U-Boot Development

Prerequisites​

You need to have Visual Studio Code and Docker environment set up in advance, then use Dev Container to run the U-Boot compilation environment.

Reference Tutorial

You can follow the tutorial below to complete the environment setup for U-Boot development.

Download U-Boot Source Code​

Use the git clone command to clone the U-Boot source code.

Linux@host$
git clone --recurse-submodules <git_repo_url>

Replace <git_repo_url> with: https://github.com/radxa-pkg/u-boot-aw2501.git

Start Development Environment​

Open the U-Boot source code directory with Visual Studio Code: The Dev Container extension will usually automatically detect the configuration file in the folder and prompt you to reopen in the container development environment.

tip

When starting the development environment for the first time, Dev Containers will automatically download and install dependencies. Please be patient as this may take some time.

  1. Click the Remote option in the bottom-left corner
  2. Select the Reopen in Container option

Compile U-Boot​

After starting the development environment, use the make deb command to compile U-Boot.

PC@host$
make deb
