Atmel AT91SAM9260 Build - mkimage command not found

Feb 21, 2007 2 Replies

Hi everyone,



I'm attempting to build the Linux kernel for the first time ever, targeting my AT91SAM9260-EK development board. I'm following the guidelines at this link

and I've come across a problem at the step where I make uImage. I'm getting an error saying "mkimage command not found - U-Boot images will not be built". This being my first time rebuilding the kernel, I'm completely new to all of this, so any help would be appreciated. Obviously I need the mkimage tool, but I'm not sure where I can get this. I've seen online that it comes with U-Boot, so I may need to download the U-Boot source and compile it, correct? Do I compile for my host machine, or for my target ARM machine? Is there a pre-built version anywhere? Anything else I should know?



Thanks, Alex Parkinson

Alex, As you already know mkimage is included in u-boot sources. However you can download an executable binary from here: ftp://ftp.koansoftware.com/public/linux/mkimage

Perfect! Thanks so much. It's now successfully compiling.
