U-boot sources from c series find how to cross-compile it?

[Mkò]

/opt/arm_v7_vfp_le/bin/arm_v7_vfp_le-gcc -v
no such files or directory
but the binary is present
i tried the toolchain from samygo svn t-valdeuc and the toolchain from sources ue32c6500 and ue40c8000 always i get the same error.
but in the how to build the instructions are different from these that i've found here in how to build from sams says
* Building kernel:
* Unpack the kernel tarball and cd into it.
* Run "make Image".
Maybe i've to try with VDLinux-armv7a8-toolchain-lite_20100630? but this is for d series am i right?
what is the "VDLinux toolchain for c series"?

no the uboot sources that i've are 4.295.723 and not 4 259 723.

Oops - sorry, a typo. The file I have is 4 295 723 too (MD5: 50299c641170e8844464579d338b38cf). I think we both have the same sources. And they still don't look all that promising . Apparently it's more or less random (?), rather ancient, Samsung-modified uboot variant. I don't see any config/code/definitions for Valencia/Aquila platform in there. Even the code & config for older Chelsea/Leonid (B-series) is missing.

Honestly, I have no idea why were such old uboot sources included in the C630 open source package (and whoever prepared that package for Samsung OSRC apparently did not have any idea either).

have you find the dtv_bml_aquila? have you look at it? maybe you understand more than me...
if they don't release the sources for c series that are some reason...
now if you look at oss site every c series sources was deleted...

the otp lock in sm do nothing i try my tv reboot and that's it nothing new...now i've to understand and research about boot param..."aging" in top debug menu there are 3 options boot param aging, factory reset, and another that i don't remember and i found too the option get/set secure boot authentication but i don't find info about it.
i think that only some config files are missing the set of file maybe are the same.

@ juuso
today i donwload from svn the toolchain copy it to opt/
rename the folder to arm_v7_vfp_le
then i make one folder in opt and call it src
in it i extracted the file linux.tgz form UE40C8000.zip
then i copy from /opt/src/linux/arch/arm/configs/SELP.4.3.x.valencia.def.config file
one to /opt/arm_v7_vfp_le/ and one to /opt/src/linux/
I export the path

Code: Select all

export PATH=$PATH:/opt/arm_v7_vfp_le/bin

i verify that the path is export

Code: Select all

root@sam-virtual-machine:/opt/src/linux# echo $PATH
/usr/lib/lightdm/lightdm:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/games:/opt/arm_v7_vfp_le/bin:/opt/arm_v7_vfp_le/bin

and it seems to see right
then i cd to opt/src/linux/
and do

Code: Select all

make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm_v7_vfp_le- oldconfig

everything seems be ok
then

Code: Select all

make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm_v7_vfp_le- prepare scripts

and i get

Code: Select all

root@sam-virtual-machine:/opt/src/linux# make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm_v7_vfp_le- prepare scripts

I'm on ubuntu 13 root user, i activate the root user and login as root to avoid permissions problems,

As you can see the gcc binary is present in bin directory

so what i'm doing wrong? maybe the config files is wrong?
have you test the toolchain on svn?
how to fix this?
Maybe there are missing dependencies?
is there someone that has recompile the valencia kernel with success?
another questions i read that for uboot is not needed to recompile the kernel is such as a standalone program is this true?

[juusso]

no idea what's wrong. later I try all by self. Yes for uboot you don't need to compile kernel, but you need it to be sure you have fully working toolchain.

[juusso]

I compiled kernel with toolchain from svn and sources from c650 (sorry, dont have ones from c8000). Config i used is:

config_valdeuc.zip

You dont need kernel for u-boot, but you need working toolchain against your kernel sources (or maybe not - but anyway - it is better to have checked toolchain...)
If you fail, then i think it is your problem with environment/permissions and so on...

ok i set up a centos vmvare image to try again
where i have to put this config files?
is good for uc8000 sources too? could you explain where to find this?
is which dir?
tried again but i have the same error...
I think i need gcc is this the problem but on in c8000 source the gcc files are missing and in samsung opensource site too so i don't know what to do.

[juusso]

rename this config to .config and copy it to .config.old on root of your sources. I think it is good for all valencia devices.

try ubuntu vmware image.
