Need 'built-in.o' error when compiling U-Boot

Question

I am trying to compile U-Boot for the developer board with armv7 processor. It has a Rockchip RK3288 processor. The commands I use are:

• make evb-rk3288_defconfig
• export CC=/opt/workspace/sdk/gcc-arm-10.3-2021.07-z86_64-arm-none-linux-gnueabihf/bin/arm-none-linux-gnueabihf-

or

• export CC=/opt/workspace/sdk/gcc-linaro-7.5.0-2019.12-x86_64_arm-linux-gnueabihf/bin/arm-linux-gnueabihf-

and then

• make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=$CC

I get an error when I try this way. The error I get is as follows:

Answer 1

The problem is due to incomplete or corrupted downloading of U-Boot files. It should download properly.

When compiling, the make ARCH=arm statement should be removed.
