This are my system information from uname -a:
Linux radxa-zero 5.10.69-12-amlogic-g98700611d064 #amlogic SMP PREEMPT Tue Jun 14 12:47:53 UTC 2022 aarch64 GNU/Linux
TL DR: Scroll down to This is the result for the error message.
I want to create an AP on the Zero. For this i’m following this tutorial:
https://wiki.radxa.com/Rock/Wireless/AP_mode_manually
I really need your help. I’ve been trying way too long.
Unfortunately i have a few problems:
Even though i appended this in /root/.bashrc:
export ARCH=arm export CROSS_COMPILE=/home/rock/Downloads/32_sys_arm/arm-eabi-4.6/bin/arm-eabi-
and tested it after a reboot:
root@radxa-zero:~# /home/rock/Downloads/32_sys_arm/arm-eabi-4.6/bin/arm-eabi-gcc Box86 with Dynarec v0.3.1 13bbf105 built on Mar 27 2023 09:25:26 arm-eabi-gcc: fatal error: no input files compilation terminated.
So i think the root user should be able to use it as a command, but executing arm-eabi-gcc gives me a command not found.
Notice that i’m using the 32 version of arm-eabi because the 64 version doesn’t even work when i call it
root@radxa-zero:~# /home/rock/Downloads/arm-eabi-4.6/bin/arm-eabi-gcc -bash: /home/rock/Downloads/arm-eabi-4.6/bin/arm-eabi-gcc: cannot execute binary file: Exec format error
Also since the tutorial moves files inbetween steps, without mentioning it, i’ve decided that
- the
RTL8723A_WiFi_linux_v4.1.7_8023_BTCOEX20130528_ver3.3_betagoes into the Downloads folder. - The Makefile file line 605 looks like this:
KSRC := /media/radxa_rock_linux/linux-rockchipbecause i put the - linux rockchip kernel into the
/media/radxa_rock_linuxfolder instead of the tmp folder like the tutorial does -
arm-eabi-4.6goes into the/home/rock/Downloads/32_sys_armfolder
The tutorial says:
Build wifi driver
root@radxa:/tmp/driver/rtl8723A_Wi…3.3_beta# make
but after the reboot required to make changes in .bashrc take effect the tmp folder would be empty again.
So i executed make in the /home/rock/Downloads/RTL8723A_WiFi_linux_v4.1.7_8023_BTCOEX20130528_ver3.3_beta/driver/rtl8723A_WiFi_linux_v4.1.7_8023.20130628_BTCOEX20130528_ver3.3_beta/ folder.
This is the result:

Feel free to give me step by step instructions, because i’m not educated enough to understand kernel development.
EDIT:
After doing the make oldconfig && make prepare that the error message suggested, i get a new error after running make:
