I don't remember where I found the example script (could have been the first post or a link from the first post) but I only had to make some small modifications to get it to work.

Worked fine. Thanks...

Anyone try compiling a nand kernel lately?? nbh doesn't package up right for me or something. I can't get past first boot splash...

Re: How To Compile Your Own Kernels, Modules, Tinboot (NAND boot), and More for Begin

Hi there,

I've just built success and got ruu_signed.NBH & modules-2.6.27.46-01254-g2a78bb6.tar.gz files.

Since new NAND version came and put everything inside device memory (only use sdcard for update) I want to known how to update zImage & modules.
Is there any guide to made androidupdate.tgz?
Can I use 'recovery' to update that file?

I was made a androidupdate.tgz by tar-zipped a directory with:

Code:

data

`-- modules

    |-- bcm4329.ko

    |-- cfg80211.ko

    |-- ip_queue.ko

    |-- iptable_filter.ko

....

then put it into /sdcard/andboot/androidupdate.tgz, update RHOIMG.NBH, reboot, stuck at boot. Error message: "not found rootfs" and fork a sh shell.

Best regard!

You have the right idea with the modules. All modules just go in a tgz with the structure /data/modules inside it. All you really need to do is grab the correct initrd.gz from here: bootenv in Tinboot for linux-msm - Gitorious and put it in your /tinboot-linux-msm/kernel directory with the zImage.

Again, I apologize for the delay on updating the first post. I'm heading out to the zoo with the wife, but we'll be back in a couple of hours and I'll get it updated then. She has a baby shower after we get back, so that should give me plenty of time :)

Re: How To Compile Your Own Kernels, Modules, Tinboot (NAND boot), and More for Begin

yeah, thanks, that's what I need, man. I'll re-compile them tomorrow :) (here is 3:05AM, btw need asleep).

Also, if you are going to edit the first post, don't forget to modify some line to make newcomer do correct things!

Code:

cat ~/android/linux-msm-rhod-nand/arch/arm/include/config/kernel.release

Code:

cat ~/android/linux-msm-rhod-nand/include/config/kernel.release

and add '-p' option to mkdir command to make it automatically create missing parent path if any to collapse code, for example:

Code:

if [ ! -d "$ANDROID/output/sdcard" ] ; then

   mkdir -p $ANDROID/output/sdcard

fi

I very much appreciate the help. As I've stated before, I wouldn't consider myself an expert at all with Linux, and any feedback is always welcome. I'm sure there are a lot of things in my scripts that could be improved, so keep them coming ;)

Also, I just updated the first post with some of what I had. I'm still refining a few things, and the 2nd post will be updated shortly.

Great update, natemcnutty!

Re: How To Compile Your Own Kernels, Modules, Tinboot (NAND boot), and More for Begin

Hey, natemcnutty

Need modify fullbuild.sh to fix this:

Code:

./fullbuild.sh: 38: Syntax error: "fi" unexpected (expecting "then")

from

Code:

 36 if [ ! -d $ANDROID/androidupdate/data/modules

 37      mkdir -p $ANDROID/androidupdate/data/modules

 38 fi

Code:

 36 if [ ! -d $ANDROID/androidupdate/data/modules ]; then

 37      mkdir -p $ANDROID/androidupdate/data/modules

 38 fi

previous snippets is missing ']; then' in 'if' clause, also we need to create system dir in androidupdate:

Code:

  39 if [ ! -d $ANDROID/androidupdate/system ]; then

  40      mkdir -p $ANDROID/androidupdate/system

  41 fi

Thanks, that was a last minute addition to the script based on your previous input. I had to change a couple of things from my script to keep in line with what I had originally posted as well, so thanks for catching those. I'll update them right now :)
