U-Boot with SPL

[CodeNinja89]

Hi,
I'm compiling U-Boot for Sun6i (Allwinner A31s). To compile u-boot with spl, I did:

make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabihf- sun6i CONFIG_SPL=y

It does everything but in the end it says:

spl/u-boot-spl.lds:1: ignoring invalid character `#' in expression
arm-linux-gnueabihf-ld:/root/lin-sun/u-boot-allwinner-sunxi-a31-d794569/spl/u-boot-spl.lds:1: syntax error
make[2]: *** [/root/lin-sun/u-boot-allwinner-sunxi-a31-d794569/spl/u-boot-spl] Error 1

and I do not get any u-boot-with-spl.bin

Any help?

if its any help, I'll put my generated lds file

//#define CONFIG_SYS_MONITOR_BASE 0x00000000

Hi @CodeNinja89 , I could fix the very same issue in other repository I had by removing "-ansi" cpp flag from the Makefile (I think that ./spl/Makefile is enough). I'm trying to build .spl file for this platform too (sun6i) but I cannot go any further than:
make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabihf- sun6i CONFIG_SPL=y
make: *** No rule to make target sun6i'. Stop. I even tried: make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabihf- sun6i_config CONFIG_SPL=y make: *** No rule to make targetsun6i_config'. Stop.
make: *** [sun6i_config] Error 1

What did you do in order to overcome this problem?

Thanks!!

sun6i is not yet supported by sunxi u-boot.

Additionally

To build u-boot for your board you have to "make yourboardname" if your
board is alreday supported by u-boot. The SPL is different for every
hardware, not only CPU type.

If your board is not yet supported by u-boot then some additional steps
are needed to collect the information u-boot needs for SPL. See
http://linux-sunxi.org/New_Device_howto
