There is no problem at “Build U-boot step”.
$ source setenv.sh : Done
$ make uboot : Done

  • Power on the board and enter the U-Boot console : Done
  • Copy u-boot.bin.signed into an SD card or thumbdrive : Done
  • Insert the SD card or thumbdrive into the board : Done

You can follow another method to upgrade the U-Boot. Copy the debian package and install under linux.

You mean… like as below ?

  1. not ‘$make uboot’ but ‘$make uboot-deb’

right ?

10

Yes, this way is more easy.

11

OK, thanks a lot.
U-boot has updated well using this method.

12

I have one more question.
I installed fenix by selecting ubuntu in setenv. Can I do ‘$make uboot-deb’ as it is?
Or do I have to ‘$make uboot-deb’ after installing fenix by selecting Debian from setenv?

13

Yes, you can, it doesn’t depend on the distributions you select.

14

I understand. Thank you.

Can you provide steps if I made something wrong ?

For example if I installed my new U-Boot and after that that system hangs boot process.
