[YOCTO] Compiling virtual/kernel after changing .config file is giving error

[yusufalti333]

Hello

I am using SDK V2.0 - 1703 for T1042D4RDB-64B. Default kernel compiling process is only giving 4 driver output. I need to enable the drivers I want and want to change the kernel .config file. I followed the procedure as following;

1) bitbake virtual/kernel -c cleansstate

2) bitbake virtual/kernel -c patch

4) bitbake virtual/kernel -c configure

5) make ARCH=powerpc menuconfig

6) bitbake virtual/kernel

But it's giving compilement error as follows.

Log data follows:

NOTE: Tasks Summary: Attempted 286 tasks of which 285 didn't need to be rerun and 1 failed.

When I do not touch the .config file using "make ARCH=powerpc menuconfig" it's compiling successfully. I want to enable "Load also drivers which will not be used" option in menuconfig. But when I save it as ".config" file and start compiling, it's giving error.

Any idea ?

Use Ubuntu 14 for this SDK.

The following command sequence was used under Ubuntu 14:

1. sudo apt-get install ubuntu-minimal ubuntu-standard patch vim-common sed wget subversion git-core coreutils libbonobo2-common unzip texi2html texinfo libsdl1.2-dev docbook-utils gawk python-pysqlite2 diffstat make gcc build-essential xz-utils g++ desktop-file-utils chrpath libgl1-mesa-dev libglu1-mesa-dev autoconf automake groff libtool xterm libncurses5-dev cvs tofrodos

2. a) command: ls -l /bin/sh

                Message:  /bin/sh -> dash

1. b) command: sudo dpkg-reconfigure dash

                Answer after password – No

                Message:

                Removing 'diversion of /bin/sh to /bin/sh.distrib by dash'

                Adding 'diversion of /bin/sh to /bin/sh.distrib by bash'

                Removing 'diversion of /usr/share/man/man1/sh.1.gz to /usr/share/man/man1/sh.distrib.1.gz by dash'

                Adding 'diversion of /usr/share/man/man1/sh.1.gz to /usr/share/man/man1/sh.distrib.1.gz by bash'

1. c) command for checking: ls -l /bin/sh

                Message: /bin/sh -> bash

3. mount SDK source .iso file
4. cd <sdk-install-dir>.
5. ./sources/meta-freescale/scripts/host-prepare.sh

Usually Linux recommends also run the following command: sudo usr/sbin/visudo

6. . fsl-setup-env -m t1042d4rdb
7. bitbake fsl-image-minimal

1. a) bitbake -c cleansstate virtual/kernel
2. b) bitbake -c patch virtual/kernel
3. c) bitbake -c menuconfig virtual/kernel
4. d) bitbake virtual/kernel
5. e) bitbake -c compile -f virtual/kernel

Have a great day,

Thank you. I can compile kernel with my own settings now. But there is still a little problem that I didn't get it. modules.t1042d4rdb-64b.tgz file still does not contain all the drivers. But build folder is telling me It compiled all the drivers I selected in menuconfig. https://i.hizliresim.com/vaWQlp.png  there on the left side, buildin file is listing all the drivers I selected but modules.order file is only containing 13 driver files. How can I make kernel include all the drivers compiled with yocto ?
