Hello Guys,
Just an update from me, on the subject of kernel 4.0.4 and BPiR1 . The
kernels have come and gone , and while waiting for 4.1 to come out I had
a bit of a play to see if my original patch set would work on a series 4
kernel . And to cut a long story short it will not . So out came the
spare board , and after a few hours of chasing new source for the switch
we have a new patch . Hopefully there will not be a huge jump from 4.0.4
to 4.1 as far as the switch is concerned , but anyway the new patch is a
better starting place compared with the old one . If any of you guys
wants to have a shot at it here is my compiling procedure and gzipped
patch attached .
Compiling method :
Delete old files:
rm -rf BUILD/*
rm -rf BUILDROOT/*
rm -rf SOURCES/*
rm -rf SPECS/*
Install KERNEL source:
rpm -ivh ../Downloads/ARM/SRPMS/kernel-4.0.4-202.fc21.src.rpm
Copy b53 driver patch to SOURCES:
cd SOURCES/
cp ../../Downloads/ARM/SOURCES/linux-4.0.4-202.fc21.BPi-R1.patch .
Edit KERNEL config-generic to enable b53 drivers and f2fs:
vi config-generic
add following:
CONFIG_B53=y
CONFIG_B53_SPI_DRIVER=y
CONFIG_B53_PHY_DRIVER=y
CONFIG_B53_SRAB_DRIVER=y
CONFIG_B53_PHY_FIXUP=y
CONFIG_SWCONFIG=y
CONFIG_SWCONFIG_LEDS=y
CONFIG_F2FS_FS=y
CONFIG_F2FS_STAT_FS=y
CONFIG_F2FS_FS_XATTR=y
CONFIG_F2FS_FS_POSIX_ACL=y
CONFIG_F2FS_FS_SECURITY=y
CONFIG_F2FS_CHECK_FS=y
Patch KERNEL spec file :
cd ../SPECS/
patch < /home/msou/Downloads/ARM/SOURCES/kspec_4.0.4.patch
Execute KERNEL Compiling command from SPECS dir:
rpmbuild -ba --target armv7hl --without=perf --without=debuginfo
--without=pae --define="_arch arm" --define="_build_arch arm"
kernel.spec
You notice that I am enabling f2fs , I am using that file system on my
production server . These days you probably do not need to do it as
upstream is already doing it . It is just a carryover from my old script .
The kernel spec patch looks like this :
--- kernel.spec 2015-05-28 06:50:08.000000000 +1000
+++ kernel.spec.new 2015-06-06 20:48:20.759296131 +1000
