Question: How did you install aarch64?

[EinSatzMitX]

Hey!

I've been following this tutoial for a few days now and I must say that it's become increasingly hardwr to follow along as you apparently installed aarch64 on a different way than I did. I installed it using ''' sudo apt get ''' on WSL but through that i have to write my makefile content different and that's become very hard, as I am getting strange error messages that shouldn't come up at all. I'd like to hear what you did different because it's probably really simple and I might have just forgotten to do it. Thanks for your response and patience with me :D

ok so i just copied your stuff again .-. and i get this as an output:

einsatzmitx@DESKTOP-K54UIMD:/mnt/c/Users/Peter/Desktop/Additum2024/Rpi4OS$ make /bin/rm kernel8.elf .o .img > /dev/null 2> /dev/null || true make: *** No rule to make target 'boot.S', needed by 'boot.o'. Stop.

Intriguing! Can you share a copy of your Makefile please?

As for how I got my environment up and running... from a clean WSL Ubuntu environment, follow this paragraph:

Download and unpack Arm’s gcc compiler. For reasons that I won’t go into here, you’ll need to use the “AArch64 ELF bare-metal target”. Since I’m using WSL on Windows 10 to emulate Ubuntu, I downloaded the x86_64 Linux hosted cross-compiler.

Also install GNU make - you’ll need it soon enough. Because I’m using WSL, for me that was simply a matter of typing sudo apt install make and entering my password.

Ok so it turns out that, since I installed the Compiler on WSL and in my makefile i wrote ''' GCCPATH ?= aarch64-linux-gnu ''' I would have to change my code from ''' $(GCCPATH)/aarch64-none-elf-gcc $(GCCFLAGS) -c boot.S -o boot.o ''' To ''' $(GCCPATH)-gcc $(GCCFLAGS) -c boot.S -o boot.o '''

This resolved the wide variety of makefile errors i got and since that everything has been working alright

Glad to hear you've resolved the issue! Sorry I wasn't more helpful 😄
