Kernel Build Help

[frewind]

Hi,

I'm having a little trouble with building the Kernel for the Rock 64. I'm initially trying to build in the machine itself, I have a 4GB version.

I've follow the process below to set up the machine, download the Kernel, configure it, build it and install it. it's the final step I'm having an issue with...

Step 1: Install prerequisite libraries for the Kernel build

Code:

sudo apt-get install fakeroot kernel-wedge build-essential bison flex libncurses5-dev libncursesw5-dev

Step 2: Get the Kernel Source

Code:

git clone https://github.com/ayufan-rock64/linux-mainline-kernel.git

Step 3: Configure the Kernel

Code:

cd linux-mainline-kernel
make rockchip_linux_defconfig

Step 4: Build the Kernel

Code:

make -j5

Step 5: Install the Kernel Modules

Code:

sudo make modules_install

Step 6: Install the Kernel

Code:

sudo make install

I then got the following error

Code:

/bin/bash ./arch/arm64/boot/install.sh 4.16.0-rc6-46881-g027e722bb005 \
arch/arm64/boot/Image System.map "/boot"
run-parts: executing /etc/kernel/postinst.d/apt-auto-removal 4.16.0-rc6-46881-g027e722bb005 /boot/vmlinuz-4.16.0-rc6-46881-g027e722bb005
run-parts: executing /etc/kernel/postinst.d/initramfs-tools 4.16.0-rc6-46881-g027e722bb005 /boot/vmlinuz-4.16.0-rc6-46881-g027e722bb005

Couldn't find DTB rk3328-rock64.dtb in /usr/lib/linux-image-4.16.0-rc6-46881-g027e722bb005 or /etc/flash-kernel/dtbs

so I found the rk3328-rock64.dtb on the machine and copied it to /etc/flash-kernel/dtbs

Code:

sudo cp /usr/lib/linux-image-4.4.77-rockchip-ayufan-136/rockchip/rk3328-rock64.dtb /etc/flash-kernel/dtbs/rk3328-rock64.dtb

I ran make install again and I now get the following..

Code:

/bin/bash ./arch/arm64/boot/install.sh 4.16.0-rc6-46881-g027e722bb005 \

Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.....
