U-boot cannot compile successfully

ROCK Pi Series Using ROCK Pi S
1

I am in accordance with the tutorial in the [https://wiki.radxa.com/RockpiS/dev/Debian].When I run ‘build/mk-uboot.sh rockpis’, the following error occurs:

start=$(aarch64-linux-gnu-nm u-boot | grep __rel_dyn_start | cut -f 1 -d ’ '); end=$(aarch64-linux-gnu-nm u-boot | grep __rel_dyn_end | cut -f 1 -d ’ '); tools/relocate-rela u-boot-nodtb.bin 0x00600000 $start $end
DTC arch/arm/dts/rk3036-sdk.dtb

MAKE UBOOT IMAGE FAILED.
This error occurs even when I compile with the redownloaded source code, but it used to compile normally. I don’t know if it has anything to do with the system setup?
The system is Gentoo Linux.

I tried to modify u-boot/arch/arm/dts/Makefile and swap the positions of rk3308-rock-pi-s.dtb and rk3036-sdk.dtb in dtb-$(CONFIG_ARCH_ROCKCHIP). The compilation result became the following:

start=$(aarch64-linux-gnu-nm u-boot | grep __rel_dyn_start | cut -f 1 -d ’ '); end=$(aarch64-linux-gnu-nm u-boot | grep __rel_dyn_end | cut -f 1 -d ’ '); tools/relocate-rela u-boot-nodtb.bin 0x00600000 $start $end

Do I need to delete the item that caused the error?

Try getting the complete Debian SDK repository and checkout stable-4.4-rockpis branch.

$ cd ~/src
$ git clone --recursive https://github.com/radxa/rockchip-bsp.git
$ cd rockchip-bsp
$ git checkout stable-4.4-rockpis
$ ./build/mk-uboot.sh rockpis

See readme in the repository for required packages.

Builds smoothly for me

You can try my patch here :

It removes all troublesome dts files from the build process, it also fixes dtc lexer build issues.

It is part of the buildroot.rk3308 external tree. Which is another option for building the entire operating system, including uboot, kernel and the rootfs. It will produce an SDcard image for you.

I’m stuck at the DTS issues and the flatmax/buildroot.rk3308 had some other failure.
