I've "successfully" built my u-boot port (it doesn't throw warnings/error).
To do so I just copied some u-boot.lds from some other port. I know that the u-boot.lds is a linker script that instructs the linker to put code elements together in some specific way. At least the first part does so. But the lower parts of the u-boot.lds I copied seem to be increasingly deep magic. So... what does the u-boot.lds do exactly and what happens if mine is wrong/broken? And why do I need it anyway?
The built put out the following things in the main directory:
-rwxr-x--- 1234997 Jan 19 12:51 u-boot -rwxr-x--- 171372 Jan 19 12:51 u-boot.bin -rw-r----- 94836 Jan 19 12:51 u-boot.map -rwxr-x--- 514202 Jan 19 12:51 u-boot.srec
there are some parts that probably are important in board/esm (my board's directory) too:
-rw-r----- 17000 Jan 17 16:05 esm.o -rw-r----- 17176 Jan 17 16:05 libesm.a
Does that look reasonable/good?
