can not run self build kernel on kobo glo hd #94

Closed apreiml closed 2 years ago

apreiml commented 4 years ago

I've tried to build the kernel from this repository

I cross compiled it using gcc4 on armv7. Building it works fine after applying this patch. But it fails during boot with "Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address 001c4a60".

kernel-fail.log

I've also tried the device config from /proc/config.gz

You probably don't need this anymore, but you need to build it with a (slightly) newer toolchain. Grab arm-nickel-linux-gnueabihf from here: https://github.com/Kobo-InkBox/kernel/tree/master/toolchain/arm-nickel-linux-gnueabihf Upstream: https://github.com/pgaskin/NickelTC

Thanks! Maybe I'll dig out the e-reader again :).

There is an open-source OS I made that supports it now, FWIW: https://inkbox.ddns.net You can download an SD card image here: http://23.163.0.39/bundles/inkbox/native/n437/inkbox-1.9-n437.xz
