U-Boot build instruction do not lead to usable image

[xypron]

When I build U-Boot according to http://wiki.macchiatobin.net/tiki-index.php?page=Build+from+source+-+Bootloader and write it to SD and reboot I always only get

BootROM - 2.03
Starting CP-0 IOROM 1.07
Booting from SD 0 (0x29)
Found valid image at boot postion 0x002
lNOTICE:  Starting binary extension
NOTICE:  Gathering DRAM information
mv_ddr: mv_ddr-armada-17.06.1-g47f4c8b-dirty (Oct 15 2017 - 01:08:50)
mv_ddr: completed successfully

U-Boot never appears.

There are some github repositories that have scripts based on the same directions (e.g. https://github.com/hkominos/ENEA_PicoCluster) but they lead to the same result.

The only working image I found was at https://wiki.solid-run.com/lib/exe/fetch.php?media=products:a8040:software:os:flash-image.bin.gz.

Please, add the missing in information to the build instructions to get a working U-Boot image.

Best regards

You might want to change
– atf build option LOG_LEVEL=20 to LOG_LEVEL=50.
– atf build option DEBUG=0 to DEBUG=1.
– boot device to eMMC.
– boot device to SPI-nor.

I had the same problem and the solution for me was to recompile my x86_64 version of gcc and disable the pie flag. Someone else on the internet deserves credit for this, but I lost the link.

Good luck

would adding -no-pie be sufficient, as per https://askubuntu.com/questions/911538/disable-pie-and-pic-defaults-in-gcc-on-ubuntu-17-04 ?
