with 'make at91rm200_config'.  i get the following error:

ln: creating symbolic link 'asm' to 'asm-arm' : Permission denied
make: *** [at91rm9200dk_config] Error 1

Seems you don't have write permissions in the source directory.

No. Don't touch it.

Check who owns the files, and fix ownership / permissions.

Best regards,

[U-Boot-Users] Compiling U-Boot

[Midhun Agnihotram]

Hi All,

   I am compiling U-Boot for my Cogent board (based on Arm 926EJ-S).
For the variable CROSS_COMPILE in the Makefile, should I use
arm-none-gnueabi-gcc or arm-none-linux-gnueabi-gcc ?? I am using the
tool chain by Code sourcery.

  I have this doubt because, for ARCH=i386, i386-linux is the prefix
in the makefile. For PPC, the prefix is powerpc-linux. But as far as I
understand, arm-none-linux-gnueabi-gcc is used to compile applications
which will run on the linux deployed on the kit and not for a native
application like boot loader. The native programs are compiled with
arm-none-gnueabi-gcc. Am I correct??
