Build for RockPro64 works for BRANCH "dev", but fails for "default"

Noob here, please excuse if I ask something obvious and feel free to just point me into the right direction.

 

About a week ago, I was able to successfully build Armbian for RockPro64 in the standard Vagrant build environment, creating a bootable image using the compilation GUI without any special kernel configuration.

 

I tried again yesterday, both with the GUI and the CLI command below, but the build process always fails: 

$ sudo ./compile.sh BOARD=rockpro64 PROGRESS_LOG_TO_FILE=yes KERNEL_ONLY=no KERNEL_CONFIGURE=no RELEASE=stretch BUILD_DESKTOP=no BRANCH=default
...
CC [M]  drivers/net/wireless/rockchip_wlan/rtl8723bu/core/rtw_mp_ioctl.o

LD [M]  drivers/net/wireless/rockchip_wlan/rtl8723bu/8723bu.o
LD      drivers/net/wireless/built-in.o

LD      drivers/built-in.o
[ error ] ERROR in function compile_kernel [ compilation.sh:389 ]
[ error ] Kernel was not built [ @host ]
[ o.k. ] Process terminated

 

In the `compilation.log` there are two main errors. First example (occurs maybe 10+ times): 

In file included from drivers/net/wireless/rockchip_wlan/mvl88w8977/mlan/mlan.h:32:0,
                 from drivers/net/wireless/rockchip_wlan/mvl88w8977/mlan/mlan_shim.c:26:

 } MLAN_PACK_END ExtCap_t, *pExtCap_t;
 ^

Second example (occurs 50+ times): 

In file included from ./arch/arm64/include/asm/compat.h:25:0,
                 from ./arch/arm64/include/asm/stat.h:23,

                 from drivers/net/wireless/rtl8812au/include/drv_types.h:26,
                 from drivers/net/wireless/rtl8812au/core/rtw_cmd.c:17:

 const struct sched_group_energy * const(*sched_domain_energy_f)(int cpu);
 ^~~~~
cc1: warning: unrecognized command line option ‘-Wno-cast-function-type’

 

Initially I was suspecting the virtualbox image, going back to the exact release I've been using last week (two updates from Vagrant since), but to no avail. After looking at Github issues, reading posts and sifting through the scripts, I got the build process working by explicitly using BRANCH="dev".

 

I am especially wondering why it worked wihtout issues a week ago, but not anymore. Any recent changes? Might this have something to do with these ongoing changes? In that regard, I'd rather expect the "dev" branch to fail than the default one.

 

Please find attached the various compilation.log files:

 

I'm thankful for any insights or pointers to getting a stable RockPro64 image, as I'd like to later customize it with additional software (definitely not there yet).

compilation fails with error shown at the beginning

The error is rather this one : 

net/wireguard/ratelimiter.c:60:2: error: implicit declaration of function ‘call_rcu’; did you mean ‘call_srcu’? [-Werror=implicit-function-declaration]
  call_rcu(&entry->rcu, entry_free);
  ^~~~~~~~
  call_srcu
cc1: some warnings being treated as errors

You can try to add at command line "WIREGUARD=no" , it will skip this part of the build ...

Thanks for the quick reply! I just ran the command with additional WIREGUARD=no for BRANCH=default, unfortunately it did not even start to work. The "board selection" pops up, and then the script exits:

  

sudo ./compile.sh BOARD=rockpro64 PROGRESS_LOG_TO_FILE=yes KERNEL_ONLY=no KERNEL_CONFIGURE=no RELEASE=stretch BUILD_DESKTOP=no BRANCH=default WIREGUARD=no
[ o.k. ] Using config file [ config-default.conf ]

>> select "rockpro64", <OK>

[ error ] ERROR in function source [ main.sh:198 ]
[ error ] Kernel branch not defined for this board [ default ]
[ o.k. ] Process terminated

note: line 57 in compile.sh is: `eval $parameter=\"$value\"`

 

When running `sudo ./compile.sh BOARD=rockpro64 PROGRESS_LOG_TO_FILE=yes KERNEL_ONLY=no KERNEL_CONFIGURE=no RELEASE=stretch BUILD_DESKTOP=no WIREGUARD=no` without specifying the branch, the compilation is successful. What branch is used in this case?

 

Although successful, there are still a lot of warnings in the `compilation.log`, mostly

  • `warning: type qualifiers ignored on function return type [-Wignored-qualifiers]` and
  • `note: offset of packed bit-field ‘MaxAMSDU’ has changed in GCC 4.4`

At least for the latter, I guess according to the GCC release notes that is safe to ignore? See full compilation log here:  compilation_WIREGUARD-no.log

 

 

One additional question, if I may? When tinkering with the User provided image configuration script, is there a way to skip recompiling the kernel every time?
