In short, I'm trying to build a FULLY-PREEMPT-REALTIME system to run on my Orange Pi Zero 2W.   

 

I used this post as a reference, and got quite far. But, I'm stuck on something that I believe I undestand, but don't know how to resolve. 

I don't believe this is a probleme specific to my board though.

 

 

What I've done so far with success is both install and run a pre-built Armbian Image on this board, as well as build my own image and run it.  Both work perfectly.

 

Now, I'm attempting to apply the RT patch and build a fresh image (or even just a Kernel) to get the FULL REALTIME kernel support working. 

However, the build system fails after the kernel is built sucesfully, as it is unable to find the resulting kernel image generated.

I belive the issue is simply that when the RT .patch is applied and configured to the kernel, it builds a kernel file with an alterered filename.  

Instead of 6.6.65-current-sunxi64 It creates 6.6.65-rt47-current-sunxi64  

As a result, the build process for the kernel stage fails as it's unable to find the file it is expecting to find.

 

Here is what I have done, and what outputs I am finding.

 

As stated, It was a success with A locally built clean Armbian 

./compile.sh BOARD=orangepizero2w BRANCH=current RELEASE=bookworm BUILD_MINIMAL=yes BUILD_DESKTOP=no KERNEL_CONFIGURE=no AUFS=no KERNELBRANCH='tag:v6.6.65'

System booted up and ran as normal. 

$ uname -a 
inux orangepizero2w 6.6.65-current-sunxi64 #2 SMP Wed Dec 11 15:13:43 UTC 2024 aarch64 GNU/Linux

 

I then attempted to apply the PREEMPT_RT kernel patch.

download and gunzip

https://cdn.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/projects/rt/6.6/patch-6.6.65-rt47.patch.gz

into the directory userpatches/kernel/archive/sunxi-6.6

 

Then a kernel-configure step 

Worth noting that I do see this patch file applied in the output of the following command. 

./compile.sh BOARD=orangepizero2w BRANCH=current RELEASE=bookworm KERNELBRANCH='tag:v6.6.65' kernel-config

Where I proceeded to enable the full REALTIME kernel (4th option).   

General setup -> Preemption Mode -> Fully Preemptible Kernel (Real-Time)

 

Finally followed with a compile command.  

./compile.sh BOARD=orangepizero2w BRANCH=current RELEASE=bookworm BUILD_MINIMAL=yes BUILD_DESKTOP=no KERNEL_CONFIGURE=no AUFS=no KERNELBRANCH='tag:v6.6.65'

 

The part of the build output that I beleive is relevant is this. It shows the failure, and what I believe is an indication of why it fails.  It appears that the build script it is not aware of needing to find the file name that has the rt47 portion.

Thanks for any help with this. 

I hope I've provided enough information to make sense of what I'm attempting to do.

I know this isn't the CORRECT fix. 

But, I managed to hack a working image by modifying the file kernel-deb.sh

At line 52, I changed

  

declare kernel_version_family="${kernel_version}-${BRANCH}-${LINUXFAMILY}"

to 

declare kernel_version_family="${kernel_version}-rt47-${BRANCH}-${LINUXFAMILY}"

 

The board booted, and uname shows the kernel I expected 

$ uname -a
Linux orangepizero2w 6.6.65-rt47-current-sunxi64 #7 SMP PREEMPT_RT Wed Dec 11 15:13:43 UTC 2024 aarch 64 GNU/Linux
