#2

which tool did you use to compile?

#3

I just follow https://wiki.radxa.com/RockpiS/dev/Debian, step by step

#4

You can use our new bsp tool to build the kernel.

#5

and for the usage, please refer to bsp docs.

#6

Hi, I am following the steps in the bsp docs. I found slightly different ones here:
https://docs.radxa.com/en/rockpi/rockpis/low-level-dev/kernel

In my case, I issue the command for rock-pi-s:
./bsp linux stable rock-pi-s --no-config -r 99

I see no errors. Everything seems to complete as expect and I see many deb files. As per the instructions, I then install just:
sudo dpkg -i linux-headers-6.1.68-99-stable_6.1.68-99_arm64.deb
sudo dpkg -i linux-image-6.1.68-99-stable_6.1.68-99_arm64.deb

This seems to complete as expected, but then I reboot and I get nothing at all. No bootup and no flashing blue LED.

Any idea what am I doing wrong? I need to make a custom kernel to include HIDRAW module.

#7

Any logs outputed from the serial port? Please send here so that I can analyze.

#8

Thank you for your reply. I’ll check the serial console and advise the output. Cheers,

#9

Please see the serial console output. It seems to just freeze at “Starting kernel …”
console_log.zip (2.1 KB)

#10

Hi, do you have any feedback on this? I’m in the same situation again now. I’ve updated bsp and still have the same issue.

#11

  1. What’s the behavior of ROCK PI S’ user led ? ROCK PI S uses the mainline kernel, and the kernel serial port output is not enabled by default.

  2. For HIDRAW module, you need add it to stable/kconfig.conf.

#12

The LED stays solid, not flashing like when it normally boots.

Can you clarify the location of kconfig.conf? Is this preferred over “make menuconfig” in linux source?

#13

if you use “make menuconfig” to generate the .config, you need use the flag “–no-prepare-source” or “–dirty”, otherwise the bsp will over write the .config, for detailed parameter information, you can run . /bsp to get.

#14

And you can also add it to bsp/stable/kconfig.conf, then run the cmd “./bsp linux stable rock-pi-s -r 99”, then check the .src/linux/.config, you can find the CONFIG_HIDRAW driver is enabled.

#15

Ok, so the bsp/stable/kconfig.conf file doesn’t exist yet. So it needs to be created?

#16

I will answer my own question. Yes, I created this and it merged into .config.

#17

Hi @Nasca, I was able to build a valid .deb header and image using the kconfig.conf method, so all good there.

One thing though, the image deb took a painful amount of time to install as it got stuck on “Updating overlays…” for hours. It only worked after I created a very large temporary swap space. Is there a way to streamline this?

#18

Some packages are in the form of dkms, which are compiled during installation.
