When specifying a target for bitbake you can't include the version (the 
underscore _ and everything after it). Poky will take care of selecting the 
version for you; in this case there is only one. So you should run the 
following instead:

$ bitbake u-boot

FYI for future reference if you do have multiple version choices and want to 
force one of them to be selected that is not the default, you need to add this 
somewhere (initially local.conf, but it may become part of your custom distro 
if you later create one):

PREFERRED_VERSION_packagename = "1.0"

(Assuming packagename is the name of the package and 1.0 is the version you 
want to select.)

Cheers,
Paul
