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

For three days now because i didn't want to ask a stupid question.... I guess I can be considered a newbie when it comes to nand but I really want to learn this. I have a rhod400 and when I reach the point where I am supposed to crun sh buildxip.sh rhod400 I don't have that file although I do have makexip but it throws errors as follows

reese@reese-laptop:~/android/tinboot-linux-msm$ sh makexip.sh rhod500
Compile the tinboot/xip for rhod500.....
makexip.sh: 24: arm-eabi-as: not found
makexip.sh: 25: arm-eabi-objcopy: not found
mv: cannot stat `tinbootxip': No such file or directory
rm: cannot remove `tinboot.o': No such file or directory
reese@reese-laptop:~/android/tinboot-linux-msm$

What am I doing wrong?

BTW I am using ubuntu 10.10 (not a virtual) I don't see that causing a problem. I also have followed the steps - step by step - what must be up to at least 30 times now.

You aren't doing anything wrong. The makexip.sh script does not work for me either which is why I re-wrote it. The export commands in the original script never worked, so I just used direct paths instead. You can use the script below and just set the variables at the beginning

Code:

# Set the following variables 

# ANDROID -- directory with all android sources 

ANDROID=~/android 

# TINBOOT -- tinboot directory 

TINBOOT=$ANDROID/tinboot-linux-msm 

# KERNEL_PATH -- directory containing the linux-msm kernel source 

KERNEL_PATH=$ANDROID/linux-msm-rhod-nand 

# TOOLCHAIN_PATH -- directory containing the arm toolchain 

TOOLCHAIN_PATH=$ANDROID/prebuilt/linux-x86/toolchain/arm-eabi-4.4.0/bin/arm-eabi 

# MODULES_PATH -- directory containing compcache and tiwlan directories 

MODULES_PATH=$TINBOOT/modules 

# OUTPUT_PATH -- directory to write the kernel and modules gzip 

OUTPUT_PATH=$ANDROID/output 

#------------------------------------------------------------------------- 



# Remove old XIP if it exists 

cd $TINBOOT if [  -f xip/"$1" ]; then     

rm xip/$1     

echo Deleting old $1 

fi  



# compile tinboot XIP 

echo "Start compiling tinboot/xip for $1....." 

$TOOLCHAIN_PATH-as  tinboot/tinboot2.S -o tinboot.o --defsym $1=1 --defsym MTYPE=2292 --defsym hw3d=1  

$TOOLCHAIN_PATH-objcopy tinboot.o -O binary tinbootxip mv tinbootxip xip/$1  



# cleanup tinboot 

rm tinboot.o  



# make sure XIP build was successful

if [ ! -f xip/"$1" ] ; then     

echo "XIP build failed. XIP file was not found."     

exit 

fi

Part of nate's script copies what you need to build the XIP.

Most have used it. It is a lot simpler to build it all since somethings need to be rebuilt at the same time.

Thank you. How about building zimages? Do you have a link to information on that? I will be searching for it but i figured it wouldn't hurt to ask here first. Again, Thanks!

It's all in the first post. The zImage is a compressed kernel. Basically, go to the root of the linux-msm clone, do make defconfig, then make cross compile. That's all there is to it. No need to do tinboot or anything else.

Thanks you for great "how to" post!

glad others are finding it useful. And thanks for reminding me, I need to keep updating the first post for rootfs and initrd that I never got around to :p
