To use it:

$ ./mksunxiboot u-boot.bin u-boot-mmc.bin

Then you can write it to a mmc card with dd. For example if your mmc
card is located in /dev/sdb:

$ sudo dd if=u-boot-mmc.bin of=/dev/sdb bs=1024 seek=8

After inserting your mmc card into your A10 tablet it will boot from it.



Also, it would be nice to see more information here.

Please use a define on the top of file and use it here then.

You mean output_file, right ?
