Hello,
I'm new to everything about android and I try to start android on a custom
platform. How can I build the bootloaders and to put android os on that
platform.
Can someone help me?

A VERY vague question. The only thing you are correct on, is that the
bootloader is the first software component that runs when starting a
system. But as Michael replied, without further details like CPU,
memory ... etc, there's very little information you've given us to
help you.

Now, on the other hand, if you are just fishing for information about
embedded and android, I would suggest you buy a beaglebone. Android
has been ported to it and you'll have a better idea of how things work
by studying the related source code and hardware datasheets.

Also extremly interesting are the Allwinner based boards.

Board such as the Olimex Olinuxino's are open source hardware 
(schematics etc available via their github) and are supported (out of 
tree unfortunately for now, but tree is being pulled regularly) by 
u-boot and linux. Usermanuals/datasheets are available for A10, A13 and 
A20 series of chips to study.

You can still use an older version of U-Boot if you need it on this platform.

Hi Cornel,

> The CPU is : samsung s3c6410xh 66

S3C6410 will never die ... due to Tomasz Figa (tom3q) heroic effort :-).

We (mostly Tomasz with my little help) were trying to upstream the
platform again - please follow Tomasz work on github:

https://github.com/tom3q/u-boot/commits/s3c64xx

The s3c6410 support there was up to date with mainline u-boot (up to
v2013.10).

Unfortunately we are now a bit overworked, so feel free to take over
the code and became s3c6410 board maintainer in mainline u-boot.

[U-Boot] new uboot for custom platform

[Cornel Miron]

I've said that I'm new to every ting about bootloaders, I succeeded in
compiling the u-boot for mini6410 but I don't see the files needed to
upload on processor nand.

Where it suppose to build?

Thank you.
