[U-Boot-Users] Hi, I am a new

[VanBaren, Gerald (AGRE)]

Welcome...

Read the DULG manual (ignore the 8xx references, most of it applies to any target)
  http://www.denx.de/twiki/bin/view/DULG/Manual

* Cygwin is a painful way to build u-boot.  You are much better off using linux.  People have worked at supporting building u-boot under cygwin, but it is not a well supported option and I'm not sure if it even works.

* Yes, you need an ARM cross compiler before you will get anywhere.

* Everything you need except the OS is available from the www.denx.de web site.  Your best approach is to set up an environment that closely mimics Wolfgang's, which means using ELDK (provides your cross compilers).  Supported operating systems (note Cygwin is not listed):
  http://www.denx.de/twiki/bin/view/DULG/ELDKSupportedHostSystems

* If your environment is set up correctly and all the proper support software is loaded and running, you won't have to worry about what is in arm_config.mk.  Chasing changes in the makefiles is going to eat up much more time than setting up a compatible environment.
