Using u-boot on Creator (Ci40) Marduk platform

Toolchain setup

If you are using the toolchain produced by OpenWrt you must setup the environment as explained here.

For the MIPS official toolchain see here.

If building your own toolchain then note binutils-2.33.1 or earlier is required.

Configure and build it

$ make CROSS_COMPILE=<toolchain-prefix> pistachio_marduk_defconfig
$ make CROSS_COMPILE=<toolchain-prefix>

This will generate u-boot-pistachio_<board_name>-<version>.img

eg. u-boot-pistachio_marduk-2015.10-v1.0.4.img

OR u-boot-pistachio_<board_name>-<version>-<githash>.img, if there are extra commits above the tag.

e.g. u-boot-pistachio_marduk-2015.10-v1.0.4-g75cbe38.img

Flash it onto your Ci40
