Hi Alex, continued my research and found https://github.com/BPI-SINOVOIP/BPI-Mainline-kernel . I did a git clone to get the content in folder BPI-Mainline-kernel. I installed the required packages mentioned in ./linux-4.19/Documentation/ process/changes.rst. However "oprofiled --version" is mentioned to check the version of the packet oprofile, but that did not work. The command should be "opreport --version". After that I ran "./build_kernel_64.sh" in folder BPI-Mainline-kernel, which succeeded. I got a lot of generated files in ./linux-4.19/output/bpi-64/ among other a vmlinux, which seems to be the new kernel. Also a lot of drivers and modules have been generated. I also downloaded the source of kernel 4.19.4 as a tar.xz, unpacked it in folder linux-4.19-4 in BPI-Mainline-kernel and adapted build_kernel_64.sh to enter linux-4.19.4. I also needed to copy a few file from linux-4.19 to linux-4.19.4, build_64.sh and linux-4.19/arch/arm64/bpi_64_defconfig. After that I succeeded in building the kernel 4.19.4. So far what I did. Now the experiment to make the kernel run. If you have any suggestions, please let me know. -- fr.gr. member openSUSE Freek de Kruijf -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] To contact the owner, e-mail: [email protected]
