Getting U-Boot and patching
Note: Use this guide only if you are building Android with Kernel 3.8
cd ~/
mkdir u-boot-bbb
cd u-boot-bbb
git clone git://git.denx.de/u-boot.git
cd u-boot/
git checkout v2013.04 -b tmp
wget https://raw.github.com/eewiki/u-boot-patches/master/v2013.04/0001-am335x_evm-uEnv.txt-bootz-n-fixes.patch
patch -p1 < 0001-am335x_evm-uEnv.txt-bootz-n-fixes.patch
Compiling U-Boot
We will compile U-Boot using the same toolchain used for compiling the Kernel, and not the one present in Rowboat-Android
export PATH=$PATH:~/linux-dev/dl/gcc-linaro-arm-linux-gnueabihf-4.7-2013.04-20130415_linux/bin/
make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabihf- distclean
make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabihf- am335x_evm_config
make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabihf-
Output files
The output files are ./MLO and u-boot.img. Copy these two files into a new folder in your home directory (i.e.: ~/bbb-android-image)
