ive been playing around with the base beagle kernel build and steve sakomans kernels and i dont seem to be getting a uImage in my build products directory: arch/arm/boot

here is the sequence ive been following:

make CROSS_COMPILE=arm-none-linux-gnueabi- distclean
make CROSS_COMPILE=arm-none-linux-gnueabi- omap3_beagle_defconfig
make CROSS_COMPILE=arm-none-linux-gnueabi- uImage  

[pchan@localhost boot]$ ls -lhv
total 5.1M
-rwxrwxr-x 1 pchan pchan 3.4M 2008-07-31 13:45 Image
-rw-rw-r-- 1 pchan root  2.9K 2008-07-29 13:41 Makefile
drwxrwxr-x 2 pchan root  4.0K 2008-07-29 13:41 bootp
drwxrwxr-x 2 pchan root  4.0K 2008-07-31 13:45 compressed
-rw-rw-r-- 1 pchan root  1.3K 2008-07-29 13:41 install.sh
-rwxrwxr-x 1 pchan pchan 1.7M 2008-07-31 13:45 zImage

no uImage available, anybody else experiencing the same issue here?

When you execute the "make uImage" do you see any messages at the end saying something along the lines "mkimage not found" and then "uImage not built"?

If "mkimage" executable is not in your path then the uImage will not be built. The "mkimage" executable is part of u-boot and is found in the "tools" directory for u-boot. Please note that you first need to build u-boot in order to create mkimage.

If you use OpenEmbedded to build the kernel everything happens
automagically :slight_smile:
