Error building Rock 64 kernel
#1
I did a git clone of the rock64 image from:

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

I had tried doing a simple "make" but am getting an error in scripts/link-vmlinux.sh, so apparently this is not the right way to build a kernel.

What is the proper procedure?  I need to build a few device drivers that aren't built normally and just need a valid kernel to build against.

Thanks,

Bob

Are you crosscompiling or building on the Rock64? Which config are you using?

I'm building right on the Rock64, using an NFS mounted volume where the sources are located. I tried using oldconfig. Basically I've got an "operator error" kind of problem and just need a hint as to what the procedural errors are.

Thanks

I am  currently on the road, can give you some hints later today... but you want to start with


Code:
make rockchip_linux_defconfig

then 

Code:
make menuconfig

add the options you need and

Code:
make -j5

after that you should have everything built... building on the Rock64 will take quite some time if you dont have a heatsink and the cores get throttled, it should be around 40 minutes with good cooling...


----------------

If you want to cross-compile the kernel on a PC which is  a lot faster, you need a aarch64-linux-gnu- toolchain which usually comes with most distros (Ubuntu, Fedora at least...) and the steps are more or less the same, but you have to prefix everything with:

Code:
ARCH=arm64 CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-linux-gnu-

e.g.

Code:
ARCH=arm64 CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-linux-gnu- make rockchip_linux_defconfig
-----------
To redirect the make install / make modules_install targets to a directory of your chosing, define INSTALL_PATH=.... and INSTALL_MOD_PATH=...  so you can get the files needed to move over to the filesystem on your board... run as normal user / not root or sudo...
Code:
ARCH=arm64 CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-linux-gnu- INSTALL_PATH=<some directory> make install
ARCH=arm64 CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-linux-gnu- INSTALL_MOD_PATH=<some directory> make modules_install
