@Werner - I tried, hope it is worth to publish my " tutorial " post, also feel free to adjust. Perhaps I'll add some more screenshots where to find the unnecessary network drivers ( WiFi and Blutooth ) etc etc, but guess that is just my specific scenario for the OPiOnePlus board which is being used as a wireguard/ pihole server

In this tutorial we build a custom .config for OrangePiOnePlus board, eg: to remove blutooth, WiFi and or USB3.x support since the hardware is not onboard, alternatively you can adjust settings to your needs which is not in the default .config. The section mentions, if file " userpatches/linux-$KERNELFAMILY-$KERNELBRANCH.config " exists, it will be used instead of default one from " config ". This means for the OPiOnePlus : " linux-sunxi64-dev.config " should be created, but please note "dev" is just one of the three options available, which are: " current ", " legacy

ah now it seems to work: output.log:Displaying message: Using kernel config provided by user userpatches/linux-sunxi64-dev.config info output.log:Displaying message: Using kernel config provided by user userpatches/linux-sunxi64-dev.config info All the time missed the connection between the main ( predefined .configs ) at : /home/armbian/config/kernel. Same name simply needs to be saved to /home/armbian/userpatches/ , thus not .config as I stubbornly did till now. Thanks @Igor and also my sincere apologies @Werner for my attempt littering in the new se

Hi, I am trying to find a quicker way of customising my .config for eg orangepioneplus board as I do not require Bluetooth, WIFI etc. etc. So tried to put a config file ( KERNEL_CONFIGURE=yes | BRANCH=dev ) in one of these directories, but alas /home/armbian/userpatches and /home/armbian/userpatches/kernel/sunxi-dev Still failing after Reading these topics - user configurations - building armbian / Providing build configuration - build options So therefore can one explain ( quick tutorial ) how to ach

patching.log looks "fine" , suppose these patches are valid for upcoming 5.9 ( 5.6 and 5.8 kernel onwards? ) as 2/ is related to the scrollback being removed in rc6. Just not sure what 1/ the general packaking patch does, but as said on overall looks good! thanks 1/ dolphs@armbian:~/armbian/output/debug$ grep 5.6 patching.log Processing file /home/dolphs/armbian/patch/misc/general-packaging-5.6.y.patch 2/ dolphs@armbian:~/armbian/output/debug$ grep 5.8 patching.log Processing file /home/dolphs/armbian/patch/misc/bootsplash-5.8.10-0001-Revert-vgacon-remove-s

@5kft - The image does build, however the error @Werner mentioned earlier today is there compiling: ./compile.sh BRANCH=dev RELEASE=buster BUILD_MINIMAL=yes BUILD_DESKTOP=no KERNEL_ONLY=no KERNEL_CONFIGURE=no Please find attached patching.log, note the "wifi-brcmfmac-fix-txctl-credits.patch" that complains with: 1 out of 1 hunk FAILED -- saving rejects to file drivers/net/wireless/broadcom/brcm80211/brcmfmac/sdio.c.rej patching.log

holy smokes! You are so right , indeed this time I built with "extrawifi=no" option so I did not "bother" about WiFi errors/ warnings, but definitely this is a point of interest for next iteration

looks like this patch has been added for rc6/ is fixed meanwhile, thanks!

perhaps an idea using " compile.sh " and select particular option from kernel ( save .config in user space ) KERNEL_CONFIGURE=yes

That I addressed previously as well , suppose when we hit final 5.9 that will be worked on . Yet "testing purposes" ( DEV ) I compile using following flags ( default is EXTRAWIFI=yes ) : ./compile.sh BRANCH=dev RELEASE=buster BUILD_MINIMAL=yes BUILD_DESKTOP=no KERNEL_ONLY=no KERNEL_CONFIGURE=no Will check back when rc7 has been released ( rgd dax ), thanks for that info!

OK sounds good! It seems that one has been eliminated, ( smooth patching.log ) however yet stuff related to dax: ( as well a lot of rtl8811cu warnings ) - from compilation.log Error captured: drivers/dax/super.c:325:6: error: redefinition of ‘dax_supported’ 325 | bool dax_supported(struct dax_device *dax_dev, struct block_device *bdev, | ^~~~~~~~~~~~~ In file included from drivers/dax/super.c:16: ./include/linux/dax.h:162:20: note: previous definition of ‘dax_supported’ was here 162 | static inline bool dax_supported(struct dax_device *dax_dev, |

perhaps 5.8.y will be around just another month till it will reach EOL. If I am allowed I'd choose @Werner's proposal as it potentially could re-appear in a future kernel as it seems people are committed to its return ( @phoronix ) and for now put it aside imho

thanks @Igor - read meanwhile some interesting news at phoronix about soft scrollback support, are we upset ;-) ?

Good "morning", After rc6 it seems there is a small glitch Either fix or remove 0001-bootslpash.patch : Just compiled dev for orangepioneplus H6-board - patching.log --- Processing file /home/armbian/patch/misc/0001-bootsplash.patch 1 out of 5 hunks FAILED -- saving rejects to file drivers/video/fbdev/core/fbcon.c.rej compilation.log --- drivers/video/fbdev/core/dummyblit.c:81:14: error: assignment to ‘void (*)(struct vc_data *, struct fb_info *, int, int, int)’ from incompatible pointer type ‘void (*)(struct vc_data *, struct fb

Hi, I owe a rockpi4a which I like to reflash with a custom build dev image: ./compile.sh BRANCH=dev RELEASE=buster BUILD_MINIMAL=yes BUILD_DESKTOP=no KERNEL_ONLY=no KERNEL_CONFIGURE=no BOARD=rockpi4a Can I flash this image directly to emmc, so it boots from it ?
