-Embedded Artists provides patches for u-boot 1.1.6. This is a very old u-boot but we have to use it as our board is not supported on the main u-boot development line. The version of u-boot that we are using, 1.1.6, does not seem to be compilable under Codesourcery g++. A non-EABI tool is needed, like bare metal, therefore crosstool-ng is needed.+===== Building U-boot =====
