c. Run MSYS 6
2. UNPACKET U-BOOT SOURCE CODE 7
3. INSTALL SOURCERY CODEBENCH LITE EDITION FOR ARM 7
4. INSTALL NTFS JUNCTION TOOL 9
5. MODIFY U-BOOT MAKEFILE AND MACONFIG 10
6. BUILD U-BOOT 11
BUILDING U-BOOT IN ECLIPSE 13

DEBUGING U-BOOT IN ECLIPSE 25
1. SETUP A DEBUG CONFIGURATION 25
a. Main tab: 25
b. Debugger tab: 27
c. Commands tab: 27
d. Source tab: 28
2. START DEBUG 29
a. Powerup board 30
b. Start J-link GDB Server 30
c. Start Eclispse Debug sesion 30
APPENDIX A 33
AT91SAM9263EK GDB ‘INITIALIZE’ COMMAND 33

APPENDIX C 39

U-Boot relocation and Debug
The relocation on arm is working, before u-boot-2010.09,there are two define CONFIG_SKIP_RELOCATE_UBOOT and CONFIG_SKIP_LOWLEVEL_INIT, when they
are defined in your board configuration header file (in my case ,it is \include\configss\am9263ek.h),you can use GDB init command to do some low level initializations (like setting up CLOCK and SDRAM),and just load u-boot, and you can debug all the source code in Eclipse CDT.
After u-boot-2011.03, the relocation on arm are change,The CONFIG_SKIP_RELOCATE_UBOOT does not exist. This PDF document describe two methods to debug U-Boot code before and after relocation.
Before read this document < U-Boot relocation and Debug>,read my another document <Building and Debuging U-Boot in Eclipse Helios On Window XP> at first.

Thanks your great post.
Can you upload patch file for uboot Makefile and mkconfig.

i got An better way to build and debug u-boot,get more build speed!
