- "u-boot" is an image in ELF binary format
- "u-boot.srec" is in Motorola S-Record format
-By default the build is performed locally and the objects are saved
-in the source directory. One of the two methods can be used to change
-this behavior and build U-Boot to some external directory:
-
-1. Add O= to the make command line invocations:
-
- make O=/tmp/build distclean
- make O=/tmp/build NAME_defconfig
- make O=/tmp/build all
-
-2. Set environment variable KBUILD_OUTPUT to point to the desired location:
-
- export KBUILD_OUTPUT=/tmp/build
- make distclean
- make NAME_defconfig
- make all
-
-Note that the command line "O=" setting overrides the KBUILD_OUTPUT environment
-variable.
-
User specific CPPFLAGS, AFLAGS and CFLAGS can be passed to the compiler by
setting the according environment variables KCPPFLAGS, KAFLAGS and KCFLAGS.
For example to treat all compiler warnings as errors:
CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-linux-gnu- make
+Out-of-tree building
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+By default building is performed locally and the objects are saved in the source
+directory. To build out-out-tree use one of the two methods below:
+
+Add O= parameter to the make command line:
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+ make O=/tmp/build distclean
+ make O=/tmp/build NAME_defconfig
+ make O=/tmp/build
+
+Use environment variable KBUILD_OUTPUT:
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+ export KBUILD_OUTPUT=/tmp/build
+ make distclean
+ make NAME_defconfig
+ make
+
+.. note::
+
+ The command line "O=" parameter overrides the KBUILD_OUTPUT environment
+ variable.
