./tlib fails to build kernel-3.0.35

djbuijs · ‎01-24-2013

I am trying to build a kernel for the SABRE iMX6 Quad board and am running into some issues. This is the first time I build a kernel and I am following the provided guide "SABRE_SD_User_Guide_L3.0.35_1.1.0.pdf". The selected kernel version is the default "kernel-3.0.35".

My host is Ubuntu 9.04 (on VirtualBox on Win 7 Pro). I managed to build LTIB without issues.

However, when I start building the kernel (./ltib) I get several errors:

1) ############

net/core/pktgen.c: In function 'pktgen_if_show':

net/core/pktgen.c:682:2775: error: can't find a register in class 'GENERAL_REGS' while reloading 'asm'

Line 682 in the file pktgen.c states....I have not gone further than that:

do_div(idle, NSEC_PER_USEC);

2) ############

cc1: some warnings being treated as errors

make[2]: *** [drivers/scsi/advansys.o] Error 1

make[1]: *** [drivers/scsi] Error 2

make[1]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....

Additionally this message showed up at the beginning of the build:

Warning: cannot find a config file for the kernel

This while I did execute the kernel config..... could this be the issue? The script seems to be looking for the file : imx6_defconfig which does not exist.... These are the *defconfig I found:

dirk@dirk-desktop:~/projects/dcns/sabre/src/ltib$

ls ~/projects/dcns/sabre/src/ltib/rpm/BUILD/linux-3.0.35/arch/arm/configs/ | grep mx

mx1_defconfig

mx21_defconfig

mx27_defconfig

mx3_defconfig

mx51_defconfig

mxs_defconfig

As instructed I entered platform type: "imx6q" and "min profile" (the default). I am trying various things now (build different kernel versions, ), but haven't gotten any success yet....

Here's a link to someone who had a similar issue, but it never seems to have gotten resolved...

Help: LTIB build failed

What can be the issue?

Every time I need to rebuild a kernel, I configure and build it manually.

export ARCH=arm

export CROSS_COMPILE=/opt/freescale/usr/toolchain/arm-eabi-4.4.3/bin/arm-eabi-

Pay attention ar arm-eabi version you have on your machine. Look for arm-eabi under /opt/freecale/usr and find your path

Then, enter your kernel dir:

$cd kernel_dir

$ ls arch/arm/config | grep -irn mx

here you will see *every* config file. Choose the right one for your board

$ make mx6config

$ make menuconfig

if you want to change any configuration

$make uImage

Please, make sure to use the right commands.

djbuijs · ‎01-29-2013

Thanks for your reply. This is the listing I get with def configs: there does not seem to be a imx6 default config....

dirk@dirk-desktop:~/projects/dcns/sabre/src/ltib$

ls rpm/BUILD/linux-3.0.35/arch/arm/configs/ | grep mx

mx1_defconfig

mx21_defconfig

mx27_defconfig

mx3_defconfig

mx51_defconfig

mxs_defconfig

Did I get the wrong source?

The source (L3.0.35_1.1.0_121218_source.tar.gz) was downloaded from https://www.freescale.com/webapp/Download?colCode=L3.0.35_1.1.0_SOURCE&appType=license&location=null...

Thanks,

Dirk

daiane_angolini · ‎02-01-2013

sorry for my delay.

I´m sure you have the right source code. But I´m not sure how your LTIB is configured.

Double check if you chose imx6 as your platform. If you need to reset every configuration, please, ./ltib -m selectype

You can also take the kernel source code from git repository:

http://git.freescale.com/git/cgit.cgi/imx/linux-2.6-imx.git/log/?h=imx_3.0.35_1.1.0

by

git clone git://git.freescale.com/imx/linux-2.6-imx.git -b imx_3.0.35_1.1.0
