root) I compile my build root with arm, gumstix, xscale, 400 target. If I have misunderstood your question please let me know as I am somewhat of a novice at these things and I did not fully understand all of what you said!
