yocto and bitbake

Hello,

I started to work with yocto linux and bitbake. Therefore, I followed some howtos to understand the topic. One of them [1] describes the way to use a self compiled preloader/bootloader, kernel and filesystem. I don't understand how the command: bitbake u-boot

knows, which preloader or bootloader it has to bake?

Can somebody help me to solve these puzzels?

Greetings,

Stefan

    They suggest 12.04, I'm using 12.04 LTS. What's the problem? Why would it work on the command line but not with bitbake?

    But thank you for replying, because it's nice to know that some people reply! Some threads don't get any replies.

    could you show which kernel version and page you refer to build your kernel? you need to use the OS version exactly or slightly newer, from my past experience is that you getting so much trouble for all prerequisite tools with your operating system !
