P5040-RDB Latest U-Boot binary

Cole_B — Tue, 20 May 2025 15:16:50 GMT

Hi,

I am having trouble finding the latest U-Boot binary for the P5040-RDB. In the QorIQ SDK 2.0, I found the U-Boot binary for the P5040-DS. However, this file is too big for the U-Boot memory region on the RDB (512 KB). Where can I find the latest U-Boot binary for the P5040-RDB?

Thanks

Dear @Cole_B,
you can get the U-Boot binary once you have performed the build process.
Contents of the Built Images Directory:
A Yocto Project build produces images that will be located in the following directory:
<sdk-install-dir>/build_<machine>/tmp/deploy/images/<machine>/
if you follow the path you will search for the next images:
• u-boot-<machine>.bin - U-Boot binary image that can be programmed into board Flash
• fsl-image-<machine>.ext2.gz.u-boot - ramdisk image that can be loaded with U-Boot.
....among others.

please review the Chapter 3 "Getting Started" for complete details, or you can jump direct to the "3.2 Essential Build Instructions" at QORIQ-SDK-2.0 user guide.
to download the SDK use the link

Once I reach the ./fsl-setup-env -m <machine> step, I can see that the p5040rdb is not in the list I can choose from. I already built one for the p5040ds but like I said the u-boot binary is too large for the p5040rdb. Where can I find the one for the p5040rdb?

please build one for the P5040RDB instead P5040QDS

I don't see that as an option. I downloaded the latest QorIQ SDK 2.0 and when I run fsl-setup-env, this is the output:

./fsl-setup-env -m p5040rdb
p5040rdb is not supported by this build setup.

Is there a different version that supports the P5040RDB?

dear Cole_B,

please use the SDK 1.4 version.
use the link I shared above, once you are there select the tab "PREVIOUS" and look for the 1.4 in the column version

Hi,

I tried setting it up on the QorIQ-SDK-V1.4-20130625-yocto. I see the same result where the p5040ds is supported but the rdb is not.
