build_linux_kernel.sh contains everything I've changed ...

Thanks for all your job, loboris.
I wanted to generate a minimal kernel (most drivers as modules) and I found an horror: a ia64 binary in the kernel tree!
    lichee/linux-3.4/arch/arm/mach-sunxi/power/brom/gen_check_code
I am generating on a ARM machine, and I am blocked.
As, for sure, nobody has the source of this program 'gen_check_code', may you give us the 2 files
    'resumes.bin' (source) and 'resumes.code' (target)
as they are generated in the directory arch/arm/mach-sunxi/power/brom/ ?

linux-3.4_arch_arm_mach-sunxi_power_brom.tar.gz on Mega.

I downloaded h3-lichee-1.0.tar.gz, then did gunzip.  Then tar -xvf h3-lichee-1.0.tar.
The cd to lichee.  Copied lichee lichee.tar.gz there, gunzip lichee.tar.gz, tar -xvf of lichee.tar.

I try to run the script build_linux_kernel.sh, it errors immediately trying to cd to rootfs becuase there there is no linux-3.4/rootfs directory to cd to.  But it continues and eventurally fails.
mark@orangepi:~/kernel-bld/lichee$ ./build_linux_kernel.sh
rm: cannot remove ‘rootfs-lobo.img.gz’: No such file or directory
./build_linux_kernel.sh: line 15: cd: rootfs: No such file or directory

Do I need to somehow create the rootfs first?

markwinger

I tried this:
cd liniux-3.4
mkdir rootfs

Then tried the build.

I have no idea about where this syntax error comes from.
Must be more to it than just creating the directory.

I tried this:
cd liniux-3.4
mkdir rootfs

Sorry, I forgot to put rootfs directory into the archive.
Please download lichee.tar.gz again, copy it into the lechee directory, execute:

1. tar -xvf lichee.tar.gz

Copy code

in the lichee directory

execute build_linux_kernel.sh in the lichee directory:

1. <your_path>/lichee$ ./build_linux_kernel.sh

Copy code

I think emmc driver is included in the kernel.
If you can see and mount emmc partitions when booted ...

Hi,

Do you have a list of commands needed to properly write img to emmc
additionaly do you have any idea to add FTDI suppor /dev/ttyUSB0

during build I have

cp: cannot stat ‘arch/arm/boot/uImage’



Thanks,

loboris

Hi,

I don't have OPI+, so I cannot test it, but you can write the image to emmc the same way you write it to sd card (with dd command).
Can you see and mount your emmc partitions when booted from sd card ?

If you are building the kernel, you have to enable USB serial for the adapter(s) you need. In my kernel FTDI, PL2303 and CP210X are enabled (as modules).

If you get cp: cannot stat ‘arch/arm/boot/uImage’ it means that there were some errors, and uImage is not built.

roblad

Hi,

Could you prepare image for opi+ (that procedure with upload modules and writing dd as you specified in one previous post, cause that the opi+ hangs without full boot, one image 22 or 20 June for opi+ on mega was correct but disappeared) Please create such full opi+ image with emmc and sound and proper eth0 and wlan driver (after some period time my router got crazy and all network goes done - something is wrong either with wifi or eth0, i see 2 wifi cards wlan0 and wlan1). I will test it for you but there should be a change for emmc for mmcblk, it should be directed to emmc partition as in zacho_seven did in his u-boot. Could you do it for opi+ testers and we will see according your direction everything you want.

Regs,

Thanks for posting a new lichee.tar.gz laboris, but there are still problems.  The lichee.tar.gz file is corrupt, I cannot extract the entire file:
......
linux-3.4/rootfs/root/
linux-3.4/rootfs/proc/
linux-3.4/rootfs/
linux-3.4/
tar: Exiting with failure status due to previous errors

If I try building with what I get it errors:

I assume  because something is missing or incomplete due to the currupt lichee.tar.gz

lichee.tar.gz unpacking reports some errors, but unpacked files are just fine.

Only now I saw your command prompt: mark@orangepi:~/kernel-bld/lichee$
Are you building the kernel on OPI ? It is not going to work, not without some (many) changes !
And I wouldn't recommend it, even if you configure it right it will take many hours to complete (on my i7 machine it takes less then 5 min).
