compile kernel and uboot only #16

Closed tm4dev closed 2 years ago

tm4dev commented 2 years ago

Hello, I've just found your image MiniMyth2-armv8-master-11.23.0.r2941-board-h616.tanix_tx6s-SD-Image.img.xz could be bootable on my tvbox - x96 mate (h616), no error on serial console.

I want to compile kernel and uboot to run ubuntu (or armbian) on it, could you give me some hints? I know this is off-topic and taking your time, but I'm new on compiling kernel and really need your help, please :smile:

I've tried uboot trees from https://github.com/u-boot/u-boot and https://github.com/jernejsk/linux-1/tree/h616-full, but it stuck, here is log

Hi, This might be a bit more tricky.... 1.kernel:

2.bootloader: Generally You need compile ATF & Uboot then install in correct way on SD card. Probably easier will be do DD bootloader from MiniMyth2 sdcard image to yours SD card + ask uboot to use DTB for x96 Mate

sudo dd if=/dev/<SD_card> of=tanix-tx6s-bootloader.img bs=1048576 count=16

omg, thank you so much! I don't think you reply :smile: I'll follow your guide, still need your help then :smiley: thanks!!

btw: i'm fan of archlinux & https://endeavouros.com you may look on https://github.com/warpme/archlinuxarm

tm4dev commented 2 years ago

hmm, if I go for archlinux with your "ArchLinux ARM TanixTX6 image, 5.11 kernel" on my tvbox, what I need are:

  1. write ArchLinux-TanixTX6.img to SD card
  2. put x96mate dtb on boot partition
  3. edit boot.scr to load x96mate dtb
  4. compile 5.14 (or 5.15) kernel then replace those binary onto sdcard

Did I miss something? so what about uboot? Do I need compile it (with x96mate config, dts...) then dd to sdcard ?

warpme commented 2 years ago

Oh - i put links to archlinux etc just FYI. For h616 tx6s you need build archlinux kernel with current patches. You need any aarch64 box with running archlinuxarm to compile 5.14 kernel with my patches...

bro, thank you a lot! I followed your guide and this https://github.com/hexdump0815/linux-mainline-and-mali-allwinner-h6-kernel with this tree https://github.com/jernejsk/linux-1 Compiled 5.15.0 kernel and it just work :smile: thank you for the very detailed guide :smile:
