on the images Debian isnt possible to build drivers for wifi. There are misssing some kernel packages. Is it possible to publish it and we can install it via apt ? So we can nothing do on the system
Everthing what i will it isnt possible. It makes me angry.
make ARCH=riscv CROSS_COMPILE= -C /lib/modules/5.15.0-starfive/build M=/root/rtl8188eu modules
make[1]: Entering directory ‘/usr/src/linux-headers-5.15.0-starfive’
Makefile:699: arch/riscv64/Makefile: No such file or directory
make[1]: *** No rule to make target ‘arch/riscv64/Makefile’. Stop.
make[1]: Leaving directory ‘/usr/src/linux-headers-5.15.0-starfive’
make: *** [Makefile:155: modules] Error 2
Then i tried the second way. Built the driver with the sdk. That was successfully. Next upload ko and firmware to the image.
Then i got the error with modprobe and insmod
3049.627950] 8188eu: Unknown symbol iwe_stream_add_event (err -2)
[ 3049.634466] 8188eu: Unknown symbol wireless_send_event (err -2)
[ 3049.640575] 8188eu: Unknown symbol iwe_stream_add_point (err -2)
When there is an other way then please explain the procedure ?
I did same kind of setup.
Used linux-menuconfig to enable the dedicated module of my wifi dongle (rtl8192cu in my case) then rebuild sdk.
Compilation ok, modules and stuff generated in 5.15.0-dirty then flash image to sdcard and so on.
When logged through uart, i can see that folder 5.15.0-dirty is not there but 5.15.0 is there instead.
2 questions:
how to avoid the dirty even if i commited the changes due to kernel config update
or how to flash the correct module 5.15.0-dirty instead of the original 5.15.0 ?
I’m wondering if in your case you are missing to upload some dependencies
for the first point of your question:
You run ./build.sh and genimage.sh in the SDK root ?
touch .scmversion in the Kernel source VisionFive2/linux and in your SDK root do:
make linux-menuconfig and disable CONFIG_LOCALVERSION_AUTO.
And it works without dirty and the + sign.
And then in VisionFive2/linux/Makefile change Line 5 EXTRAVERSION = -starfive when you use the starfive Debian image. When you use the SDK image then leave it empty.
For all the devices the linux-firmware is missing too.
Please note that there are many other things missing where I keep coming across errors.
touch .scmversion in the Kernel source VisionFive2/linux and in your SDK root do:
make linux-menuconfig and disable CONFIG_LOCALVERSION_AUTO.
that made the job ! then right now 5.15.0-dirty is no more referenced and my driver is built in the right folder VisionFive2/work/module_install_path/lib/modules/5.15.0/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/realtek/rtlwifi/rtl8192cu/rtl8192cu.ko
But is still not included in the final img
Then, following your post, I decided to use build.sh and genimage.sh (previously I was using make && make buildroot_rootfs && make img)
→ That’s worse with build & genimage : I can’t even boot
