Hard time compiling a working uImage
« on: February 16, 2015, 06:21:15 PM »
Hi,

Downloaded the sunxi-linux-g2d source code and trying to replace the uImage on the SD card created with the mkSDCard tool. I'm having a hard time building a working kernel from the downloads, kernel is 3.0.42.

cp ~/tinycore/a10Core-kernel-3.0.42.config .config
make oldconfig
make -j8 ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnu- uImage modules
cp arch/arm/boot/uImage /mnt/disk1

The card doesn't boot on my HDMI stick MK802... So for sanity make sure they're actually configured the same:
extract-ikconfig /mnt/disk1/uImage.backup (original) > /tmp/config
diff /tmp/config .config

And they're the same, yet my uImage is significantly smally by about 400 KB. Mine vs original: 4,076,592 bytes vs 4,484,836 bytes.

uCore, boot.scr, script.bin, env.txt are all left untouched.

I was able to build a 3.0.103 kernel from the linux-sunxi 3.4 branch by using the default .config through make ARCH=arm sun4i_defconfig and the device will boot but all the shared libraries don't work properly... Because the kernel versions don't match (aka modprobe didn't work). I see a listing of files in the uCore and could probably start replacing libraries but have no clue how to properly build uCore.

Anyone actually get it compiling and working? The uImage from the 5.x A10 download page works (http://tinycorelinux.net/5.x/armv7/Allwinner-A10/).

Update on this, bought a Serial <-> TTL converter and opened up the USB stick. Found the trace for serial rx and tx and connected to it temporarily using a pin. Here's the boot messages:

Re: Hard time compiling a working uImage

Just an update on this. Gave up on compiling this from the linux-sunxi-g2d download found on this site. Checked out the linux-sunxi-3.0 branch and went to the first commit that is 3.0.101 and compiled that with success.

Updating the script.bin from the sunxi-boards repo helped get USB working better as well. Although the display glitches every few minutes, my project doesn't make use of the HDMI out.

Others have had success: http://forum.tinycorelinux.net/index.php/topic,17930.msg109791.html#msg109791

If you drop the EDID clause the display will be stable. I had to do so on my 3.4.103 kernel.

Since kernel 4.0 there is some support for Allwinner boards. I use a selfbuild vanilla 4.0.5, so if you dont need graphics acceleration or sound you can give it a try.
