kernel compiling

did someone could provide a minimal guide for compile kernel ? got some problem with using gcc prebuilt in samsung source. can you tell what defconfig you used ?
once used defconfig versatile_defconfig and .config saved i have got the following error:

How about pulling the config directly from the device, did you try that? (BTW I didn't get to compiling just yet, I only have SGS for two busy days now, so no direct experience yet, just asking).

dont know if and where the config is stored on SGS, apparently theres no .config

I have downloaded the AOSP eclair build and am trying to compile it.
It's still compiling.
I believe(stress on believe) you have to download the Samsung firmware from wesgamer and he has a sh file that gets rid of dream and other htc code.
Also he might have a different config
I am not experienced at android rom compiling.
Please take extreme care with whatever you do.
HOLY CRAP!!! I'm so sorry. I must have missed the readme.txt
Follow neldar.

If you have the latest sourcecode from opensource.samsung.com
then you should take a look into the README.txt and build_kernel.sh.
Everything you need to know to successfully build the kernel + modules is described in these files.

Yeah, sorry, I thought it could be pulled from /proc/config.gz as usual and didn't verify, but as I see now with adb, apparently Samsung has this disabled in their kernel.

I've compiled the kernel as per the readme file, but after I flash it, I get a kernel panic. Are there any other steps needed that are not in the readme? The kernel I created is around 2.5mb

you need the initramfs (contains the initial / with drivers and other stuff). check out this http://forum.samdroid.net/wiki/show...amsung+Spica+i5700?highlight=zImage+initramfs it's not for the i9000 but it works like that. you just have to take the other initramfs.
hope this helps, i just got it finished here myself
edit:
* my zImage is 6051460 bytes ...
* the right initramfs is also on leshak's git. explanation is on samdroid.net

Hi there,
I 've followed the instrucions in the README.txt.
No errors, but my zImage is just 2.5 mb
I assume the .config which is in the linux-2.6.29 directory is default one.The only change I made is to enable USB_ETH for RNDIS support.
make menuconfig
then
build kernel
Am i missing something?
I recompiled serveral time the linux kernel on standard computers, this time it might need a different setup.
thanks
Found that there is this useful discussion already

please read before posting! you are missing initramfs as i wrote in my post above yours!

I'm getting confused with the linking of capela_defconfig
Can anyone explain in more detail please
EDIT: Ok it seems the build script is overwriting whatever I set in the .config file
EDIT 2 Ok it seems .config gets overwritten by contents of arc/arm/configs/aries_rev03_defconfig
So I added the 3 lines about initramfs to the aries_rev03_defconfig and changed the path to now point towards the source downloaded from github. Compiling now....

ups. sorry. delete plz anyone?

yeah i had this too so i didn't use the build_kernel.sh script. just make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=tool-chain-path_and_prefix after make menuconfig. worked like a charm. have you tried to boot your kernel yet?

No I still get a file 2.5mb in size
Can you point me in the right direction?
Which config file are you using?

anyone has a mirror of the source code #2 posted sometime back? samsung hv removed from their site.. dont know if the current source code is the old or new code (#2)..

i did a "./build_kernel.sh Clean"
then i made "make menuconfig" and set the initramfs from leshak. you have to modify the initrd.arm.initramfs_list file to fit your file tree.
after that i did the make .... in the "linux-2.6.29" directory
edit: i did not change the .config file!

i think the currently available code is the newest one. it's slightly bigger and contains the build scripts/readme etc. additionally i had problems with uncompressing the code with the linux zip program. i suspect the archive was damaged somehow...

mine is 6MB, using the .config default and leshak initramfs and just make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=path-gcc
didnt use build_kernel.sh at all.

If you want to change the .config, then you should run once build_kernel.sh and then comment out line 75 in build_kernel.sh , like this:
Code:
#make ARCH=arm $PROJECT_NAME"_rev"$HW_BOARD_REV"_defconfig"
This will keep your .config and you could still use build_kernel.sh.

Thanks, I've commented out that line and it seems to be actually trying to load initramfs now

Ah, I didn't realise the contents of this file needed to be edited too (I see now it's pointed to leshak's folder tree). So i've made the changes to point to my initramfs dir and recompiling now. Fingers crossed this time.....
EDIT
Success! I now have an image 6003928 bytes in size Thanks for all the help!
Right, any tips on how to patch in ext4 support?

i flashed my kernel before and it does work quite well. i am not able to root with the update.zip however. adb gives me root access to the device but i can not get root directly on the phone (#su gives me "su: uid 10085 not allowed to su"). this is quite strange because the root methods works well with the stock kernel...hm

[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.

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'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.

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

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...

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!

Can Anyone Get a Kernel Working?

I've tried a hundred different settings, tweaking Samsung's original c1_rev05_na_spr_defconfig file.
c1_rev05_na_spr_defconfig is the .config file given by Samsung in the open source code for those of you who don't know.
When you can correctly compile the kernel with the settings in this .config file, you should be able to end up with a stock zImage that works but right now, these kernels end up in a boot-loop or boot-freeze.
I suspect it's settings in the .config file (off the c1_rev05_na_spr_defconfig) that could be at fault. I am not an expert at this (by any means) but perhaps those of you who are can recommend me any changes to the settings.
There's also an older c1_rev02_na_spr_defconfig but it doesn't compile so...

as ive stated in other threads, you wanna double check your kernels use tools to unpack the zimage.. if you dont have the initramfs in there then its not gunna boot

It's definitely in there, here's a copy and paste from my make menuconfig:
[ ] Namespaces support x x
x x [*] Initial RAM filesystem and RAM disk (initramfs/initrd) support x x
x x () Initramfs source file(s) x x
x x [*] Support initial ramdisks compressed using gzip x x
x x [ ] Support initial ramdisks compressed using bzip2 x x
x x [ ] Support initial ramdisks compressed using LZMA x x
x x [ ] Support initial ramdisks compressed using LZO

Bro, it's not that simple, you have to set the initramfs path in the config to a folder on your local machine and what Shabby is saying is that nobody has unpacked the stock zImage on the phone (or found out how to) to have an initramfs to load into the zImage you are compiling.
Just find a way to pull the stock zImage and unpack the initramfs and load the correct path, or it will keep having the same problems.

..and that is the problem. Without the initramfs android WILL NOT boot, since it doesn't know how, the zImage itself only houses the drivers and such. It's useless without the initramfs.

This is pretty frustrating, didn't have to do that on HTC open source, it shouldn't be so hard to compile a kernel, ARGHHH, I am about to give up.

Never give up, just find somebody to pull the stock zImage.

Compile the kernel, then compress zImage it using tar:
tar cvf blahblah.tar zImage
Use Odin and select blahblah.tar under PDA then hit Start.
But don't do this as the kernel will put you in bootloop or boot freeze for now.

I get that much, but is the tar supposed to be setup with the same directory structure as the phone?

That's the .pit files job bro.

Yea this is my first samsung experience lol

.tmp_vmlinux1 error on Ubuntu (Kernel Compilation)

Im compiling the google play edition stock kernel for the htc one m8 varient. The kernel is 3.4.0-gb1b6fb1 for android 4.4.4. Im using Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS. I used the following command:
make -j2 ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=/home/richard/Workspace/toolchains/arm-eabi-linaro-4.6.2/bin/arm-eabi-.
So here is the error:
LD drivers/video/built-in.o

Need Help compiling kernel

I am a total noob trying to compile kernel for 4.1.2 stock with sources downloaded from http://developer.sonymobile.com/dow...ves/open-source-archive-for-build-15-1-c-2-9/
Compiling seems to stop at this line:
Code:
CC drivers/input/mouse/trackpoint.o
LD drivers/input/mouse/psmouse.o
LD drivers/input/mouse/built-in.o
LD drivers/input/sensors/built-in.o
LD drivers/input/touchscreen/synaptics-rmi/FIH-touch-tool/built-in.o
LD drivers/input/touchscreen/synaptics-rmi/built-in.o
LD drivers/input/touchscreen/built-in.o
LD drivers/input/built-in.o
Makefile:949: recipe for target 'drivers' failed
make: *** [drivers] Error 2
what I did:
Code:
make clean && make mrproper
make proj_S3A_user_defconfig
make -j8 ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILER=arm-none-eabi-
this is my cross compiler version:
Code:
arm-none-eabi-gcc --version
arm-none-eabi-gcc (Arch Repository) 5.1.0
Running 64-bit Arch with multilibs.
Code:
uname -a
Linux killer-arch 3.14.43-2-lts #1 SMP Fri May 22 03:36:10 UTC 2015 x86_64 GNU/Linux
Any helps appreciated.

This problem was fixed using 4.9 Linaro and exporting both CROSS_COMPILE & ARCH variables first.
