    $ cd bootload/uboot
    $ ./mk TARGET

  • Copy files to output directory

    $ cd PATH_YOUR_PROJECT
    $ cp bootloader/uboot/build/u-boot.bin out/target/product/TARGET/bootloader.img
    $ cp bootloader/uboot/build/u-boot.bin.usb.bl2  out/target/product/TARGET/upgrade/
    $ cp bootloader/uboot/build/u-boot.bin.usb.tpl  out/target/product/TARGET/upgrade/
    $ cp bootloader/uboot/build/u-boot.bin.sd.bin   out/target/product/TARGET/upgrade/

  • Package Update Image

    $ ./vendor/amlogic/common/tools/aml_upgrade/aml_image_v2_packer  -r out/target/product/TARGET/upgrade/aml_upgrade_package_avb.conf
    out/target/product/TARGET/upgrade/ out/target/product/TARGET/update.img

  • Rebuild Logo Image.(About more informations,You can refer to Build Bootup Logo For U-boot)

    Only Change the DTB or Kernel

  • Rebuild DTB and Kernel
