How to recompile when using ltib for compiling u-boot and kernel

jayakumar2 — Wed, 05 Mar 2014 15:51:04 GMT

Hi,

I'm using L3.0.35_4.1.0_130816_source ltib to build for the MX6SL evaluation kit. I noticed that each time I make a change to u-boot takes quite a bit of time. Eg: I just made a change to a printf in board/freescale/mx6sl_evk/mx6sl_evk.c , and I recompiled by doing:

lucid@ubuntu:~/6sl/ltib/rpm/BUILD/u-boot-2009.08$ ( cd /home/lucid/6sl/ltib/ ; ./ltib -m scbuild -p u-boot )

and that kicks off a full rebuild as shown below part A. That takes a lot longer than desirable. I tried to escape this by doing:

( echo makeuboot ; cd /home/lucid/6sl/ltib/rpm/BUILD/u-boot-2009.08/ && PATH=/home/lucid/6sl/ltib/bin:/opt/freescale/ltib/usr/spoof:/home/lucid/6sl/ltib/bin:/opt/freescale/ltib/usr/bin:/opt/freescale/usr/local/gcc-4.6.2-glibc-2.13-linaro-multilib-2011.12/fsl-linaro-toolchain/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/bin/X11:/usr/X11R6/bin make CROSS_COMPILE=arm-none-linux-gnueabi- )

but this seems to work only the first few times. After that, it gets this weird error:

Generating include/autoconf.mk

fatal: cannot describe '9b3adb2c5d3015ff4d14b56623b9edbc4c698105'

It is much worse for rebuilding the kernel. Every time I build it recompiles everything even though I changed just a single line in board/freescale/mx6sl_evk/mx6sl_evk.c . Eg:

Thanks Otavio. Yes, I like Yocto/OE based recipes and intend to migrate to it in the longer term. I'm glad to hear that there's a community behind it. However, in the short term, looks like I have to stay with ltib. Hopefully I'll find a way to recompile faster than doing scbuild each time. Thanks.

Jaya, alright.

Just bear on mind that 3.0.35-4.1.0 was the last LTIB release and 3.10.17-1.0.0 (for Yocto Project) is in beta already.

Anyway... good luck with the project.

Jaya,

The simple way to go to the source directory and use "make" command. Before run "make" just set the CROSS_COMPILE

export ARCH=arm

export CROSS_COMPILE=/opt/freescale/usr/local/gcc-4.6.2-glibc-2.13-linaro-multilib-2011.12/fsl-linaro-toolchain/bin/arm-fsl-linux-gnueabi-
