Getting the Source
To get the source code for U-Boot, clone a copy of the Linaro U-Boot stable tree:
mkdir pandaboard-es cd pandaboard-es git clone git://git.linaro.org/boot/u-boot-linaro-stable.git cd u-boot-linaro-stable git checkout -b pandaboard-es origin/Linaro-u-boot-2011.12
As of 12/18/2011, the master branch tagged Linaro-u-boot-2011.12 produces a working MLO/U-Boot pair which will boot both Panda and Panda-ES boards. Previously, the Panda EA1 with rev ES2.0 silicon would not boot.
Configure and Compile
To configure and compile U-Boot for PandaBoard ES do the following:
export CROSS_COMPILE=arm-none-linux-gnueabi- make omap4_panda_config make
Note: This assumes that you are using and have installed the CodeSourcery 2011.03-41 for ARM GNU/Linux toolchain. If you are using a different toolchain, make sure to adjust the CROSS_COMPILE variable accordingly.
Using "Sourcery CodeBench Lite 2011.09-70 for ARM GNU/Linux" generates a compiler error, as does using the toolchain that comes with Ubuntu's gcc-arm-linux-gnueabi package as follows:

See <file:///usr/share/doc/gcc-4.6/README.Bugs> for instructions. Preprocessed source stored into /tmp/ccE2XxKg.out file, please attach this to your bugreport.
At the present time, this seems to be a problem with gcc 4.6.1.
GNU gcc 4.6.2 appears to have a fix for this issue. Stay tuned for a How-to on how to build a gcc 4.6.x toolchain that will properly compile u-boot.
Copy Files
Copy the MLO and U-Boot images to the boot partition of your mounted SD card:
cp MLO /media/boot cp u-boot.img /media/boot sync
Make sure you unmount your SD card prior to removing it from the host PC.
