how to add another patching process ?


Recommended Posts

Dear All

I Need to implement : http://www.bananapi.com/index.php/forum/interfacing/1575-socketcan-dirver-for-a10-a20

Based on http://forum.armbian.com/index.php/topic/379-learning-device-tree/

I have to do patch to arch/arm/boot/dts/sun7i-a20.dtsi (to add can port) and arch/arm/boot/dts/sun7i-a20-cubieboard2.dts (to move led pins to another PE04/PE05)

I take copies of dts and dtsi files from my previous build (so it's touched by igor's script), and make some modification and create a patch

1. cb2can-dtsi.patch : patch to activate can0 at PH20 and PH21

---------------

My question is :
1. Is that a proper patches ? since I could not try it yet.
2. Where is the safest place to place patching proces in the build script ?
What if I insert :

if [[ $BOARD == cubieboard2 ]] ; then
    isCAN=`cat .config |grep CONFIG_CAN= |cut -f2 -d"="`
    if [ "$isCAN" != "n" ]; then
        echo "WE NEED CAN"
        patchme "Add CAN port to dtsi"             "cb2can-dtsi.patch"             "default" "kernel"  
        patchme "Move LED to PE04/PE05 in dts"             "cb2can-dts.patch"             "default" "kernel"  
    fi
fi

Start at line 134 of patching.sh ?

Current CAN patch (version 8) consists of 4 parts (driver itself, kernel configs, DT config) and can be found in follow-ups to this message: http://www.spinics.net/lists/netdev/msg343137.html

You'll need all 4 parts, and DT config also needs CAN section in device-specific sun7i-a20-cubieboard2.dts file, as by default in dtsi file CAN controller is disabled.

By the way, mainline kernel just updated from 4.2.5 to 4.3, so right now build process most likely will fail due to outdated kernel config.

This patch implementation is o.k. at the current script setup.

if [[ $BOARD == cubieboard2 ]] ; then

However I have no idea if those patches are operational. If you succeed we can add them to default building.

I just fixed broken patches and update configuration. 4.3 can be built and older 4.x kernels also works.

That patch is not good enough tobe added to default building.

 

If the source is fresh downloaded (untouched yet) , it will do the work.

But when I re do the build process, it double what it did .... causing a naming conflict when compiling DTB.
