Error while building uImage

[CodeOn-ArK]

Hello This is the error I get when compiling the Kernel command used arm-make uImage dtbs modules LOADADDR=0x80008000 -j8 Using branch v5.4 error :

Hi @CodeOn-ArK sorry, we have not shipped "uImage" by default for many years now.. can you replicate this on mainline? Sorry it's something i never test..

[CodeOn-ArK]

Well Master gives this 😆

arm-make is aliased to

[RobertCNelson]

on master use "omap2plus_defconfig"

[CodeOn-ArK]

This is the error now with master and omap2plus_defconfig

https://packages.debian.org/bullseye/libgmp-dev

sudo apt update ; sudo apt install libgmp-dev

[CodeOn-ArK]

It compiles well, with even lesser number of warnings

[RobertCNelson]

Cool, so no issues?? Closing?

[CodeOn-ArK]

Is unable to boot the image an issue of the tree, or I have to try harder?

[RobertCNelson]

mainline should boot fine..

please post your full serial log.. (use j1)...

Regards,

[CodeOn-ArK]

Seems I can boot it, the LEDs are blinking but can't get any logs on serial

setenv bootargs 'console=/dev/ttyO0,115200 root=/dev/mmcblk0p1 rw rootwait'

with this I boot. The LEDs lit up after 2-3 seconds

[CodeOn-ArK]

Linux beaglebone 5.15.0-rc4-00015-g60a9483534ed #5 SMP armv7l GNU/Linux

yay! boots well with console=ttyO0 Thanks a lot!

Hi, I have downloaded the linux-5.10 branch, while using "bb.org_defconfig" I am receiving the same error compiling linux kernel. I am using cross compile tool.

[movhdi]

I installed libgmp-dev as you said, but it did not work. my log is:

In file included from scripts/gcc-plugins/gcc-common.h:139, from scripts/gcc-plugins/arm_ssp_per_task_plugin.c:3: /home/movhdi/embedlinuxWS/Downloads/gcc-linaro-13.0.0-2022.11-x86_64_arm-linux-gnueabihf/bin/../lib/gcc/arm-linux-gnueabihf/13.0.0/plugin/include/builtins.h:23:10: fatal error: mpc.h: No such file or directory 23 | #include | ^~~ compilation terminated. make[2]: *** [scripts/gcc-plugins/Makefile:47: scripts/gcc-plugins/arm_ssp_per_task_plugin.so] Error 1

[RobertCNelson]

@movhdi did you read your build error?

linux-gnueabihf/13.0.0/plugin/include/builtins.h:23:10: fatal error: mpc.h: No such file or directory
23 | #include <mpc.h>
| ^~~~~~~
compilation terminated.

mpc.h not gmp.h....

That's another library.. https://packages.debian.org/bullseye/libmpc-dev

sudo apt update ; sudo apt install libmpc-dev

[movhdi]

Thank you, that is right. I installed this lib but the problem persisted, I also changed the toolchain from version 13 to 7.5 of linaro, and oit compiled successfully.
