building mt8127 dfo_boot.h error
Hello,
I'm currently trying to compile the mt8127 kernel and I'm mainly using your post as a guide on how to do that.
When I use
Code:
cp ../mediatek/config/mt8127/autoconfig/kconfig/platform .config
I get this error at zImage:
Code:
[B][email protected]:~/source/kernel$ make zImage v=1[/B]

If I try to make the configs instead of copying them I get the following error:

I think dfo_boot.h should be a file, whicht is automatically generated during "make mediatek-configs" and I haven't had any luck figuring out a fix to the problem since I'm a n00b.
Shold "make mediatek-configs" not be the reason for my missing dfo_boot.h, could you please explain to me where I can get it from or how its generated.

Hi Master Awesome. Firstly, I wanna say a big "Thank you!" to you for this guide. However, whenever I install those required packages, they BREAK MY LINUX INSTALLATION. My machine no longer shuts down or boots successfully. WHY? I'm running 64 bit Ubuntu 12.04 LTS. I appreciate your response. Thanks!

@BlackObyo read this. Basically you've got some spaces in that Makefile where there should be tabs. Did you edit that file manually at all in a text editor? Send me that file, /home/ipul/mediatek/custom/Kernels/kernel/mediatek/Makefile , by attaching it in a post here and I'll have a look, unless you think you can sort it.

weird, it looks fine to me, as it should do if you've not touched it. I don't own a MediaTek device, so I can only recommend making sure you've followed the guide exactly. Other than that you could tell me your device and which source you're using and I could have a quick investigation?

There was no readme file along with the source. I was able to compile the kernel but ended up unsuccessful, it says a bunch of errors, such as "make[x]: (net) error" "make[x]: error, cannot find kernel_byd82_wet_kk.bin" where byd82_wet_kk is the Target_project

have you modified the wlan source at all?
if not, repull down the source fresh, and then re-merge your changes in.
havn't modified the wlan source at all, so I will repull and try again, will report back. Thanks.
Ok i got the kernel compiled and now I I want to compile the .ko for the wireless, can I get a little help with that?

If u ran a make, it was compiled.
Pick it up in drivers/net/wireless/bcm4329
I ran the make command from the cyanogen wiki, and used make ARCH=arm command and the wireless driver is not in the file it is supposed to be in.

Pass this to make:
Foldertoputmodulesin/ modules_install
Then you'll see your modules in there.
Gr8gorilla,
What did you do to get the kernel to compile? I'm getting the same error with a fresh pull.
If you check out my overclock how to, I take you step by step through making a kernel.

I still get the compile error after I followed the guide except I didn't use your modified files; I'm not overvolting or overclocking.
For what its worth, if I remove the bcm4329 kernel module from the config then it builds fine and is running stable on my Nexus One, albeit, without wifi.
Nevermind, apparently there was something wrong with my kernel config.
how long ago did you resync your repo? I had a compile error today that is involving some of the new changes there was a new option when doing old config, I hit yes the first time and had an error, no wifi driver, but a boot image. Second time I hit enter and it compiled fine.
Ok, I setup my 2 build boxes. One Ubuntu 11.10x64 and one Mint 11x86. Installed required packages and downloaded multiple toolchains. I have tried compiling on both machines and on both I get the same errors.
make[2]: *** [silentoldconfig] Error 1

I have tried make thunderc_perf_defconfig and get the same error. Copied .config from device dropped into source, same error.
Any ideas on what is going on? I'm new to this so any help would be great.
I don't known, maybe gcc
try checking your mount options?
Nope its not gcc; as I said I have installed all required packages including gcc + bison etc. My mount options? Is that the "export ARCH=arm" ? Where I have to set the default compiler? I'm new to the newer flavors of linux. The last distro I used was Mandrake 7.1 ;-) Now I am testing this on 2 builds; an x64 Ubuntu and a x86 Mint(Which is Ubuntu). I have to be missing something on both, but I have followed tutorials guides to the T and still get this error. I get more errors than this by the way. The compiler kicks back Kconfig saying unexpected line of code.

I ran a search on your error message about the missing rule to make auto.conf and found this:
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=99089
It relates to the other poster's comment about checking your mount options. It's a short process to fix it.
And if it doesn't work maybe it will at least give you a new error message to research.

Wrong...
Because you don't have .config file in the source. If you are building kernel from source, you must have the kernel config. That kernel config can be shared in the source code, it depends on that kernel developer, he can shared it in arch/arm/config, access to there then find that kernel defconfig. Or you can get the kernel config of that kernel with another method, but this method just can be applied if the kernel you want to build is for our device: flash that kernel then go to terminal then type:
Code:
su
(Accept the super user)
Code:
cp /proc/config.gz /sdcard
If it show "No such file or directory found" so you should ask that kernel developer for their .config.
If it doesn't show anything, go to sdcard and find if there is a file that named config.gz, it's the kernel config. Get back to terminal then type:
cd /sdcard
gunzip config.gz
Voila!
I actually tried that already.... I have been at this for about three days. XDA was my last resort as I like to figure things out on my own. However I'm stuck @ a brick wall. I have edited /etc/fstab and removed the bs mount options..remounted same error. Mind you I'm doing most of this from a Virtual Environment. Starting to think this is my issue, but it doesn't explain the same error on machine #2. Maybe I'm doing it right, possibly a bad git clone?

Yeah that would be great if I hadn't done that already. In my post I stated I had replaced the .config from my device. I have literately tried everything but doing this from base. IE not from a VM. I appreciate the help but its a "no go".

He isn't building ROM from source. He is learning how to build a kernel from source.
Sorry for the delay; had 2 deaths in the family.
I setup my third box and again I get the same results. I really don't know where I'm going wrong. This kinda makes me lean to, I have bad source code. I'm no pro C programmer; however when building I get Kconfig errors. I opened said file and the comments look all messed up. The compiler I think is reading the comments as code and kicking it back giving me this error.
by the way what are you compiling and please teach me compiling i want to learn it .
I'm compiling a modified kernel for the Optimus V. I can't teach you how to compile because I don't even know if I'm doing it right.

You shouldn't have to edit the Makefile. Are you using the tool chain recommended by Sony? Make sure your path selects them before anything else. Also I would reset locale to C before compiling ("Erreur"?!), it may play some tricks.

You find the specific instructions for the Xperia S at http://developer.sonymobile.com/wp/...-archive-released-with-building-instructions/ referring to the kernel building howto at http://developer.sonymobile.com/wp/2011/05/06/how-to-build-a-linux-kernel/ recommending you to use the tool chain at https://sourcery.mentor.com/sgpp/lite/arm/portal/[email protected]=lite
Follow those instructions before start tinkering with Makefiles, tools, build environment etc and I'm sure you'll succeed.
And reset locale to C! I.e. unset the LANG and LC_* environment variables in your shell before running the build scripts.

Sorry, but I'm no mind reader. "does not work" is not sufficient information for me to reply anything helpful to.
The basic is, if you don't know what you are doing, do it by the book. Still not working? Ask for help. Sony Xperia has presented quite a verbose instruction about how to compile their kernels. Try following this before choosing your own tool chain, edit Makefiles and so. When you get problems, read the instructions more carefully and/or ask the community (hi!) for help, with somewhat more detailed information about what you did and how it failed. The more verbose information you present, the more likely you are to get a useful reply.
Best of luck.
------------------
(edit)
A curious question, why do you want to compile a new kernel? I get the impression this is not your field of expertise, and maybe you are trying to achieve something somewhat more complicated than needed.

You need android-ndk-r5b to compile the Xperia kernel source. I.e. you can not use the latest NDK.
Thanks a lot for your answer
Unfortunately, I didn't find android-ndk-r5b for Linux.
Could you kindly indicate me where I can get it ?
thanks !

it seems that is is not a built version, right ?
I have tried to navigate in the documentation, but it does not look so trivial...
Would you know how to simply compile it ?

Read the documentation at http://developer.sonymobile.com/wp/2011/05/06/how-to-build-a-linux-kernel/
Replace the toolchain path with e.g. "CROSS_COMPILE=/opt/android-ndk-r5b/toolchains/arm-linux-androideabi-4.4.3/prebuilt/linux-x86/bin/arm-linux-androideabi-" and you are good to go.
ok nice.
Then I tried again and... I've got a different error !
Here is what I have done:

Only specify ONE toolchain ...
Also, I'm note quite sure if I used 4.4.0 or 4.4.3, since both are included in the same r5b distribution. You can also try;
CROSS_COMPILE=~/Toolchain//android-ndk-r5b/toolchains/arm-eabi-4.4.0/prebuilt/linux-x86/bin/arm-eabi-
Thank you kuisma.
Sorry it was a copy/paste error, I had for sure specified only one toolchain.
So I am making a new test with CROSS_COMPILE=~/Toolchain/android-ndk-r5b/toolchains/arm-eabi-4.4.0/prebuilt/linux-x86/bin/arm-eabi-
I'll keep you informed
---------- Post added at 11:51 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:15 AM ----------
It built, thanks again for your support, kuisma !
Not sure it is still in the scope of this topic, but continuing to execute the instructions found in developer.sonymobile.com/2011/05/06/how-to-build-a-linux-kernel/, I have some questions regarding Step C, absolutly not clear for me
What should I do exactly to prepare my boot.img ? What have I to do to create a ramdisk.img file, or where can I find it ? (in fact I do not know what it the ramdisk in the picture...is it required ?)

Start with the original root filesystem from the standard boot.img you are already running.
You'll find my tool working with boot.img here: http://whiteboard.ping.se/Android/Unmkbootimg
Also, read the links on the page my signature links to, to get more information about how to build boot images, root file systems etc.
The ramdisk contains the root filesystem, and yes, it's very much needed.
Ok understood
last point: how to retrieve the boot.img from my Xperia S phone ? (that is already unlocked)

Hi,
I'm having some issues to build the kernel for my tablet Samsung Galaxy Tab p5110 from this github repo:
https://github.com/C...sung_espresso10
I'm getting the following error:
CC arch/arm/mach-omap2/common-board-devices.o
arch/arm/mach-omap2/common-board-devices.c:28: fatal error: linux/spi/ads7846.h: No such file or directory
compilation terminated.
make[1]: *** [arch/arm/mach-omap2/common-board-devices.o] Error 1
make: *** [arch/arm/mach-omap2] Error 2
I also had to edit arch/arm/mach-omap2/Makefile.sec because it was taking the BUILD_SOURCE as "".
I'm the doing the following steps:
make mrproper
make ARCH=arm cyanogenmod_p5110_defconfig
make -j4 ARCH=arm
make clean
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks,
Matias Kreder

Your in the wrong section, this is for the first gen Galaxy Tab P75xx. Someone might be able to chime in and help but you have better luck in the appropriate section.
Would you please give me a link to the right section? I'm not able to find any other specific forum for "Galaxy Tab P75xx."

Hello everyone,
currently i trying to develop my own Kernel for my Xperia Z2. I installed Ubuntu 18.04 and i think i installed the toolchain in a half correctly.
The Toolchain that i install is under /usr/arm-linux-gnueabi. Now i have some questions..
1. Why it is does exist difference how to build a kernel? Automatic method and manually one?
2. I write export PATH="/usr/arm-linux-gnueabi/bin:$PATH" in the bashrc, but im not sure about this?
3. What is the difference between download a toolchain unpack them and use and installed one through the terminal, like i do it?
4. How i can sure that i installed and set up the toolchain correct?
I will find the answer after try and error of course, but getting early a answer will help me to solve another problems which will come.
Thanks
