After Installing version 15.1 of Ubuntu and following the steps in the wiki, I managed to get the compiler to run.
However at the very end I got the following error message:

"mkimage" command not found - U-Boot images will not be built
arch/arm/boot/Makefile:79: recipe for target 'arch/arm/boot/uImage' failed
make[1]: *** [arch/arm/boot/uImage] Error 1
arch/arm/Makefile:327: recipe for target 'uImage' failed
make: *** [uImage] Error 2

I suspect that the error is related to the fact that "mkimage" is lower case.
When I ran the u-boot compile, I noticed that it was spelled "MKIMAGE", but I couldn't find the corresponding command in the "make uimage" file.

Can someone tell me if I am correct, and if so, how to find where the command is used.

Thanks;

Bill

The mkimage command is part of the u-boot-tools package which you should install as indicated in the "Prerequisites" section at https://github.com/inversepath/usbarmory/wiki/Preparing-a-bootable-microSD-image

Thanks;

Thanks, that worked.
However I need to know how to add the following additional tools: "net-tools" (for ifconfig/iwconfig) and "usb-tools" (? so the 'lsusb' command will work.)

On Ubuntu I think you can install wireless-tools and usbutils packages.

If in doubt you can search on packages.ubuntu.com for package names matching the binaries you need.
