Fetch the source tree by git clone:

git clone git://git.denx.de/u-boot.git


A big change happened to the U-Boot build system at v2014-rc1, 
which is right after v2014.01.

Unlike Linux Kernel, the stable releases are not maintained in U-Boot.
v2014.01 is just a snapshot of the mainline of develepment 3 months ago.

If you want to get a support from the community,
I recommend you to use u-boot/master branch.
