Dear Dimax,

Well so far no luck, Actually I'm not sure how to start. But I will try to go on "with a little help from my friends".
I) The first question that raised is a compiler. I see two options:
- Use the cross compiler - this is what more likely most of the people
are doing. 2. I wonder if I can use native compiler? I actually have a number of running SheevaPlugs with gcc installed on them. Do you think it will work?
Both should work, if you need an cross compiler have a look at ELDK [1]
II) After extracting files I have following tree:
u-boot_2012.04.01-2_armel.deb
Wrong file! Please use the source from denx.de, either git from git://git.denx.de/u-boot.git or a released version from ftp://ftp.denx.de/pub/u-boot
<snip debian package content>
According to README all I have to do is to run make NAME_config The sheevaplug is listed in boards.cfg so there should be no problem to make sheevaplug_config.
Thats true for native build (never tested, may not work)
You will need some compiler flags: CROSS_COMPILE (prefix for 'gcc' when cross compiling) PATH (should contain your toolchain)
I would build it that way:
---8<--- abiessmann@azuregos % PATH=$ARMv5_PATH:$PATH CROSS_COMPILE=arm-v5te-linux-gnueabi- make O=/tmp/build_sheevaplug sheevaplug_config Configuring for sheevaplug board... abiessmann@azuregos % PATH=$ARMv5_PATH:$PATH CROSS_COMPILE=arm-v5te-linux-gnueabi- make O=/tmp/build_sheevaplug all

In this case I do not get what are the other two directory and file: u-boot_2012.04.01-2_armel.deb debian/
To my understanding debian/ is some port but I do not see any makefile where. So not sure hot to use it?
Well, that is a pre-compiled debian package for armel. The debian directory contains some information for the debian package system.
