[U-Boot] how to enable various command support in u-boot-1.3.4?

[sunr2007]

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.

Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk

Dear sunr2007,

Please make sure to read http://www.netmeister.org/news/learn2quote.html

Your message is next to impossible to read as we cannot see who wrote
what.

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.

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"

[U-Boot] how to enable various command support in u-boot-1.3.4?

[sunr2007]

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.

[U-Boot] how to enable various command support in u-boot-1.3.4?

[sunr2007]

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 ?

[U-Boot] how to enable various command support in u-boot-1.3.4?

[Wolfgang Denk]

Dear sunr2007,

I asked you before: please make sure to read
http://www.netmeister.org/news/learn2quote.html
and then follow the rules.

Especially, do not top-post / full-quote.

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?



Best regards,

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. 

>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
l>ike, which commands you used, or what the error messages might have
>been?

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'

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.
