Topic: How to build U-boot with specific toolchain in OpenWRT

Hi All,

Kindly help me with below queries,

1. How to compile U-boot alone with OpenWRT SDK ??

2. I'm using external 64-bit toolchain (Included through menuconfig) for compiling kernel. Kernel was compiled successfully.  Now I need to compile U-boot with 32-bit toolchain, How can I add another toolchain only for U-boot in OpenWRT SDK ??

Kindly please give me some key points to compile U-boot with specific toolchain..

Thanks,
Vigneshwaran R

Do anyone have Idea on this ??

Being a piece of software, the bootloader is considered part of the firmware, but the bootloader is not part of OpenWrt!
Only on seldom occasions a change of the bootloader settings or the bootloader code is necessary to allow for booting/installing OpenWrt
