Build error when I make ramdisk.img

Products Support HiKey970
#1

Hi Supporters,

I’m trying to build kernel using the page Build & Update Linux kernel on HiKey970 - 96Boards

But if I build ramdisk.img, I get error like cannot assign to readonly variable
Could you let me know how I can resolve this problem?

Here is the log :

What toolchain are you using to compile the kernel.
It looks like maybe your using the wrong tool chain.

Everything should be building for 64 bit not 32 bit.
Just a quick guess on my part but i would check it.

#3

Thanks for the response. :slight_smile:

Could you let me know which tool chain I have to use and how to check it?

Thanks.

#4

You are building the kernel for Android right?
I can’t remember if you need to build android first or not.
Are you using the AOSP Source or downloading the kernel tree?

You can check the tool-chain during this process.

Run build_kernel.sh

$ export ARCH=arm64
$ export CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-linux-android-
$ ./build_kernel.sh

After you export CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-linux-android- run this command.

[CODE]aarch64-linux-android- --version[/CODE]

I think part of the problem is that you have to build AOSP first.
Then 
[CODE]make -j$(nproc) ramdisk[/CODE]

Hi BigCountry907,

Yes, I’m building the kernel for Android and using AOSP source.
Here is what I did to build kernel. I just followed a guidance of your website and this error happens when I build ramdisk image. It means that I didn’t run build_kernel.sh yet.

$ mkdir <ANDROID_TOP>
$ cd <ANDROID_TOP>
$ repo init -u https://android.googlesource.com/platform/manifest -b master
$ git clone https://github.com/96boards-hikey/android-manifest.git -b hikey970_v1.0 .repo/local_manifests
$ repo sync -j$(nproc) -c
$ source build/envsetup.sh
$ lunch hikey970-userdebug
$ make -j$(nproc) ramdisk

Thanks.

Hi Manhea,

were you able to fix this issue?
I am facing a similar issue, it would be really kind of you if you can help.

Thank you,
Amal
