There's a small group forming to work on updating the MAI/AmigaOneG3SE board build for u-boot.

I'm so far unable to get a complete make run through. Strangely, I'm getting an error that there is no .depend target for the _depend to trigger. but the Makefile does include rules.mk same as the sbc8641d Makefile does, and that one seems to build fine, so I'm using that for comparison. If I add a second name to the .depend target .depend $(obj).depend: then it does give a message that two identical names for that target are present, so I believe the rules.mk is being included. I'm struggling to understand this issue.
We've also requested sources from the binary image distributor and are waiting a response. There's an image in my board that works, so someone was able to compile something at some point in the past... I'll try getting that version from git as well and see if it builds that way while we wait for an answer.
If there's any advice available for someone learning their way around u-boot sources and makefiles, we'd appreciate it.
Hi Bill, In board/MAI/AmigaOneG3SE/Makefile some of the files listed in $(COBJS) don't exist, eg ../bios_emulator/x86interface.c. $(SRCS) is created from $(COBJS), which in turn makes the .depend target in rules.mk fail.
It looks like some of the missing files were removed in this commit:
commit 221838cc7eb178370ff62aa05920a582e12ac322 Author: Jason Jin Jason.jin@freescale.com Date: Tue Jul 10 09:03:22 2007 +0800
Remove the bios emulator from MAI board.
The bios emulator in the MAI board can not pass compile and have a lot of crap in it. remove it and will have a clean and small bios emulator in the drivers directory which can be uesed for every board.

However, as Jason noted the AmigaOneG3SE wasn't compiling prior to his commit.
If I were in your shoes I would dig into the current U-Boot code and start getting familiar with it as it will likely take a bit of work to get the AmigaOneG3SE working again. Perhaps if you go far enough back in U-Boot's history you can find a point where the AmigaOneG3SE will compile and run to use as a working reference. If you know which version currently works for you that would be a good starting point.
Best, Peter
