Overview

The U-Boot boot-loader is used for low-level initialization and operating system loading.

Building U-BOOT for i.MX8M-CM

This U-BOOT is based on https://source.codeaurora.org/external/imx/uboot-imx.git, branch imx_v2020.04_5.4.24_2.1.0

Setup the cross compiler and CPU architecture

$ export ARCH=arm64
$ export CROSS_COMPILE=/opt/cross/aarch64-ronetix-linux-10.2/bin/aarch64-ronetix-linux-gnu-

Clone the latest revision of the repo

$ git clone https://github.com/ronetix/u-boot.git u-boot-ronetix --depth=1 -b imx_v2020.04_5.4.24_2.1.0_rnx
$ cd u-boot-ronetix

Configure and build

$ make imx8mq_cm_defconfig
$ make
