BUILD CUSTOM SDK

[Randomuser]

So I built a soquartz buildroot image and unfortunately it doesn't boot.

It sends this on to the console:

*** ADDED ***
Added buildconfigs for other pine boards with a rk356x  PineNote ,Quartz64-b and Soquartz
!!! DTS files not included only added a pinenote dts the soquartz and quartz64-b are just quartz64-a dts !!
so if you got a dts for dowmstream kernel bards you can add them

Well, I didn't understand what it means the first time I read it. I assumed it would at least boot with a generic quartz64-a dts. Maybe with some devices not working. It appears it doesn't.

I've managed to plug in a soquartz dts from the latest linux-5.19rc7, and this boots, but ethernet doesn't work. It detects the link state correctly. It seems to think it sends, but it doesn't receive anything. I'll have to troubleshoot it. Any ideas are very welcome.

So I attempted to find ANY image with working Ethernet on a soquartz board, but there is none. The 36GB "BSP Linux SDK" the soquartz wiki links to is not an SDK for the soquartz, but for the MCU with no real support for the soquartz board peripherals at all.

Then there is Manjaro linux, which doesn't boot at all on soquartz because they configured it to use Quartz-B hardware. Are there soquartz boards with Quartz-B? I thought not, but perhaps I'm not aware of it. Regardless, it too isn't booting on my board.

The wiki page and some forum posts seem to suggest that at the very least the OpenCL project by pgwipeout should boot. Nope, it too doesn't work (at least the latest image and the one before that, I gave up on it thereafter). This is not a critique of the author as he does a lot of good work submitting code to the mainline Kernel. 

It seems that the process created by shaggy013 described in this thread is currently the only way to produce an image that boots for the soquartz board. For this I wanted to say thank you to shaggy013. 

At the same time I think the Pine64 wiki should make it absolutely clear this "product" is probably a year away from being actually usable on Linux (on ANY linux, not specifically mainline). If anyone is aware of an image that has working ethernet, USB2, CSI camera and hardware h264 encoder please do let me know, but I'm not expecting much.

I've been downloading that huge 78GB Android SDK for last 5 days. If it turns out it is equally useless as the "BSP linux SDK" it will be quite sad.
