Rock64 u-boot for eMMC Build Error - mexicanflyer - 09-18-2022
I have a Rock64 4GB board which I would like to turn into a FreedomBox server.
Since the Rock64 boards are no longer sold with SPI flash, I am trying
to build U-Boot to flash onto the eMMC module. I am following the instructions
for building here:
https://u-boot.readthedocs.io/en/latest/board/rockchip/rockchip.html
However, when I get to here:
Code:
make CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-linux-gnu-I get this error:
Code:
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'distutils.core'
make[2]: *** [scripts/dtc/pylibfdt/Makefile:30: rebuild] Error 1
make[1]: *** [scripts/Makefile.build:398: scripts/dtc/pylibfdt] Error 2
make: *** [Makefile:2047: scripts_dtc] Error 2Some investigation tells me pylibfdt is not yet compatible with python3, and it will
be a while before the developers will be able to solve the problem, as it causes many other issues.
I installed python2, but I get this error:
Code:
scripts/dtc/pylibfdt/libfdt_wrap.c:154:11: fatal error: Python.h: No such file or directory
154 | # include <Python.h>
| ^~~~~~~~~~
compilation terminated.
error: command '/usr/bin/cc' failed with exit code 1
make[2]: *** [scripts/dtc/pylibfdt/Makefile:30: rebuild] Error 1
make[1]: *** [scripts/Makefile.build:398: scripts/dtc/pylibfdt] Error 2
make: *** [Makefile:2047: scripts_dtc] Error 2What am I able to do in order to work around this issue?
For clarity, will the u-boot and FreedomBox installations exist on the same eMMC module in the end, or must I install one to an SD card and the other on the eMMC module?
Thank you for reading the post. I would appreciate any advice you have to offer.
