vf2-torvalds-kernel-config-sfk

My minimal .config to build Linus' kernel on and for VisionFive2.

I configured in only devices I know to be on the board based on how I use it. If I've missed anything, please let me know and I will add it. NB: I tend to favor built-in over modules. My mind can be changed on this, however.

I will update this on each RC, always saying "NO" to any new setting that is not relevant to the VF2. Once a kernel version gets released, I will do a final build and from there create a new config file for the next version's first RC.

The config here will have been tested to have compiled on my VF2:

• Machine model: StarFive VisionFive 2 v1.3B
• OS: Ubuntu Oracular Oriole 24.10
• Compiler: gcc (Ubuntu 14.2.0-4ubuntu2) 14.2.0
• Binary Utilities: binutils (Ubuntu 2.43.1-4ubuntu1) 2.43.1
• Boot device: MMC
• u-boot and spl from Ubuntu package u-boot-starfive:riscv64 version 2024.01+dfsg-5ubuntu2

How I build:

• git pull the latest sources immediately after Linus announces the RC/Release
• gmake -j5 mrproper to clean up after previous build
• copy this kernel config as .config in the top level of the kernel sources
• gmake -j5 oldconfig
• nohup make INSTALL_MOD_STRIP=1 BUILD_TOOLS=y -j5 bindeb-pkg &
