Hey Benny!
MK>> What secret? I thought we were talking about android.
BP> show me the android sources ?
According to
https://source.android.com/setup/build/building-kernels;
mkdir android-kernel && cd android-kernel
repo init -u
https://android.googlesource.com/kernel/manifest -b BRANCH
repo sync
Also of note is the list of devices and their respective branches. The only 5.x kernel they show is android-gs-raviole-5.10-android12-qpr1-d for the "Pixel 6 (oriole)".
MK>> I never went that far with it.
BP> so atleast you tryed :=)
Always. I may pick it up again in the future but I am not holding my breath waiting for that to happen. Maybe just a qemu based one. Who knows?
MK>> I briefly had a qemu setup for aarch64
BP> that could be used for cross compile ?
Yes except in that case it isn't really a cross compile. I did build a couple aarch64 kernels on a x86_64 using a custom built cross compiler (gcc/g++ of course) but the rest was done natively on the raspi3b after that, inculding the final boot kernel.
BP> i think it would make sense to cross compile on faster hardware
BP> while running irc on commodore 64 :)
You would. No commodore here so you'd have to settle with cross compile on faster hardware, x86_64 in this neck of the woods, and the hell with the irc chat.
MK>> I thought the real raspi was better
BP> if you prefer slow ? :=)
No but I do prefer an actual working system at the end of it all as well as the fact that I never use anything that cannot take care of itself, especially if the manufacturer is going to short change me on external antenna connectors. In the case of the raspi3b I have here, I went through the entire process of building a capable aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu despite the antenna situation seeing I already had made the investment. Now I know for sure why it is abandonware or at least until a suitable replacement identifies itself.
BP> microsoft have imho no succes with arm yet, but the hardware is
BP> good, feels like owning a farari and wait for the motor engine
More like a Yugo methinks. Do they still make those?
MK> They had their chance and blew it. Depends doesn't cut it.
BP> shit happens
Yes but in this case they are to blame for the shit happening.
BP> old 5.15.16 kernel was on january 21, 17 is today :=)
cat /proc/version
Linux version 5.15.17 (root@bitskii) (gcc (GCC) 11.2.0, GNU ld (GNU Binutils) 2.37) #1 SMP Thu Jan 27 22:12:02 UTC 2022
Looks good from this angle.
Life is good,
Maurice
