Are you compiling locally? Download, unzip it as .img, and put it in a fixed directory

[ophub]

Are you a mac computer?

Use the ubuntu system and install the local environment according to the instructions.

Or directly use github online compilation

[pulpoff]

i am on ubuntu, and i can build armbian from their src and kernel from flippy. question is how to package kernel from flippy for your armbian-update tool i have changed armbian-update tool to install from local files, now need to create those files . .

[pulpoff]

Now managed to build armbian with your script, next to make sure kernel is compiled with new config ..

[pulpoff]

Can you tell me how to compile the required kernel files for armbian-update please? I mean these files : boot-5.15.2-flippy-67+.tar.gz

dtb-allwinner-5.15.2-flippy-67+.tar.gz

dtb-amlogic-5.15.2-flippy-67+.tar.gz

dtb-rockchip-5.15.2-flippy-67+.tar.gz

modules-5.15.2-flippy-67+.tar.gz

i tried to run like this ./make -d -b s922x -k 5.15.2 -a false but it did not help

[ophub]

You first build armbian with my script. After installation, directly compile the kernel on armbian and install it to use.

No need to make a kernel package, and use armbian-config.

[pulpoff]

i built armbian with your script .. but it uses kernel from binary from your website .. how to compile custom kernel and package it ? where should i install the kernel after i compile it with armbian ?

kernel 5.12.19 works at 2.2Ghz , i also see that odroid n2+ runs with same cpu at 2.4 ghz. I would like to add those overclock speeds to 5.15.2 .. can u help me ? thanks

[pulpoff]

the raw speed difference is quite a game changer see my benchmark with 5.12.19 here :

this shows that S922 can be much faster than RK3399

[ophub]

Download the source code from kernel.org, make menuconfig custom configuration. make -j4 compile...For related operations, please refer to the official documentation. After completion, make modules_install && make install

[ophub]

flippy provides optimized source code, you can customize the configuration to compile.

https://github.com/unifreq/linux-5.12.y

[pulpoff]

but make modules_install and make install won't generate the files for armbian-update how can i generate files and use armbian-update?

[pulpoff]

i have compiled unifreq kernel 5.15.2, but it does not produce files for armbian-update that i want to use ..

these : boot-5.12.19-flippy-62+.tar.gz dtb-amlogic-5.12.19-flippy-62+.tar.gz modules-5.12.19-flippy-62+.tar.gz dtb-allwinner-5.12.19-flippy-62+.tar.gz dtb-rockchip-5.12.19-flippy-62+.tar.gz

how do u create them ??

[pulpoff]

see this link please to understand the issue

normal s922x vs overclocked

[ophub]

After completion, make modules_install && make install

In this way, the kernel compiled by yourself has been installed. No need to use armbian-update.

[pulpoff]

but i want to use armbian-update .. why not just tell me how to create those files ? please, it will help me a lot ..

[ophub]

https://github.com/ophub/script/blob/main/sh/extract-kernel.sh

This is a method of extracting the kernel file from the official compiled armbian and generating several kernel files according to the flippy kernel package organization.

Corresponding file:

https://github.com/ophub/amlogic-s9xxx-armbian/releases/download/Armbian_Aml_buster_2021.11.14.0114/Armbian_21.11.0-trunk_Lepotato_buster_current_5.10.79.img.gz

Unzip to .img

Only the officially generated armbian...img original file is placed in the build/output/images directory

extract-kernel.sh is placed in the root directory (the same directory as make)

chmod +x extract-kernel.sh sudo ./extract-kernel.sh

[pulpoff]

would it be possible for u to make 5.15.2 custom kernel with overclocking freqs from 5.12.19 ? even 2.2ghz would make a big difference, currently it tops at 1.8Ghz

please update the file in github, it is much improved!

[ophub]

We all use the kernel shared by flippy. He is familiar with these boxes and knows how to adapt.

Do you have any special needs for custom kernels? What research is used? Who are the specific groups for use?

[pulpoff]

this extracts the kernel from armbian image .. but to put it in armbian image from flippy 5.15.y tree, after compile, what do u use ?

[pulpoff]

also i don't see anywhere the src files for 5.12.19 kernel to check how overclocking is done ..

[ophub]

umount -f ${armbian_tmp}/boot 2>/dev/null
umount -f ${armbian_tmp} 2>/dev/null

[ophub]

Put these three kernel files in any directory of the armbian system (such as /root), and execute armbian-update 5.12.19 in the current directory to use the local kernel file update (the script first checks the local current directory, if there are files Will not download from github.com)

[pulpoff]

[pulpoff]

works

[ophub]

I don’t understand how the kernel is overclocked. I am a user and have not compiled a personalized kernel.

[pulpoff]

look , the mission is simple

1. look at 5.12.19 sources and find the proper overclock freqs
2. put those freqs in 5.15.2, recompile
3. use armbian-update to install

[pulpoff]

for GT King there're 2 different dtb files in /BOOT : normal and -oc (overclock), that allows 2.2Ghz freq. The kernel should support this freq, as there're are no other places that limit freq. Only 5.12.19 supports 2.2, rest of kernels i tried all work at 1.8Ghz

[ophub]

Before doing this, find out how to rescue if you fail to install a custom kernel, and make sure that your continuous testing has a way to recover.

[ophub]

I don't understand the setting of kernel parameters, you can explore it yourself.

[pulpoff]

i cannot install the kernel with make install after building from flippy sources, thats why i need to use armbian-update ..

[pulpoff]

to rescue i will just rewrite /BOOT partition from your armbian image )))

[ophub]

The path and packaging method of the kernel file have been clearly written in the script just now.

You compile the kernel under the armbian system, install it, extract it from the corresponding location, and package it. This is the method of compiling the kernel locally.

[pulpoff]

why i can't extract with this tool kernel from another armbian image? root@mac:/usr/src/amlogic-s9xxx-armbian-main# ./extract-kernel.sh Start build kernel for amlogic-s9xxx-openwrt ... copy armbian to tmp folder ... armbian: Armbian_21.08.1_Odroidn2_hirsute_edge_5.13.12_xfce_desktop.img mount armbian ... mount: /usr/src/amlogic-s9xxx-armbian-main/tmp_kernel/armbian_tmp: special device /dev/loop11p2 does not exist.

i can mount the img file with no problems from file manager..

[ophub]

Officially compiled firmware with only one partition uses the unmodified script.

The above modifications are suitable for the dual-partition firmware that I packaged.

Do your own research for other people.

[pulpoff]

ok, makes sense, thanks !

up to now i can't anyhow test my new kernel .. no way to install it ..

[pulpoff]

once i built new kernel with flippy, how to put it into armbian image or install it ?
