[Xperia S] Instructions for building kernel

Sony seems to be really supporting dev community...
they just released some instructions on how to create kernel for this device...
read the source link:
http://developer.sonymobile.com/wp/...-archive-released-with-building-instructions/
we can may be use this thread as a place to have a feedback/discuss the issues so that it may help other devs...

Nice, now we can get going on some custom ROM's, maybe even cyanogenmod will make a ROM

@DooMLord
Have you got your device yet ?
-----------------
I hope to see MiUi v4 working on my Xperia S , that will be a total Destruction :O

sadly nope... the device isnt released in India yet

nice comment on their site DooM
i'm really keen to try, (read: mess about) but please excuse my ignorance - what defconfig should i be making? fuji_nozomi?
Code:
make: *** No rule to make target `include/config/auto.conf', needed by `include/config/kernel.release'. Stop.

And now... Let the ROMs and kernels begin...

Gonna jab my hands into the dirt and try building as well

Hi all

https://github.com/DooMLoRD/android_prebuilt_toolchains

I hope you guys know this, but you can't boot custom kernels yet..
Sony needs to release a patched bootloader first, so don't flash your own kernels yet and wait for the bootloader update from Sony

DooMLoRD to the rescue yet again. Thanks man, arm-eabi-4.4.3 worked a treat with the problem i had 2 weeks ago ^ back up there (i guess my post should have been more explicit)
6.0.A.3.62 and 6.0.A.5.6 just compiled no problem with that tool-chain! Yes, I know we can't use them (yet), but it was something i needed to do for my own satisfaction

i heard that the bootloader is fixed in 6.0.A.5.6 or higher.
anyone tried it???? (i mailed sony about it and they told me that it is fixed in that firmware)

Don't think anyone has put the 5.6 fw up yet.
Edit : most recent up is the Japanese 4.1

When I said no separate update I meant it'll be included with ICS, which should be coming really soon, likely as soon as legal stuff gets sorted out.

You will need to also run a
$ make mr proper
inside the kernel folder. I had some other weirdness working on the goghvmu kernel as well. Good luck!
