Warner's pointer about "make xdev" helped a lot. $ cd /usr/src && make xdev XDEV=arm XDEV_ARCH=arm Then U-boot almost builds with $ cd ~/u-boot $ gmake CROSS_COMPILE=arm-freebsd- am335x_evm_config $ gmake CROSS_COMPILE=arm-freebsd- To actually get it to build, I've had to make two changes to U-Boot sources: * In config.mk, remove "-nostdinc" from CPPFLAGS * In Makefile, add /usr/arm-freebsd/usr/lib/libc.a to PLATFORM_LIBS The first fixes missing stddef.h, stdarg.h headers. (I'm not sure why the -nostdinc works on Linux.) The second is needed to resolve __umodsi3, __udivsi3, etc, functions. (These might be defined in libgcc on Linux, and there's some logic here to try to locate libgcc.) With these, I've been able to rebuild u-boot for the BeagleBone from TI's sources to add the "bootelf" command. (The same changes seem to allow the current source from denx.de to build on FreeBSD.) But ubldr still won't run: U-Boot# fatload mmc 0 0x80008000 ubldr reading ubldr 232591 bytes read U-Boot# bootelf 0x80008000 <hang> Anyone else used U-Boot to run ubldr on Arm? Tim
