To compile for an embedded target you need a suitable cross compiler. For debian i believe there is a packaged arm compiler so it should just be a matter of sudo apt install gcc-arm-linux-gnueabi export CROSS_COMPILE=gcc-arm-linux-gnueabi make ZedBoard_defconfig make The lastest u-boot does require a fairly up to date gcc for arm. I'm not sure what debian ship. But if you get errors about the cross compiler being too old you might need to grab a more recent compiler from https://www.kernel.org/pub/tools/crosstool/ or the excellent https://toolchains.bootlin.com/ _______________________________________________ U-Boot mailing list [email protected] https://lists.denx.de/listinfo/u-boot
