Other than that I re-execute the procedure and I got the same errors at the same point. Hi the attached file you can find what I get on the Le Potato UART console using your .bin. They both should result in a fully functional mainline u-boot, but the experimental build process opens a path to avoid using obsolete tools to build u-boot for Amlogic 64-bit SoC's, something I believe will benefit the entire community. Please test first the standard build, then the experimental build processes. So the u-boot build process that before took 20 minutes, now takes 15 minutes or so.Īgain, I would be really, really grateful if anybody could test the instructions in the howto and verify that they produce a fully functional mainline u-boot with all the latest and greatest features for your Le Potato.ġ) Fixed some typos in the HOWTO and cheat sheet that would prevent the blob signing commands from executing.Ģ) Most importantly, I have added an experimental cheat sheet that describes the blob build process using a 64-bit (x86-64) aarch64 gcc from January 2017 instead of the presently used 32-bit (i386) compiler from November 2013. Just a quick note: I have added a "cheat sheet" to my mainline u-boot build howto, from which the commands can be directly (but not blindly) copy-pasted into a terminal. Hey is that just for building u-boot or u-boot with the UEFI magic used on the new libre computer images?

(actually it's supposed to be for the La Frite when this starts shipping, but right now it's for the Le Potato)
Hello Le Potato hackers, I have a small favor to ask of you: I just wrote a Howto cross-compile mainline u-boot for your "Le Potato"
