u-boot build failed

Hi,

I would like build u-boot for my Zedboard but I have some problem.
I am following the tutorial "Ubuntu Desktop Linux".
I set the PATH to : <directory>/SDK/2015.1/gnu/arm/lin/bin
I set the environemment variable CROSS_COMPILE to : arm-xilinx-linux-gnueabi-
I set ARCH to : arm
and when I launch "sudo make distclean" I have this error :
sudo: arm-xilinx-linux-gnueabi-gcc : command nor found
and I don't know why ????

Thanks
Jo

Hi Jo,

Sounds like you are close so lets rule out the simple things first.

Did you verify that your path <directory>/SDK/2015.1/gnu/arm/lin/bin contains that cross compiler executable?

If you run the command 'arm-xilinx-linux-gnueabi-gcc' all by itself, you can verify that your PATH was set correctly.

If the path was set correctly, then the gcc cross toolchain will complain about no input files. If the path is set incorrectly, that gcc executable will not be found.

Regards,

Thanks for your answer.

Yes my PATH is set correctly, "echo $PATH" return me the correct path.
I tried the command 'sudo arm-xilinx-linux-gnueabi-gcc -v' for look if the gcc work correctly in the folder /opt/Xilinx/SDK/2015.1/gnu/arm/lin/bin but when I launch it I have "Command not found". Do it means that the gcc don't work ?

Jo,
Have you gone through all the steps to set up the development environment properly? You have to install the tool chain on your Linux system to have access to the Code Sourcery compiler. The steps to do this are described in a document on this site called VirtualBox and Linux VM installation guide. You can find that under the Zynq Mini-ITX Ubuntu Desktop Linux reference designs.

Hi,

Yes I followed the installation guide.
I use the Code Sourcery compiler that I found in the folder of Xilinx SDK, may be I can't use it but which compiler I should use ?

I found this link : http://www.wiki.xilinx.com/Install+Xilinx+Tools
I have to install ia32-libs but I can't because I use Ubuntu 14.04 and since the Multi Arch this lib don't exist anymore for this version of Ubuntu, may be it's beacause of that I can't compile but how to do ?

Have you looked at Sven Andersson's blog: http://svenand.blogdrive.com/

He has been successfully using PetaLinux under Ubuntu 14.04 so you might want to see if his blog might be helpful.

Hi Jo,
I see you are using Ubuntu 14.04 as your development platform. In my experience using Ubuntu, you are better off using the ARM tool chain instead of Code Sourcery. It's simply easier to get installed and working.
I haven't used 14.04, but if you take a look at the .pdf document included in the Ubuntu Desktop Linux for Zedboard download, there is an Appendix dedicated to the installation of the development environment on Ubuntu 12.04. There may be a few differences in 14.04, but I suspect you have enough Linux background to work around any minor problems. See pages 125-126 for the compiler installation, but it may be beneficial to walk through the entire Appendix starting on page 118.
