I believe I have followed each step of the procedure and it went well until then. I just don’t know were should be located this “.config” file and what it should look like.
So after changing the branch of u-boot-toradex to toradex_2020.07 (“git checkout toradex_2020.07”) and exporting the 32 bits compiler, you need to run:
$ make colibri_imx6_defconfig
HOSTCC scripts/basic/fixdep
HOSTCC scripts/kconfig/conf.o
YACC scripts/kconfig/zconf.tab.c
LEX scripts/kconfig/zconf.lex.c
HOSTCC scripts/kconfig/zconf.tab.o
HOSTLD scripts/kconfig/conf
#
# configuration written to .config
#
After that, you can compile your u-boot binary:
$ make -j$(nproc) 2>&1 | tee build.log
Hope everything is clear now.
May I ask you what are you trying to change in u-boot? Normally there is no need to change u-boot at all in our modules. Or if there is something you need to change, it’s better to do it using Yocto instead of manually compiling u-boot.
My mistake, thank you for the support and quick answer.
My main goal is to enable CAN ports on my colibri IMX6. From what I could see from CAN (Linux) | Toradex Developer Center , it looks like I need to rebuild a kernel as the default image does not have those ports enabled. So, I have followed the full procedure to ensure I have full setup in order to do this.
Next step, I will apply the changes as mentioned in the link above and try to rebuilt.
Understood. So in this case, only device tree modifications are needed, you don’t need to make any changes to or compile u-boot. You can compile your Colibri imx6 device tree and send it to your module, by either using Yocto or compiling it manually.
