Compiling u-boot-rpi3 on an rpi3

[James Shuriff]

/boot/msdos is an arbitrary location. It's not even required to mount it. I mount my FAT partition elsewhere. Some boards don't even have u-boot in the filesystem they dd it directly onto the disk. Also consider you don't have to build the port on the Raspberry Pi, so there would be no way to install u-boot from the host system without knowing where the SD card is mounted.

The rpi-firmware port also puts stuff in /usr/local/share. That's the port that has most of the files needed for the Raspberry Pi's FAT partition. Here is a list of the files in the FAT partition and where you can get them from:

/LICENSE.broadcom: rpi-firmware port
/armstub8.bin: rpi-firmware port
/bcm2710-rpi-3-b.dtb: rpi-firmware port
/bootcode.bin: rpi-firmware port
/config.txt: rpi-firmware (config_rpi3.txt)
/dtb/*: FreeBSD Build Output (/usr/obj/usr/src/arm64.aarch64/sys/$KERNCONF/modules/usr/src/sys/modules/dtb or /boot/dtb on the Raspberry Pi)
/fixup*.dat: rpi-firmware port
/overlays/*: rpi-firmware port
/start*.elf: rpi-firmware port
/u-boot.bin: u-boot-rpi3 port

Ok, that did the trick.  Is there some particular reason make install didn't perform the copy?

Thank you very much!
