[Sprint] Kernel Development - OC

Okay I've been reading and reading and finally got all the tools to build a kernel from the source that Samsung had on their site for DJ30. Since these are very identical to the other galaxy s devices they should overclock decently. Will report with more progress later.
-------------------------
Status - Downloaded source and repo and building configuration to make kernel.

Interested in your development... my Sprint Tab arrives tomorrow, decided to give it a 30 day try before I try the Nook Color.
Doesn't appear to be a lot of development yet, hoping to see that change.
One question, is the Zroot method still the preferred method to rooting the device?

I used superoneclick 1.5.5

seems like you're missing (a part of) the gcc compiler... the part to compile for ARM it would seem...

I'm not a dev, but I sure can test on my sprint tablet

I have a Linux blade at home, what are the tools necessary to compile from source, and what repo are you using for the sprint tab drivers and such?

Simple solution here is that you are missing GCC or have an incorrect version installed. I wrote a how to compile thread in the Streak section a few months bak ill dig it up and post it here.
try
apt-get install build-essential

Already installed build essential.
Sent from my SPH-P100 using XDA App

The readme file tells you where to get the compiler from, decompress it to /opt/toolchain.
And this thread has pretty good explanations on how to build the kernel http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=837170

A little farther int he process of getting this sucker compiled... Got this error now... *I forgot how much of a pain it was to go through setting things up perfectly! lol.. any and all help is greatly appreciated!

It's pretty obvious from that line that it can't find that particular binary in your toolchain directory...
I followed the instructions in the readme file and compiled the kernel already, it was extremely simple. You ran the build_kernel.sh file right... after editing it?

Yes I did and its been 5 years since I've done anything with Linux so its a rather learning curve to get anything done. With lack of development on tab thought it would be a good place to start. I've done normal kernel build before but nothing for a phone and it wasn't rather hard either it was just a few commands and everything was already in the right directories
Sent from my SPH-P100 using XDA App

FYI I grabbed the kernel source and cross toolchain, installed the toolchain to /opt (on my desktop Linux box) added the toolchain's bin directory to the start of $PATH, edited the (iirc - am posting from a Windows box) build.sh script and the kernel built fine first time.
I need to set the path to the raminitfs file in .config and then try again and make sure it boots ok
Anyway just a post to say that it must be your setup. I see you have installed the toolchain to /home/max/GalaxyTab/prebuilt/linux-x86/toolchain/ and in your latest post there's the following error: make[1]: /opt/toolchains/arm-2009q3/bin/arm-none-linux-gnueabi-gcc: Command not found
So there's obviously a path problem there. I also see you're using a plain "make" command without setting the ARCH env var.
I'd recommend giving the build.sh script a go (after editing the toolchain path), as it sets up all the env vars, etc., for you automatically.

okay, I was missing a file went I was doing my repo sync... which didn't make sense but i got it worked out... finally able to compile going to apply the patches and recompile and will repo, but thanks for the people who did help figure out the issue...

Does anyone have an untouched sprint kernel pulled from a device? I rooted mine and it's seeminly impossible to pull the initrd out of it.

Nevermind, I got it... I have a booting Sprint kernel that works great.
Do you have a link to the patches you want to include, I may be able to get the CPU frequency adjustments you want to make built.

Currently there are 2 files that tell the kernel the freq to run at, and 3 spots at the bottom of each that need changed. Located in /ARM/ARCH/OMAP something I need to get more info when I get home I'll edit this post and let you know but there is a file called cpu24xx.c and cpu34xx.c, I was going to compile a working kernel with those files edited to run 1200MHz to test and see if that would work if that didn't work there were some patches made on the other galaxy s devices I have links to thanks to SetiroN for providing, which they are a little different then the files for the galaxy source but I'll post it when I get home and have time!

You forgot about export:
Code:
export ARCH=arm
export CROSS_COMPILE=/opt/arm-2011.09/bin/arm-none-eabi
and double check if CROSS_COMPILE should be arm-none-eabi or arm-none-eabi- (with a minus at the end)

OMGLOL, it's my signature (setprop is android specific)
Anyway, if any packages would be missing make would whine about them first. Just to be sure check official docs
As for exports- I use envsetup.sh-s like this one:
Code:
export ARCH=arm
export CC=arm-spica-linux-uclibcgnueabi-gcc
export CXX=arm-spica-linux-uclibcgnueabi-gcc
export CROSS_COMPILE=arm-spica-linux-uclibcgnueabi-
export PATH=$PATH:${HOME}/x-tools/bin:${HOME}/x-tools/arm-spica-linux-uclibcgnueabi/bin
(this one is for crosstools-ng, you have to adjust names and paths for your environment)
usage:
Code:
. ./envsetup.sh

It seems that you don't have ARM config, make still tries to build x86.
Do exports and 'make menuconfig' first to check if config is correct

1. Do required exports
2. make semc_anzu_defconfig (this will create kernel config required for make- copy of semc_anzu_defconfig)
3. If you want to make any changes (drivers/options/modules/whatever) in config- make menuconfig
4. make

thank you so much! i also would have never considered thinking in this direction..
but now im stuck on the correct linking command.
i tried ln -s /usr/bin/python /usr/bin/python2.7
and i tried exchanging the two paths.. none of them succeeded and im confused now.. could you pls help me?
sorry for this stupid question, i know this could not work, but i cant help myself finding the correct solution..

Thank you,
Jake
