How to configure Kernel to activate extra options/modules

[mdbananapi]

Hi Igor!

 

I am sorry for so many questions, but I just can't seem to find the solution for my question.

 

I need to activate (install) the Philips SAA7111/3/4/5 video decoders module, that is located in Device Drivers -> Multimedia Support -> Encoders, decoders, sensors and other helper chips . (when running menuconfig)

 

Usually, this is done by downloading a new kernel, then running the menuconfig and going to Drivers/Multimedia Support and unselect "Autoselect ancillary drivers (tuners, sensors, i2c, frontends)" and a new list of "Encoders, decoders, sensors and other helper chips ." appears. And there i select Philips SAA7111/3/4/5 video decoders module by pressing Y. After this I save the .config and compile the kernel and install it and reboot.

 

I tried this on banana pi and it compiled without errors but I could not boot it. The image of the kernel, in /boot folder somehow needed to be linked to the zImage, which I could not do (I have read about the u-boot and could not figure out how to use it) and ultimately I decided to install the new Debian Wheezy 4.1.2 from your website.

 

In a previous post you told me that in order to upgrade kernel, I need to follow the instructions from https://github.com/igorpecovnik/lib/blob/next/documentation/general-faq.md#how-to-update-kernel

 

I did that, and tried to install the same kernel, 4.1.2 but it offered me no way of configuring it.

 

Because the whole point of compiling new kernel is to add the Philips SAA7111/3/4/5 video decoders module, that is present by default in the kernel but it is not included/activated by default.

 

So how can I do this? How can activate the Philips SAA7111/3/4/5 video decoders module ?

 

Thank you very much in advance and sorry for so many questions.

[Igor]

If you are not in rush I'll try to add it to next kernel build.

[mdbananapi]

Thank you very much!

 

But I would still like to know how to configure the Kernel on a Banana pi, for future use. Just in case I may need it sometime.

 

I am configuring and compiling the kernel directly on my banana pi, not on a cross compiler.

 

Here is what I found (based on http://www.lemaker.org/thread-2657-1-1.html)

 

1. apt-get install git build-essential libncurses5-dev u-boot-tools uboot-mkimage
2. cd ~
3. git clone https://github.com/Bananian/linux-bananapi.git--depth 1 ( Can I use this instead? wget http://mirror.igorpecovnik.com/Bananapi_Debian_3.2_wheezy_4.1.2.zip After I unzip it, it is in file format RAW. How can I unpack that file to get access to regular files?)
4. cd linux-bananapi
5. make sun7i_defconfig ( this is something new. I never did this in my previous kernel compilation jobs)
6. make menuconfig
7. make -j2 uImage modules (here a user is reporting that he is getting an error when trying to compile an image from your website  http://www.lemaker.org/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=2657&page=2#pid66107)
8. make modules_install
9. mount /dev/mmcblk0p1 /boot
10. cp arch/arm/boot/uImage /boot
11. reboot

I have read on that forum that I need to continue until step 8 and then to do the following steps:

1. wget http://mirror.igorpecovnik.com/u-boot/linux-u-boot-4.1.2-bananapi_3.2_armhf.deb
2. dpkg -i linux-u-boot-4.1.2-bananapi_3.2_armhf.deb
3. reboot

Is this true? I mean if I run these commands from my banana pi will it allow me to configure the kernel and will it install and boot?

 

If possible, can you please tell me by steps how to do it? I am sure other users will also benefit from this.

 

Thanks!

[Igor]

It's much simpler and faster to add this functionality than teach you step by step how to do it ... even if it's written clearly enough for average Linux user. But problems might occur and this bring more questions.

 

Read forum / FAQ and you'll get much needed info. It's simple but you need to invest some time.

 

Download this image and burn to SD (wait until it's uploaded)

http://mirror.igorpecovnik.com/Bananapi_Debian_3.3_wheezy_4.1.3.zip

 

I added support for Philips SAA7111/3/4/5 video decoders

 

You need to use my image for easy update. For rest read FAQ. Some manual work is needed. I never try to compile kernel on device because it's way to slow. I don't know if my tool works without any fixes but in any case you need to download a proper Linux source.

 

And I hope you know limitations of kernels 3.4 vs 4.x ? BTW: most important things are documented on my blog, sunxi wiki, ...

Thank you very much Igor!

I have installed the kernel 4.1.3 but it shows some errors. When I just start (using putty), I get some errors:

and when I do lsusb, there used to be my easycap somagic usb board in here, but now it does not show.

Could this be caused by kernel or maybe my board is not working good anymore because of the heat?

user1@bananapi:~$ lsusb

Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
Bus 003 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 004 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub

 

But it should have displayed as so:

Bus XXX Device XXX: ID 1c88:0007 Somagic, Inc. 

This was how it was displaying the previous times when I run lsusb.

[Igor]

Ignore errors, you are running DEV version. Not related.

 

Try loading the driver with:

 

modprobe  saa711x

 

Are you running PRO Banana with Wifi or normal one?

 

What you got under lsmod

 

If you want to tweak kernel more I suggest you to establish DEV environment like suggested before.

[mdbananapi]

Hi!

I loaded the driver with modprobe  saa711x and it loads good.

I am running banana pi without wifi.

 

When I run lsmod I get:

user1@bananapi:/lib/modules/4.1.3-bananapi/kernel/drivers/media/usb/smi2021$ lsmod
Module                  Size  Used by

evbug                   1484  0
evdev                   9340  0
sun4i_ts                3722  0
 

 

I think I will install linux on my x86 pc and will try the DEV environment.

 

Thanks!

[Igor]

You can eliminate one error with upgrade:

 

apt-get update 

apt-get upgrade

reboot
