Hello everyone,
I’m trying to build only u-boot for the BBB. I followed many tutorials
http://www.jeh-tech.com/linux_bbb_build.html
https://www.twam.info/hardware/beaglebone-black/u-boot-on-beaglebone-black
https://forum.digikey.com/t/debian-getting-started-with-the-beaglebone-black/12967
but the only thing I have itś a uboot message
U-Boot SPL 2022.07-rc6 (Sep 21 2022 - 11:33:02 +020)
Trying to boot from MMC1
is it normal ?
cheers
Hi @remi-boivin use my directions listed here.
it’s the version of u-boot shipping in our images… Files · v2022.04-bbb.io-am335x-am57xx · BeagleBoard.org / u-boot · GitLab
Regards,
Thanks but I’ve already try this one and it’s the same 
maybe it’s okay and I just need to continue
Try again, but this time report what the BeagleBone Black shows when you try to boot…
Regards,
Okay I try
I follow the tutorial and now I’ve something like

but I don´t have any kernel on the SD only on the EMMC. is it normal ?
Okay, from your dump, U-Boot has been successfully built, installed and loaded… So your original issue is now resolved…
So, next… Did you partition the microSD for the rootfs, build and install your chosen kernel? (Or what Rootfs and kernel combination where you planning?)
Regards,
Okay it’s a good news 
For the kernel not yet. My first goal it’s to boot with u-boot. It’s why I’m a little bit surprise to boot on the emmc kernel. Can I wipe the emmc and/or choose to boot on the sd card ?
Yeap, you can safely erase the eMMC. The production version of u-boot will search both microSD and eMMC… As you can see, it found the /boot/uEnv.txt trigger file on the eMMC and booted the eMMC as directed…
Regards,
How I can do that please ??
From within u-boot run:
=> mmc dev 1
=> mmc erase 0 100000
That’ll erase enough to make the ext4 un-readable…
Regards,
okay thank you very much but how to do it if uboot boot directly to the kernel ?
Open serial terminal, hold space bar, reset BBB…
Regards,
thank you very much. Sorry for the dummies questions but I’ve a last one
I built the kernel according your tutorial but it’s says:

I’m not sure why
Based on your log, everything is fine, it’s going thru all the boot options, before dropping to the final dhcp/pxe boot… It looks like you didn’t copy the rootfs, kernel files, and /boot/uEnv.txt…
Regards,
It’s odd, I copy everything. I’ve all linux directories, the vmlinuz-5.4.209-bone65 and the /boot/uEnv.txt. Is it possible the issue come from the fstab ??
I’ve something like that
/dev/sda1 / auto errors=remount-ro 0 1
fstab would come much later in boot, (you’d see the linux load and run…)…
it would be my guess, you never wrote the data to your microSD, instead another device on your system.
Plug your microSD back into your development host, and type:
lsblk
Then we can re-walk you thru the posted directions…
Regards,
It’s give me:

└─nvme0n1p5
259:5 0 488.1G 0 part /
/dev/sda is my micoSD
I double check and I have the files in the microSD
So it auto-mounted at:
/media/remi/rootfs
Everywhere in the directions i list as /media/rootfs/ change to /media/remi/rootfs/ or unmount and remount it in that location.
I bet there’s a new large directory at /media/rootfs/ on your nvme drive…
Regards,
I restart the copy but it’s say the same
