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

Please give Me The Full View Of The Script On Your terminal ..

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

You have errors in kernel config
-kernel is NOT compiled for arm
-cpu is armv7, not armv5t
Do exports and
Code:
make menuconfig
before you try to compile

ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=/opt/arm-2010q1/bin/arm-none-eabi- make semc_anzu_defconfig
or
make menuconfig (and what i have to do exactly in menuconfig?)

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

A lot of thanks for your help
I do the following export
export ARCH=arm
export CROSS_COMPILE=/usr/bin/arm-linux-gnueabi-
then
make semc_anzu_defconfig

This needs to be added in Makefile :
Code:
# This warning generated too much noise in a regular build.
KBUILD_CFLAGS += $(call cc-option, -Wno-unused-but-set-variable)
By default the toolchain stops compiling on all errors.

Compiling AOKP JellyBean from source

Hi,
I've been trying to build a rom from Lord ClockaN´s repo but I run into some issues when trying to embed the kernel.
I've done the following:
$ mkdir ~/src/android
$ cd ~/src/android
$ repo init -u git://github.com/IceColdJelly/platform_manifest.git -b jb
$ repo sync -j16
$ mkdir -p kernel/htc
$ cd kernel/htc
$ git clone git://github.com/TeamNDVRu/htc-kernel-endeavoru.git endeavoru
$ cd endeavoru
$ git checkout -b jellybean origin/jellybean
$ cd ~/src/android
$ cat device/htc/endeavoru/BoardConfig.mk | tail -3
# Kernel building
TARGET_KERNEL_SOURCE := kernel/htc/endeavoru
TARGET_KERNEL_CONFIG := arch/arm/configs/endeavoru_android_config
I copied the kernel config from my running IceColdJelly 0.3 to endeavoru_android_config
Within BoardConfig.mk, I changed endeavoru_android_defconfig to arch/arm/configs/endeavoru_android_config
$ . build/envsetup.sh
$ lunch aokp_endeavoru-userdebug
$ make bacon (or mka)
...

I get this error whether I have the kernel already compiled or not.
What is the supposed way to correctly embed the kernel with the ROM image, keeping the source in sync with
the repo command, just like everything else?

do it the easy way and copy your endeavoru_android_config to <kernel_dir>/.config.

It doesn´t make any difference. I tried compiling the kernel before building the rom, hence the <kernel_dir>/.config
already exists but I get the same error.

[TUTORIAL] Complete Galaxy Nexus Kernel Development

I know a lot of this has been posted before in other locations, but recently I have found some of that data to be incomplete when I was building a custom kernel for my GNex, so just bear with me.
--The Build Environment--
Operating System: Xubuntu 12.04 x86 (I haven't tested it on the x64 version yet)
Dependencies: (using sudo-apt get install)
Code:
git git-core gnupg flex bison gperf build-essential zip hexdump gedit \
curl libc6-dev libncurses5-dev:i386 x11proto-core-dev libx11-dev:i386 gcc \
libreadline6-dev:i386 libgl1-mesa-glx:i386 libgl1-mesa-dev g++-multilib \
mingw32 tofrodos
Other Files Needed:
unpack-mkbootimg - Which I have forked from work4blue@github.
You can grab the modified version from: https://github.com/ClimberTy/unpack-mkbootimg.git
The mkbootimg.c has been modified to fix the default load addresses of the kernel with the GNex (See below for more details).
Android SDK - You just need the Android Debug Bridge (ADB) from the SDK.
Or you can grab a toolkit from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1848036 for a script that will get you the files you need (Internet connection required).
Needed:
Samsung Galaxy Nexus Prime (I9250)
The GNex Bootloader to be Unlocked (http://www.android.gs/how-to-unlock-galaxy-nexus-bootloader/)
Kernel files (See Kernel Source area for locations)
ADB and Fastboot
ARM Cross Compiler - grab from here. NOTE: You'll need the ARM EABI Release. You can also get the ARM Cross Compiler by following the "Downloading a prebuilt gcc" instructions from Google as well.
Place either of these ARM Compilers in the folder you are using to build your KERNELSOURCE.
Linux USB Driver Rules:
Open Terminal and type:
Code:
$ vim /etc/udev/rules.d/70-android.rules
You can use gEdit if you prefer.
Paste in (Ensuring that <username> is the name of your Linux profile):
Code:

Kernel Source:
It is important that you make separate folders to put everything in. Keeping the DEV area organized will help out in the long run.
Code:
$ mkdir -p ~/Documents/Kernel/Source
CyanogenMod 10.1 Kernel from GitHub
Google's Android Kernel (See Downloading Android Kernel section below for more details)
Downloading the Android Kernel:
To download the kernel directly from Google enter in these commands.
Code:
$ git clone https://android.googlesource.com/kernel/omap.git
$ cd omap/
$ git branch -a
What you'll see in response:
Code:
* master
remotes/origin/HEAD -> origin/master
remotes/origin/android-omap-3.0
remotes/origin/android-omap-panda-3.0
remotes/origin/android-omap-steelhead-3.0-ics-aah
remotes/origin/android-omap-tuna-3.0
remotes/origin/android-omap-tuna-3.0-ics-mr1
remotes/origin/android-omap-tuna-3.0-jb-mr0
remotes/origin/android-omap-tuna-3.0-jb-mr1
remotes/origin/android-omap-tuna-3.0-jb-mr1.1
remotes/origin/android-omap-tuna-3.0-jb-pre1
remotes/origin/android-omap-tuna-3.0-mr0
remotes/origin/android-omap-tuna-3.0-mr0.1
remotes/origin/linux-omap-3.0
remotes/origin/master
remotes/origin/sph-l700-fh05
To grab the (at this time) latest Jellybean source:
Code:
$ git checkout remotes/origin/android-omap-tuna-3.0-jb-mr1.1
Otherwise just use:
Code:
$ git clone https://github.com/CyanogenMod/android_kernel_samsung_tuna.git
--Building the Kernel--
In the ~/Documents/Kernel/KERNELSOURCE (varies depending on which kernel you downloaded. For this build I used android_kernel_samsung_tuna-jb as my source directory. The ARM Cross Compiler that I downloaded from the CodeSourcery site is located inside this folder.
In the terminal type:
Code:
$ export ARCH=arm
$ export SUBARCH=arm
$ export CROSS_COMPILE=/home/user/Documents/Kernel/KERNELSOURCE/arm-2011.03/bin/arm-none-eabi-
$ make tuna_defconfig
$ make
NOTE: The [...]/arm-none-eabi- is how it is supposed to be.
Now go grab some lunch or drink a beer or two, it could take about 30-45 mins to compile. You'll know when it is finished when you see:
Code:
OBJCOPY arch/arm/boot/Image
Kernel: arch/arm/boot/Image is ready

Building modules, stage 2.
MODPOST 4 modules
CC crypto/ansi_cprng.mod.o
LD [M] crypto/ansi_cprng.ko
CC drivers/rpmsg/rpmsg_client_sample.mod.o
LD [M] drivers/rpmsg/rpmsg_client_sample.ko

LD [M] drivers/rpmsg/rpmsg_server_sample.ko
CC drivers/scsi/scsi_wait_scan.mod.o
LD [M] drivers/scsi/scsi_wait_scan.ko
The zImage is what we need because it is the compressed Linux kernel. Note the path of where the zImage is located. We also need the *.ko files (Kernel Modules). Remember their paths because you'll need to create those same paths later when you rebuild the kernel. Probably best to move these files to a new folder, I have used /home/user/Documents/Kernel/CompiledKernel/.
--Backing Up the Original Kernel--
It is important that we save a backup of the original kernel just in case there are errors in the kernel you are creating and we need to revert. Each device has their images saved in somwhat similar spots but they can change depending on device or OS.
Before these images were located on /proc/mnt location but with this model/OS they are stored elsewhere. Your phone will most likely need to be rooted prior to this operation. So either push the SuperUser app to your phone or grab Koushik Dutta's version from ROM Manager in ClockworkMod (http://download.clockworkmod.com/test/superuser-2.zip).
How to grab the images:
Code:
$ adb shell
$ su
$ ls -l /dev/block/platform/omap/omap_hsmmc.0/by-name

We need to backup the boot and recovery images.
Copying the Android Images:
Code:
cat /dev/block/mmcblk0p7 > /sdcard/boot
cat /dev/block/mmcblk0p8 > /sdcard/recovery
Pulling the Images Off the Device:
Code:
$ dab pull /sdcard/IMAGE_NAME ~/Documents/Kernel/OriginalKernel/
NOTE: This assumes you have this folder already created.
--Unpacking the Kernel--
Splitting the Image:
Using the unpack-mkbootimg-master kit you can split the image by using the ./unpackbootimg binary. The command is:
Code:
$ ./unpackbootimg -i ~/Documents/Kernel/OriginalKernel/boot
The results should be similar to this:
Code:
BOARD_KERNEL_CMDLINE
BOARD_KERNEL_BASE 80000000
BOARD_OAGE_SIZE 2048
The output files in your unpack-mkbootimg-master folder should be similar to this:
Code:
drwxrwxr-x 4 user user 4.0K Mar 3 11:22 .
drwxr-xr-x 3 user user 4.0K Mar 3 11:15 ..

A simple hexdump (using "hex dump -n 40") of the boot image from the GNex phone should give us the results of:
Code:
0000000 41 4e 44 52 4f 49 44 21 68 54 3f 00 00 80 00 80
0000010 4d 5c 05 00 00 00 00 81 00 00 00 00 00 00 f0 80
0000020 00 01 00 80 00 08 00 00
0000028
Results may vary between Android versions. These numbers will help us in verifying that your kernel that you're creating is indeed correct.
What is needed to be taken away from this is the so called "Android Magic" which are the first four bytes of data in the hex dump.
Code:
Android Magic = 4e41 5244 494f 2144
The next two bytes are the kernel size, in this case (0x5468 0x003f).
The rest of the byes are as follows:
Code:
Kernel Base = 8000 8000
Ramdisk Address = 8100 0000
Secondary Address = 80f0 0000
Tags Address = 8000 0100
These values are what I had to change in the mkbootimg application in the unpack-mkbootimg-master. Otherwise the kernel images would be off and they would not load correctly on the device. Look at https://github.com/ClimberTy/unpack-mkbootimg/blob/master/mkbootimg.c for more details.
Splitting the Ramdisk
For organizations sake move the boot-* files to a new folder. From here we need to open the boot-ramdisk.gz.
Code:
$ mkdir UnpackedKernel
$ mv boot-* UnpackedKernel/
$ cd UnpackedKernel/
$ gunzip -c boot-ramdisk.gz | cpio -i
This splits open the boot-ramdisk.gz file so we can place our newly created kernel modules (anything listed as .KO) in their appropriate folders or make modifications to any of the other files in the UnpackedKernel/ folder.
Remember these, we'll need them later.
--Rebuilding the Kernel--
After making the modifications and placing the kernel modules in the UnpackedKernel/ folders . Again you may need to create the directories for these kernel module locations. See your compiled kernel printout for the correct paths. Now that everything is in place you need to rebuild the boot-ramdisk.gz:
Code:
$ pwd
[…]/UnpackedKernel/
$ find . | cpio -o -H newc | gzip > ../newramdisk.cpio.gz
$ cd ..
Now copy in the /CompiledKernel/zImage into the /unpack-mkbootimg-master/ folder and run this command to build the kernel:
Code:
$ ./mkbootimg --kernel zImage --ramdisk newramdisk.cpio.gz --base 80000000 --pagesize 2048 -o newKernel.img
Now to verify that the compiled kernel is right on par with the original kernel you need to do a hexdump.
Code:
$ hex dump -n 40 newKernel.img
Should print out results similar to this:
Code:
0000000 4e41 5244 494f 2144 cee4 0044 8000 8000
0000010 3e08 004b 0000 8100 0000 0000 0000 80f0
0000020 0100 8000 0800 0000
0000028
And as you can see all the addresses line up as they should, the only thing that should have changed is the kernel size which is expected.
--Test Flashing to the Device--
Move your newKernel.img image file into its own folder (e.g. ~/Documents/Kernel/NewKernel/) then put your device into the recovery mode to test and see if it boots, if it doesn't then "wash, rinse, and repeat".
To put your device into recovery mode, first power it off then power it back on and immediately hold down the POWER, VOLUME UP and VOLUME DOWN buttons. Select RECOVERY from the menu and press POWER to enter.
Code:
$ fastboot flash boot ~/Documents/Kernel/NewKernel/newKernel.img
$ fastboot reboot
Wait a few seconds till it boots up. If you don't receive any device response after a minute or so then put your phone back into recovery and flash the original kernel. If it works then, congratulations! If not try, try rebuilding it again and verifying you have the correct addresses or all the kernel modules installed properly.

Try using the CodeSourcery ARM Compilers instead of the prebuilts (http://www.mentor.com/embedded-software/sourcery-tools/sourcery-codebench/editions/lite-edition/). The version you want are the EABI release under the ARM Processors section. These compilers haven't failed me once since I've used them. Let me know if that works for you.

Thank you so much for this guide! I've been compiling my own ROM for a while now, and I feel like taking another step in development, by building my own kernel. I'm running into the following make error(s) though. I'm completely new to kernel development, so I figured I'd fire out my questions here, and hope that you guys can help me out. Below is my entire build environment (as far as I could get) - from the 'mkdir' commands to the *make* errors I'm experiencing... As you'll see, I haven't gotten very far, so I'm clearly doing something wrong at an elementary level. Any help would be appreciated. :good:

I have run into this issue before, and I believe what I did to solve this was delete all the files in the build directory and re-git them from a specific branch. For example building ICS I used:
Code:
$ git branch -a
$ git checkout remotes/origin/android-omap-tuna-3.0-ics-mr1
Try it and see if that works for your JB files. I think for you it's:
Code:
$ git checkout remotes/origin/android-omap-tuna-3.0-jb-mr1.1

If you haven't had luck figuring out the problem , you need to add a hyphen at the end of your toolchain , so it would be
" export CROSS_COMPILE=~/home/jjhiza/Blowfish/arm-2013.05-23-arm-none-eabi- "
that just tells it to use all the binary files that start with eabi-

Dude, this tutorial is f'king amazing.
For some odd reason, my kernel will boot and run just fine temporarily using the "fastboot boot" command, but I get write errors when trying to "fastboot flash" it, and flashing the new kernel fails. I've tried in xubuntu 12.04 x86, Windows 7 x64 using command line and Windows x64 using Wug's Nexus toolkit.
Any ideas?
I tried repacking the ROM that I'm using (Shiny 4.3 10/11/13 build) with my kernel and reflashing it, but no joy. I'm sure there's more to making kernel into a flashable .zip than I realize...

LineageOS source compilation fails

I'm trying to build Lineage 14.1 for serranoltexx (for 5 days now).
When I started the compilation using "breakfast serranoltexx" an error appears after the 7 percent mark (~2minutes).
I followed this guide: wiki.lineageos. org/devices/serranoltexx/build
with a fresh Ubuntu 17.04 VM Box installation two times but that error always appears.
The only thing I still could mention is that pulled the proprietary blobs using my phone as stated in the instructions not with the stock Rom but Lineage 14.1 already installed.
Full console output:

[Q] Help to compile the Mi A3 kernel?

Hi, I'm wanting to compile the mi-a3 kernel to use with GrapheneOs(as it needs to be compiled before the rom compilation).
I'm trying to compile it with this script:
Code:
#!/bin/bash
set -o errexit -o pipefail
[[ $# -eq 1 ]] || exit 1
DEVICE=$1
if [[ $DEVICE != laurel_sprout && $DEVICE != blueline && $DEVICE != crosshatch && $DEVICE != bonito ]]; then
echo invalid device codename
exit 1
fi

which I modified from the one at kernel/google/crosshatch/build.sh on the grapheneOs android 10 repo.
But when I run the script I get an make error, this is the last few lines from the script when it throws the error out:

I think the problem with this is the defconfig I used, which was located at arch/arm64/configs/vendor/laurel_sprout-perf_defconfig as I don't know which one I should use but can anyone help me into compiling the kernel?
kernel link
thanks.
