[sudo make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-unknown-linux-gnu- UImage]

I was moving along relatively pain free when I got stuck at
sudo make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-unknown-linux-gnu- UImage

Here is
ahughes@ahughes-laptop:~/arm9/linux-2.6.25$ echo $PATH
/usr/local/arm/gcc-4.2.3-glibc-2.3.3/arm-unknown-linux-gnu/bin/:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games

Below is the terminal output from sudo make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-unknown-linux-gnu- at91sam9260ek_defconfig which seemed to work fine, followed by sudo make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-unknown-linux-gnu- UImage

Not sure what to do next.
Thanks.

Please try without sudo.  The u in uImage should be small letter not capital.

[sudo chown ahughes * -R]

Ok that helped. I'm using ubuntu and there is no "root" really, and the "linux-2.6.25" directory was owned by root, so I assumed I had to sudo the make command. So I "sudo chown ahughes * -R" the whole directory and the make with uImage worked... almost. It seems I am missing a mkimage command?

The mkimage is part of U-boot utility/tools.  You can download the U-boot source and compile the utility/tools and install it to your desktop machine.

I had this problem as well in the preface to updating the kernel of a GESBC-9260S board, compiling the kernel version 2.6.33 (the latest kernel that has an ARM patch as of this moment).

Since I'm running Ubuntu I tried "apt-cache search uboot" to see if there existed a toolkit that included the "mkImage" utility. It did (called uboot-mkImage) and I installed it (with "sudo apt-get install uboot-mkImage") and compiled again according to the instructions in the GESBC-9260S manual and it worked, now I had a uImage in the arch/arm/boot folder as well as Image and zImage =)
