Regrets to post the first question as a naive user. I downloaded the U-Boot source code. In order to build it for the x86 target, I tried following commands. make x86_config, make x86_config
Well, unfortunately it's not that easy. You will have to call make with a board configuration as parameter. Please read the README.
But the make stops saying that no such rule to make. In the Makefile of the sources I found that i386 target is located but no rules had been mentioned to make it. Somebody just guide me towards building the U-Boot for building to x86 architecture. I am not having special embedded board and so I am planning to use x86 as the target.
To do this you will have to port U-Boot to your hardware. Please note that support for x86 is kind of weak so far. Take a look at "cpu/i386" and grep for CONFIG_X86. Beware, this is really a nontrivial task - probably not the easiest way to become acquainted with U-Boot.
