How to build and load u-boot for i.MX6UltraLite Evaluation Kit

[kkaras]

Hi,

I'm trying to build u-boot and load it into my mx6ul evk using imx_usb from Boundary Devices. The output from imx_usb states "No dcd table", so I guess my problem is the missing DCD. I'm able to successfully load the u-boot-imx6ulevk_sd.imx file from NXP's prebuilds (L4.1.15_1.1.0_ga_images_MX6ULEVK), so I'm guessing the imx_usb tool is working.

Am I using the correct u-boot repository (and branch)?

u-boot repo (master branch): git://git.denx.de/u-boot.git

I'm building u-boot.imx with (our own crossng cross compiler):

export BUILD_DIR=$PWD/build

export ARCH=arm

export CROSS_COMPILE=arm-unknown-linux-gnueabihf-

export PATH=$PATH:/usr/compiler/arm-unknown-linux-gnueabihf/bin

make O=build mrproper

make O=build mx6ul_14x14_evk_defconfig

make O=build u-boot.imx

Output from imx_usb:

I found the right repo: uboot-imx.git - Freescale i.MX u-boot Tree 

I chose branch imx_v2015.04_4.1.15_1.0.0_ga
