[U-Boot] Compiling for i386
Hi all, can u-boot be copiled for PC (i.e. x86 machine) and run via qemu. I'd like to use it for educational purposes, so I was wondering what would be the best way to start it withouth the board.

It is probably *much* easier to use one of the supported non-x86 targets. See for example doc/README.qemu_mips

There is an i386 port which I am actively working on, but I have never tried to run it in qemu - I wouldn't imaging it would be that hard, but since I have hardware to run it on, I have not had the need.
to use it for educational purposes, so I was wondering what would be the best way to start it withouth the board.
Does it have to be for the i386 platform? I know there are other ports which are routinely run under qemu and have supporting documentation to help which is a big plus on i386
If you need the i386 port and do manage to get it working under qemu, some documentation on your efforts would be greatly appreciated

Actually, I am interested in ARM platform, but I thought that it would be the easiest solution to avoid croos-copiling for the moment, and just build PC version and run it (like someone would run GRUB) in emulator. Than one would be able to customize commands, debug via GDB connection to qemu, etc.
I took a look at http://thomas.enix.org/Blog-20081002153859-Technologie and it seems a bit complicated for a start.
What platform would you suggest? Is there any other qemu platform port except qemu_mips that exist today? Please, have in mind that I am trying to avoid any use of actual hardware, but only qemu emulator.

Then use one of the supported ARM targets. IIRC, for example the SX1 runs fine under qemu.
Jean-Christophe (on Cc:) should be able to fill in details.
Cross compiling is trivial. Download and install the ELDK, then there you are.
