pablo Posted April 29, 2017 Posted April 29, 2017 Hi Igor Great job. Could you help me: I try to made a personaliced kernel image to activate the rotate of screen from the kernel, i found in sunxi a tutorial, but have many errors in the way. You have a more explained tutorial or web from i can get the steps. I'm new on linux, but i need this for job. Thansk so much. PD: exuce by my so bad english... 0 Quote

Than we will be able to help you. In the mean time check documentation regarding building. This: https://docs.armbian.com/Developer-Guide_Build-Preparation/ is all what we have right now and we need to add and change some stuff when possible. 1 Quote
pablo Posted May 2, 2017 Posted May 2, 2017 Hi Igor I can build an image of armbian correctly, thanks. But I don't alter /sys/class/graphic/fbcon/rotate & rotate_all. I understand that after of build the kernel I need to modify this files to activate the screen rotation. I need activate the rotation from the kernel. I follow your link (https://docs.armbian.com/Developer-Guide_Build-Preparation/) and alter "compile.sh" for activate the personalization menu, then select rotation, but doesn't work. I explained well? PD: I attached the log. output.log 0 Quote
Igor Posted May 2, 2017 Author Posted May 2, 2017 This means your system is able to compile stock kernel. Now add CREATE_PATCHES="yes" and when you are prompted to apply KERNEL changes (first is for U-BOOT), edit whatever in kernel source and press ENTER when done. This way you can alter source and a patch of your changes will be generated ... 0 Quote
pablo Posted May 3, 2017 Posted May 3, 2017 Hi Igor As I was saying, I'm new to Linux. I made the changes you mentioned (CREATE_PATCHES = "yes") but I received an error stating that it was not possible to compile, I probably altered something that was not due. When the system is compiled one accesses to "/sys/class/graphic/fbcon/", in that directory are the "rotate" and "rotate_all" files, which are not editable (I tried changing permissions) either replaceable. To be able to change the value of these files (or another one that activates the rotation) Which file should I edit? Thanks again. 0 Quote
Igor Posted May 3, 2017 Author Posted May 3, 2017 Basic procedure: 1. you copy compile.sh out 2. Edit here https://github.com/armbian/build/blob/master/compile.sh#L30, set to yes 3. ./compile 4. When you get prompt at u-boot press enter 5. When you get prompt at kernel, open new terminal, become root and edit desired files in a source which is a subject of compilation 6. When you are done, go back to terminal 1 and press ENTER 7. Do it again. Inside kernel source you are on your own, we can't help you - its a work of hundreds of people ... 0 Quote

Jason Rogers Posted July 11, 2017 Posted July 11, 2017 Is there a guide for bringing up a new/unsupported arm based board from the ground up under armbian? I am piecing things together from the forum and its probably all there but I have a feeling Ill be asking a lot of already-answered questions. 0 Quote
umiddelb Posted July 12, 2017 Posted July 12, 2017 To do this, you might start with a Linux vendor image for you board, write it to µSD card, keep the kernel image and the kernel modules, delete the rest of the root filesystem and copy the contents of an appropriate Armbian rootfs (preferably server edition) to your µSD card. Which board do you have in mind? 0 Quote

umiddelb Posted July 12, 2017 Posted July 12, 2017 The Armbian build system is well documented, but it builds everything from source. If you don't have access to the source and/or don't know which source to take, it might be easier to start with an existing firmware and/or kernel. You should have serial console access to the board and know how deal with the firmware (u-boot). If have have access to the sources you can just re-cycle the slot of an existing board (unfortunately Armbian doesn't offer "spare" or "intentionally left blank" slots). 1 Quote

Jason Rogers Posted July 14, 2017 Posted July 14, 2017 12 hours ago, Igor said: May I ask which board you had in mind? Right now I have two FPGA boards with SOC chips (dual arm cores) I am playing with. But again, this is more an exercise in understanding the build system and if you know it well enough to bring up a completely new board then that makes everything else attainable. (I'm actually mainly targeting the orange pi zero h5 for a project and the armbian support is still pretty fresh there). 0 Quote

I have been using debian stretch for some time. For a while I had to run xenial in an lxc container with several personal patches if I wanted to make an sdcard image. But those issues got resolved months ago and I was suddenly able to successfully build directly from Stretch without containers. Now to do that I have to play games. 0 Quote
Igor Posted September 6, 2017 Author Posted September 6, 2017 8 hours ago, dhlii said: but can we not require things like editing files in /etc to permit someone to do it anyway. It's difficult to support a system that is not used by a core developer team and in most cases, people come forward with vague descriptions like: "Building breaks in Mint 25.2" . Our default answer is: "Ubuntu Xenial is the way to go". I know that those dependencies could be fixed (perhaps they already are and once they might be), but at some major distro upgrade, they might fail. This way we limit down support questions. And we have to do that since the team is small and our primary focus elsewhere. We should perhaps add that if you want to build within anything else, fix dependencies and submit a patch - including override switch. This way it will at least work. If Mint/Stretch/* maintainer/user decides to stick around than it might become officially supported. 0 Quote

Now to do that I have to play games. If you are running a modern Linux distribution I would recommend using Docker for building - currently it's transparently automated. Until we drop all requirements for host toolchains and switch entirely to external Linaro ones we won't relax or remove the host OS check in prepare_host() so you'll have to disable it manually. And to be clear - you were able to build a specific u-boot and kernel sources without issues, it doesn't mean that you would be able to compile any available target without additional patches. 0 Quote

We provide build environment with possibilities to add kernel and u-boot patches. You can change the configuration or post-install 3rd party applications to the image, etc. If all this will be successful is entirely your problem. If you do it right - solve all dependencies it will work otherwise not. Build tools are just a base tool. They save you a lot of time preparing the ground for whatever you plan to do.https://docs.armbian.com/Developer-Guide_Build-Preparation/ 0 Quote
