Build fails for LS1043ardb

[gfine1]

Was building using flex-builder and ran into a few build errors.

The first was rather simple to figure out. 

First I looked at the kernel menuconfig.

$ flex-builder -B custom -c linux -a arm64 -m ls1043ardb

Satisfied with the config I proceeded to build

$ flex-builder -m ls1043ardb

Error #1

I was able to get around this one by entering the menuconfig and deselecting the DSA config. I'm not sure if this is needed in our target.

Then I restarted the build

It seemed to finish with a rather odd error. Error #2..  I am building for the ls1043ardb not the ls1028 or the ls1012a. Why is it trying to copy the wrong dtb file??

I double-checked this by attempting a 2nd build in another directory. Same errors.

[yipingwang · Accepted solution]

Please remove folder "flexbuild_lsdk2012/build/linux/kernel/arm64/LS/", then rebuild Linux Kernel.

$ rm -rf ~/ls1043ardb/flexbuild_lsdk2012/build/linux/kernel/arm64/LS

$ flex-builder -c linux -m ls1043ardb

Just and addition to the solution.

Removing the direcotry and rebuild properly built the components for the kernel but I found nothing in /images directory

I reran 'flex-builder -m ls1043ardb' and now have images. 

Next thing.. figure out how to add the WiFi driver to the build. It uses the NXP 88W8997 chipset.
