[U-Boot] FW: u-boot v2016 vs v2013

[Mehmet Ali İPİN]

Dear Estevam,

Thank you for your helps. I finally managed to build u-boot-2018. With these commands:
export CROSS_COMPILE=/opt/gcc-arm-none-eabi-7-2017-q4-major/bin/arm-none-eabi-
 export ARCH=arm
 make distclean
 make mx6sabreauto_defconfig
 make

There are u-boot, u-boot.bin, u-boot.img, ... files, but I could not see u-boot.imx file, which we use it to download to the DDR via USB, with usb_loader program. 

I used u-boot-2016 lately, which was generating .imx file; Do you know if we can generate it with 2018.1?

Best regards.

This is your host PC GCC. You need to upgrade your cross-compile GCC.

Or for a quick test you can do:

git revert 6b867dabe84bae1e7 , which will allow you to build with your old GCC.
