[U-Boot] how to enable various command support in u-boot-1.3.4?
Dear all, I was using u-boot-1.1.5 all these days. so i decided to use SPI API improvements and some other improvements. so i switched to u-boot 1.3.4 . I'm using AT91SAM9261 board cross compiler with GCC 3.4.1. i was able to compile the u-boot but only few of files compiled. in the /common/ directory i want to compile cmd_fat.c and cmd_spi.c . though these files are there in Makefile im unable to compile. may i know what i need to do to compile these files in u-boot? do i need to enable something? thanks.:confused: warm regards, Ravi Kulkarni

May I ask why you decided to switch from an ancient to a very old version, and not to a current one?
U-Boot 1.3.4 is more than a year old. Current release is v2009.08
Also, GCC 3.4.x is very, very old.
Why are you not using a recent tool chain?

I don't know what you are doing, buyt I can teel you that U-Boot releases 1.3.4 and 2009.08 build fine in all our tests; we used ELDK 3.1.1 (gcc 3.3.3) through ELDK 4.2 (gcc 4.2.2) for this.
If you have problems, then you either must be doing something wrong, oryour tool chain is broken - but you don't provide enough information for any diagnosis of the actual problem.

Why are you not using a recent tool chain? since i use AT91SAM9261 boards the latest patch available for that board is u-boot-1.3.4 so i used u-boot-1.3.4. i used 2009-08 version and compiled but there is no support patch file for tat. i got this info frm linux4sam.org.
compile the u-boot but only few of files compiled. in the /common/ directory i want to compile cmd_fat.c and cmd_spi.c . though these files are there in Makefile im unable to compile. may i know what i need to do to compile these files in u-boot? do i need to enable something? thanks.:confused:

If you have problems, then you either must be doing something wrong, oryour tool chain is broken - but you don't provide enough information for any diagnosis of the actual problem. All i was tryin to do is to compile cmd_fat.c and cmd_spi.c files /common/ folder. im not saying that i cant compile u-boot . i was able to compile u-boot but with only less commands. i wanted to use fatls and fatload , sspi and some other commands. these files are there in makefile but still i cant compile them. i tried modifying Makefile by changing this particular line COBJS-$(CONFIG_CMD_FAT) += cmd_fat.o to COBJS-y += cmd_fat.o but the compiler gave a error which im posting here
common/libcommon.a(cmd_fat.o): In function `do_fat_fsload': /home/ravikulkarni/dasuboot_airforce/u-boot-1.3.4/common/cmd_fat.c:64: undefined reference to `fat_register_device' /home/ravikulkarni/dasuboot_airforce/u-boot-1.3.4/common/cmd_fat.c:73: undefined reference to `file_fat_read' common/libcommon.a(cmd_fat.o): In function `do_fat_ls': /home/ravikulkarni/dasuboot_airforce/u-boot-1.3.4/common/cmd_fat.c:123: undefined reference to `fat_register_device' /home/ravikulkarni/dasuboot_airforce/u-boot-1.3.4/common/cmd_fat.c:130: undefined reference to `file_fat_ls' common/libcommon.a(cmd_fat.o): In function `do_fat_fsinfo': /home/ravikulkarni/dasuboot_airforce/u-boot-1.3.4/common/cmd_fat.c:168: undefined reference to `fat_register_device' /home/ravikulkarni/dasuboot_airforce/u-boot-1.3.4/common/cmd_fat.c:172: undefined reference to `file_fat_detectfs'
but i have checked tat all these functions are defined in fat.h so i may know what exactly is going wrong? and can anybody give a link for the latest toolchain which is advisable to compile u-boot? thanks a lot for ur reply

There are several configurations for the at91sam9261ek board supported in recent U-Boot. Please look again.

You must not trry to compile single files, because you most likely don't get the required options right. Just add these features into your board configuration.
i tried modifying Makefile by changing this particular line COBJS-$(CONFIG_CMD_FAT) += cmd_fat.o to COBJS-y += cmd_fat.o but the compiler gave a error which im posting here
Don't do this. Instead, just add CONFIG_CMD_FAT to your board config file, usualklky include/configs/<name>.h
Then run "make <name>_config" and "make all"

thanks a lot Deng. sorry about previous message postin tat way. Now i was able to compile cmd_fat.c by adding tat CONFIG_CMD_FAT in /include/configs/at91sam9261ek.h. Now i want to use the atmel_spi.c driver in /drivers/spi. can u let me know what to add in the config file? i tried adding if define CONFIG_ATMEL_SPI AT91SAM9261_ID_SPI0 so that it used BUS0 of the atmel SPI controller but the compiler again gave some error which was similar to previous error which i posted . thanks a lot . warm regards, Ravi Kulkarni.

yeah u are right denk. sorry i addressed as deng in last message. i added CONFIG_CMD_FAT in my config file /include/configs/at91sam9261ek.h and cmd_fat.c got compiled . on these lines Now i want to compile the file /drivers/spi/atmel_spi.c , so enabled #define CONFIG_ATMEL_SPI 1 in config file but the compiler gave errors. can anybody let me know how to enable this driver in the config ?

You may also want to read http://catb.org/esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
How do you expect us to help when all information you provide is "the compiler gave errors"? Do you think we can guess what your code looks like, which commands you used, or what the error messages might have been?

Dear wolfgang denk, please review and let me know if this is right way of posting. thanks for both the links. yeah sorry about top posting full quote . Now im trying to follow those rules in the links which u have given to me.

Now im writing in detail what im trying to do. all i want to do is compile the file in /drivers/spi/atmel_spi.c which is nothin but initialize the SPI controller in u-boot for my board AT91SAM9261. so i added the lines #define CONFIG_ATMEL_SPI 1 #define CONFIG_CMD_SPI 1 in my config file which is located at /include/configs/at91sam9261ek.h but as i said i got a error which im posting below . may i know what is going wrong? thanks for those links again. this is error i got when i was compiling uboot.
make -C drivers/spi/ make[1]: Entering directory `/home/ravikulkarni/dasuboot_airforce/u-boot-1.3.4/drivers/spi' /opt/timesys/toolchains/armv5l-linux/bin/armv5l-linux-gcc -g -Os -fno-strict-aliasing -fno-common -ffixed-r8 -msoft-float -malignment-traps -D__KERNEL__ -DTEXT_BASE=0x27D00000 -I/home/ravikulkarni/dasuboot_airforce/u-boot-1.3.4/include -fno-builtin -ffreestanding -nostdinc -isystem /opt/timesys/toolchains/armv5l-linux/lib/gcc/armv5l-linux/3.4.1/include -pipe -DCONFIG_ARM -D__ARM__ -march=armv4 -mapcs-32 -march=armv5te -mtune=arm926ejs -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -c -o atmel_spi.o atmel_spi.c atmel_spi.c: In function `spi_setup_slave': atmel_spi.c:51: error: `SPI0_BASE' undeclared (first use in this function) atmel_spi.c:51: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once atmel_spi.c:51: error: for each function it appears in.) atmel_spi.c:73: warning: implicit declaration of function `get_spi_clk_rate' make[1]: *** [atmel_spi.o] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/ravikulkarni/dasuboot_airforce/u-boot-1.3.4/drivers/spi' make: *** [drivers/spi/libspi.a] Error 2
I'm thinking we have to write an init function in the file /board/atmel/at91sam9261ek/at91sam9261ek.c defining which pins and all? am i right?
warm regards, Ravi Kulkarni.
