hi lane
<lanefu>
hows your kernel build going
<archetech>
quit for while
<archetech>
till someone with a 3328 shows up
<lanefu>
bummer..
<archetech>
par for the course when trying latest stuff
<lanefu>
true. so if i recall you werent even getting output from uboot
xecutertool has joined #armbian
<lanefu>
i wonder if skipping the u-boot deb package when youre installing the kernel would help
xec has quit [Ping timeout: 265 seconds]
<archetech>
ill get it go tomorrow
<archetech>
easy way is wait for somebody w/ the board to fig it out :)
<archetech>
via forum post or in here
<archetech>
mean the rc image not just the kernel

hi there
<Werner__>
Hi
<johnwho>
i am trying to compile armbian with CREATE_PATCHES="yes" unfortunately, all of my changes i made to a file inside of cache/ are overwritten
<johnwho>
also KERNEL_CONFIGURE="yes" doesnt show me a kernel config dialog.... altough SOURCE_COMPILE="yes" is set
<johnwho>
do you have any ideas?
<Werner__>
Not really...
<johnwho>
ok so basically these compiler flags should still work?
<Werner__>
I guess so. Maybe IgorPec has an idea
<johnwho>
thank you for your proposal. I have contacted him directly
<johnwho>
how can one rebuild the devicetree for linux within the armbian build framework?
<Werner__>
Not sure if this is what you are looking for but a dtb .deb for the specific board/family will be create as well when you do KERNEL_ONLY compile.

<IgorPec>
johnwho: you solved?
<johnwho>
no
<IgorPec>
build system always starts with a clean gut
<IgorPec>
git
<IgorPec>
when you use CREATE_PATCHES ... you have to
<IgorPec>
make changes when you are asked, then a patch from changes is created aftwerward
<johnwho>
i never get asked to change anything
<johnwho>
that is the problem actually
<johnwho>
the build process just runs through....
<IgorPec>
aha ...
<IgorPec>
let me check. do you use master branch?
<johnwho>
let me check which branch i am using
<IgorPec>
and I assume official build script, not some 3rd party fork
<johnwho>
revision 1f95a00
<johnwho>
yes, in fact i have followed this tutorial:
<johnwho>
i saw, that there are already patch files under patches/ for my particular device tree file (rk3288-miniarm.dts) therefore i would like to just change this patch.
<johnwho>
in fact i only want to change the DSI HW to interface with an other Display
<IgorPec>
you don't touch anythinb but userpatches
<johnwho>
will the patches under patch/kernel/... applied, before i am asked to change files?
<johnwho>
nice, would be great if i would be prompted this message ^^
<IgorPec>
this is how ./compile.sh CREATE_PATCHES="yes" should look like after you select which board and kernel version
<johnwho>
strange... i did only changed config-default.conf
<johnwho>
nothing else
<IgorPec>
you compile under docker or something else?
<johnwho>
but if i would prompted to change files, are the patches from patch/kernel... already applied?
<IgorPec>
yes, that's correct.
<johnwho>
i compile under Ubuntu 18.04 LTS x64
<johnwho>
ok good that they are applied already. otherwise it would not make sense...
<IgorPec>
that's a desired way. default patches might be mandatory, some are
<johnwho>
and will the buildprocess also check if some patches has changed in userpatches and if so, recompile uboot for example or also just recompile the devicetree?
<IgorPec>
userpatches are added in this process and a patch you are working on
<johnwho>
ok but what happens if i have already compiled an image successfull, now i change some parts of a userpatch and restart ./compile.sh
<johnwho>
will it recompile an devicetree which will be affected by a change in a userpatch?
<IgorPec>
changes will be applied of course
<johnwho>
ok good
<johnwho>
what would you do to enable CREATE_PATCHES?
<IgorPec>
only exception is a patch that is in creation mode
<johnwho>
how does such one look?
<johnwho>
when is a patch in creation mode?
<IgorPec>
that is applied only in creation mode and its placed in output/patches ..
<johnwho>
oh ok
Redferne has quit [Ping timeout: 240 seconds]
<IgorPec>
in creation mode is when a switch PATCHES_CREATE="yes"
<IgorPec>
sorry, CREATE_PATCHES :)
<johnwho>
and then i have to move the patch from output/patches to userpatches/ ?
<IgorPec>
when you are done modifiny it, exactly
<johnwho>
ok good
Redferne has joined #armbian
<johnwho>
but for that i must be prompted to make file changes first ^^
<IgorPec>
yes, try to start with a clean build ... give me few minutes to check here. currently i have no idea why you don0t get the prompt
<IgorPec>
perhaps permission issues, check logs if there is anything strange
<johnwho>
ok. i will remove my current armbian directory and checkout the latest one from git
<johnwho>
modify my configdefault to include CREATE_PATCHES="yes"
<johnwho>
and try it again
<IgorPec>
try also to run ./compile CREATE_PATCHES="yes" I usually use it this way, not encodint it to the config.
<johnwho>
ok good idea
<johnwho>
maybe this could be the difference
<johnwho>
i have now cloned armbian again and now running the first ./compile.sh
<IgorPec>
i know for one case that it makes a difference but its a service switch
<johnwho>
why is USEALLCORES not documented?
<IgorPec>
its probably not implemented as a switch
<IgorPec>
we always compile with full force :)
<IgorPec>
and even that is not good enough
<johnwho>
oh good :)
<johnwho>
cause here were some switches mentioned which i have not found in the docs
<IgorPec>
yes, documentation is always behind, never complete. Its a common work - if you care, send an update
<johnwho>
yes, i care and i will take a look whether i can send an update :)
<johnwho>
but thank you anyway for your work! Its a great project
<IgorPec>
tnx
<IgorPec>
ok, be back in 1h
<johnwho>
good, me too

dddddd has joined #armbian
<johnwho>
ok now i did a ./compile CREATE_PATCHES="yes" and it asked me for changes to u-boot... now i hope it will also ask me for changes to the kernel sources
<IgorPec>
yes, it will
<johnwho>
yes it asked me :) and created a patch accordingly
<johnwho>
if i now change something to the devicetree of my board (tinkerboard) i can change the content of my new created patch file
<johnwho>
but do i have to compile the whole kernel everytime i change just the device-tree? or is there an other option wihin buildroot?
<johnwho>
sorry i mean within armbian build system ^^
<johnwho>
and... now i have got an error (due to the fact that i have made a mistake in my device-tree dts file)
<johnwho>
[ error ] ERROR in function compile_kernel [ compilation.sh:378 ][ error ] Kernel was not built [ @host ]
<johnwho>
is there a possibility to get more error informations?
<Werner__>
Yes. Check the output/debug folder
<IgorPec>
second compile is much fastger since it ueses ccache
<IgorPec>
so we didn't add dtb compile as a separate option but it could be added once, its useful
<IgorPec>
output/debug/compilation.log
<johnwho>
perfect. thank you
<johnwho>
pathing with the previously created patch has failes
<johnwho>
should i name my own patch something like zzz-mypatch that it will get applied after all others?
<IgorPec>
see output/debug/patching.log
<IgorPec>
yes, naming maters
<johnwho>
i thought the system would frist apply all integrated patches from patch/... and then start applying patches from userpatches/....
<IgorPec>
no, it combine them order by name
<johnwho>
oh ok...
<johnwho>
is there a special reason to not do it in the order of first applying patch/... and then userpatches/... ?
<johnwho>
casue when im using CREATE_PATCHES then i will also apply changes to the files after all patch/... patches has got applied
<IgorPec>
i think this is more appropriate for development. for patch engine, location is irrelevant
<johnwho>
sure, the location doenst matter, but the order in which the patches will get applied
<IgorPec>
this is the way we designed this, so i don't know if this have an easy modus change
<johnwho>
ok no problem. as long as i know it i can avoid trouble by naming ma patch with z-some name
<johnwho>
that it will be the last who is applied
<IgorPec>
the logic behind is that one has to prepare patches and align order but not touch stock patches and when things are done, those patches can be moved to the base and send upstream as MR
<johnwho>
ok i see.
<IgorPec>
for our purpose, this is better suited. for end user - he is usually fine with one patch
<johnwho>
yes i see the logic behind. But how would you handle the following scenario:
<johnwho>
i am using a tinkerboard and i want to modify the device tree in such a way that it supports an other display by DSI
<johnwho>
if i make a patch then this patch will only be usefull for my self
<johnwho>
so should i only store this patch in userpatches forever?
<IgorPec>
you send it upstream with .disabled
<johnwho>
oh nice! good idea
<IgorPec>
and its nice to sign a patch with a short comment
<johnwho>
what would be the fastest way to just check if the device-tree has some oerrors? Only building kernel and uboot instead of full OS for SD-Card?
<johnwho>
cause armbian is complining and installing the kernel now since around 10 minutes
<johnwho>
just due to a small change in the patch which affects only the device-tree
<IgorPec>
hmm
<IgorPec>
ccache should take care of some speedup
<IgorPec>
i have less then 1m
<IgorPec>
for DT recimpile only some refacturing should be done
<c0rnelius_>
why you on 5.5? pretty unstable and it's an RC.
<ashthespy>
c0rnelius rk3308 support landed quite recently, so picked that.. Else BSP is on 4.4.y
<ashthespy>
It is meant to be a learning experience for me as well :-D
<c0rnelius_>
i saw that when viewing the diff. not sure about the armbian builds, but in my experience running make scripts in the headers throws errors and fails.
<c0rnelius_>
which usually isn't a good sign.
<ashthespy>
c0rnelius Not sure I follow -
<ashthespy>
I patched in support for the wifi chip using the other examples over at `compilation-prepare.sh`
<c0rnelius_>
it means when trying to compile against the headers you'll fail. such as a wifi module or what have you. of course i haven't tried the armbian build of it, so i can't speak to that.
<c0rnelius_>
thats just my own messing about.
<ashthespy>
Ah, okay!
<ashthespy>
will scrutinise the build log for some light now ;-)

I set up our own server at home on a Cubietruck, for 3 years it has been running flawless
<TRS-80>
several family using it now
<c0rnelius_>
thats kool.
<TRS-80>
private, self-hosted IM is very nice :)
<c0rnelius_>
i see a lot of peps using weechat these days. been on hexchat myself.
<ashthespy>
TRS-80 No net outages in 3 years? Nice!
<TRS-80>
it wasn't hard to set up, actually... If you are interested look into prosody; Also, Docs are great and they are very helpful in their support channel
<c0rnelius_>
i don't talk to my family enough for all that :)
<TRS-80>
ashthespy: Oh we have had some outages. We do belong to some outside servers also, "just in case." But outages always were from forgetting to pay our internet bill, power going out, etc... never prosody! :)
<TRS-80>
Next maybe MQTT plug in for weechat, then I can get notifications from everything like the HA controller, etc...

i was just looking and apparently freebsd doesn't feel like offering those. poor fbsd and its ways.
<TRS-80>
Yeah I suppose most IRC programs probably do. I haven't tried a lot of different ones. Like you at some point I "heard about weechat" checked into it, started using it and in my case never looked back.
<c0rnelius_>
i'll have to check out weechat and see what i thinks

i always just used irssi up until a few months ago

<emOne>
is there a way to know if armbian has the module for wlan_mt76x8_sdio ?
<Werner__>
Depends on your board. Check the matching kernel config
<emOne>
Werner__: i think it is an mt7668 wifi driver
<emOne>
wifi chipset*
<Werner__>
Still depends on the board you are using Armbian on since Armbian supports many different boards with different kernel configuration files. Some may contain this specific driver, other may not.
<emOne>
Werner__: how would you check the matching kernel config?
<emOne>
It's a chinese android tv box with a s905x3 cpu
<Werner__>
From a quick research I just did CONFIG_MT7603E may cover this particular wifi chip
<Werner__>
Not included in Armbian or at least in this board family though. You can build your own Armbian image using the built script and enable this module for you.
<emOne>
Werner__: can I cross compile?
<emOne>
with the built script that is
Toast has joined #armbian
<Werner__>
The script is meant to be run in an Ubuntu 18.04 amd64 environment. So it will do the cross compiling for you
<emOne>
that is very cool! Thank you Werner__
