u-boot v2017.03 cross compilation failed

Hi,

I have tried to compile the u-boot as described from Robert Nelson eewiki but I have ended up with the following compilation error after executing the following steps:

`

make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=${CC} distclean
make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=${CC} omap3_beagle_defconfig
make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=${CC}

`


LD spl/fs/built-in.o
LDS spl/u-boot-spl.lds
LD spl/u-boot-spl
/home/mppdev/gcc-linaro-5.4.1-2017.01-x86_64_arm-linux-gnueabihf/bin/arm-linux-gnueabihf-ld.bfd: u-boot-spl section .rodata' will not fit in region .sram’
/home/mppdev/gcc-linaro-5.4.1-2017.01-x86_64_arm-linux-gnueabihf/bin/arm-linux-gnueabihf-ld.bfd: region .sram' overflowed by 3448 bytes make[1]: *** [spl/u-boot-spl] Error 1 make: *** [spl/u-boot-spl] Error 2

Thanks for your help!

Hi,
I am using the same toolchain as you. But I could not recreate the problem that you faced.
I will list down my steps…

  1. Clone the mainline u-boot . ( git clone git://git.denx.de/u-boot.git)
    I have faced issues too with the ee-wiki sources, but the steps more or less work with mainline sources too, just avoid the patches.)
  2. make clean
  3. make -j4 ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabihf- omap3_beagle_defconfig
  4. make -j4 ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabihf-

This did it for me, no issues faced… have the MLO and u-boot.img generated.
