Cannot build Hikey Fw from source

raghu-ncstate · February 20, 2017, 9:27am

im trying to follow the instructions in the link https://github.com/Linaro/documentation/blob/master/Reference-Platform/RPOfficial/ConsumerEdition/HiKey/BuildSourceBL.md and have not had any success building the firmware.

I’m having two issues. Firstly, since the compiler/toolchain is gcc 5.3 as mentioned in the link shown above, uefi_build.sh failed with error “Warning: [GCC5] not defined” and “No toolchain available for build”. I fixed this for forcing uefi_build.sh to set TOOLCHAIN=GCC49 and got past this issue.
The next issue that im not able to get past is /bin/sh: 1: aarch64-linux-gnu-gcc: not found.

I have checked and rechecked that the tool chain is in my path. Are there any packages that i need or am i missing something else ?

hikeyfw$ echo $PATH

solved 1 problem and got another one. first problem was because /bin/sh was pointing to a different shell(dash) and i was running in a bash shell.
Have a new problem:aarch64-linux-gnu-gcc: error trying to exec ‘cc1’: execvp: No such file or directory

looks like lots of people have had this issue but the solution is not clear.

Thanks for reporting the problem! Can you please try gcc 4.9 for now until we can sort this out?

vchong · February 20, 2017, 9:27am

Or if you insist on using gcc5, then use below temp workaround:


cd ${UEFI_TOOLS_DIR}
git checkout 0ce9cb2a715bebdb6bf5b99ef59df532e655ce88
cd ${EDK2_DIR}
git clean -xfd
${UEFI_TOOLS_DIR}/uefi-build.sh -b RELEASE -a ${ATF_DIR} -s ${OPTEE_DIR} hikey

raghu-ncstate · February 20, 2017, 9:27am

Thanks for the reply vchong. I had no luck with GCC49 either. Had the same issue. Will try you suggestion with GCC5.

raghu-ncstate · February 20, 2017, 9:27am

@vchong, tried you suggestion. Same issue still.

vchong · February 20, 2017, 9:27am

Are you using the latest for all repos, except uefi-tools.git?
Did you make sure to git clean the repo first? I had the same issue too until I did that.
If yes to both, then some logs might help.

raghu-ncstate · February 20, 2017, 9:27am

@vchong, i tried the instructions from https://github.com/Linaro/documentation/blob/master/Reference-Platform/RPOfficial/ConsumerEdition/HiKey/BuildSourceBL.md from scratch and made the change you suggested for uefi-tools. I still see the same issue.
Is that what you mean by latest for all repos ? Im assuming ill get the latest if i clone the repositories as mentioned in the instructions now. note that the link uses the hikey-aosp branch and not master or any other branch.

vchong · February 20, 2017, 9:27am

[Edit] Yes, you will get the latest if you start a clone from scratch now.

I also tested again from scratch using the script below which basically contains instructions copy and pasted from https://github.com/Linaro/documentation/blob/master/Reference-Platform/RPOfficial/ConsumerEdition/HiKey/BuildSourceBL.md, plus the changes suggested for uefi-tools, minus the ‘git clean’ since these are new/clean repos. Note that I also added ‘–depth=1’ to speed up the test. The build is ok. Not sure what the problem is on your end.

Got past the aarch64-linux-gnu-gcc: error trying to exec ‘cc1’: execvp: No such file or directory issue. The problem was with the default bashrc on ubuntu xenial. it skipped the bashrc file entirely if the shell was non interactive and it looks like the build process invokes non interactive shells. All my exports for gcc were at the end of bashrc.
Now im having issues with python crypto and wand.image modules. Hopefully the python issues will be simpler to solve.

raghu-ncstate · February 20, 2017, 9:27am

Build finished successfully after i installed pip, pycrypto and wand.
@vchong, thanks for the help.

vchong · February 20, 2017, 9:27am

Looks like your problem was with the shell all along and I kept trying to solve the ‘gcc5’ issue, so we were both headed in different directions. Sorry about that and glad you got it working.

The build instructions have been updated by the way for the gcc5 issue. For details see https://github.com/Linaro/documentation/pull/7.

raghu-ncstate · February 20, 2017, 9:27am

@vchong, thanks again for all the help!

rakshithpatkar · July 14, 2017, 6:45am

Hi @raghu-ncstate raghu-ncstate, I am new to this and I am getting this error during the build and the build breaks:

{{{
build: : warning: Tool chain [GCC5] is not defined

build.py…
: error 4000: Not available
[GCC5] not defined. No toolchain available for build!
}}}

Can you tell me how to get past this issue? or any background will help.
I know this topic was discussed long back. Sorry and thanks in advance.

Best,
Rakshith Patkar

vchong · July 16, 2017, 2:31pm

@rakshithpatkar Which url/instructions are you following? Try setting below and rebuild again.

export AARCH64_TOOLCHAIN=GCC5

vchong · July 16, 2017, 3:10pm

Sorry. I mean try setting it to GCC49.

rakshithpatkar · July 17, 2017, 10:01am

@vchong, I am following the instructions in:

github.com

96boards-hikey/tools-images-hikey960/blob/master/build-from-source/README-ATF-UEFI-build-from-source.md

This document describes how to build ATF, UEFI for HiKey960 from source.

Note: at the time of this writing, ATF and UEFI for HiKey960 are not officially released yet. Please use with caution.

Even after setting export AARCH64_TOOLCHAIN=GCC49, I am getting the same error.

Attaching the script i am using:

@rakshithpatkar Do you have a gcc5 toolchain downloaded, installed and added to the PATH variable, before running the commands? E.g.

wget http://releases.linaro.org/components/toolchain/binaries/5.3-2016.02/aarch64-linux-gnu/gcc-linaro-5.3-2016.02-x86_64_aarch64-linux-gnu.tar.xz

rakshithpatkar · July 19, 2017, 5:46am

@vchong, thanks for the reply.

I already have the arm64 toolchain installed and put it in .bashrc file.

$ vim ~/.bashrc

{{{
//snip
export PATH=/home/rakshith/arm64-tc/bin:$PATH
export PATH=/home/rakshith/arm-tc/bin:$PATH

Verifying the above:

How are you cloning the repos? Looks like you might not be on right branches.
