Modules Compilation error

Hello all,

I am using Ubuntu 16.04 on my PC and Ubuntu 14.04 on my laptop.

I am trying to customize Kernel 4.1 for my VAR-SOM-AM33 device that is based on TI AM335x.

I made all the steps according to TI Wiki page "processors.wiki.ti.com/.../Linux_Kernel_Users_Guide"

I Made the next steps until the error( tried on my PC and on my laptop):

1.Downloading source code

2.Setup Toolchain path (I am in the top-level directory from this step until the error)

3 .Cleaning the Kernel Sources

4. Customizing the Configuration with menuconfig

5.Enable Device Drivers -> SPI support -> <*> User mode SPI device driver support in the config menu

5. Compiling the Kernel with the command : "make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabihf- zImage LOADADDR=0x80200000".

6. Compiling the modules with the command "make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabihf- modules" and get the error:

I cant find any solution for this error, i searched for two days.

Please, if anyone go through this problem and can help me.

Thanks a lot

Kemal,

Thanks a lot for the quick response!

I saw this thread before i posted my question and i am doing exactly(i think so..) what you write there. i am in the top level directory and make the steps:

1.cleaning the kernel sources with the command make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabihf- mrproper or with the command make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabihf- distclean.

2. Customizing the Configuration with menuconfig

3. Enable Device Drivers -> SPI support -> <*> User mode SPI device driver support in the config menu

4.Compiling the Kernel with the command make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabihf- zImage LOADADDR=0x80200000

5.Compile the modules with the command make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabihf- modules and i got the same Error again...

Its didn't solve the problem.

2. Customizing the Configuration with menuconfig

How you custumize the kernel? Could you post the complete command of step 2?

Sure,

Step 2 - Customizing the Configuration with the command make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabihf- menuconfig , then a configuration menu open and i choose SPI as described in step 3.

Does your board have a defconfig file? Have you run a command something like this one below, before running menuconfig?

make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabihf- tisdk_am335x-evm_defconfig

When you write board you mean in the top-level directory?

In this flow of commands i did not run the command you mention cause i know that it is the default configuration and i need to configure the kernel myself and add the SPI module.

the first step is the clean command and right after it i ran make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabihf- menuconfig command.

I Think i understood the question "Does your board have a defconfig file?"
I checked in /boot directory on my board and there is no /config-4.1.x file, so the config file is not there.
I also checked in /usr/src directory and there is no /linux-4.1.x directory.

I Also tried to remove the i40e sources from the compiling process by comments them in the Makefile that located in:
/drivers/net/ethernet/intel/Makefile
after i comment them, i tried to compile the modules again and its pass that error point but the compilation failed on something else....

Thanks,
Oren

If your board doesn't have a specific defconfig file, you can start with the tisdk_am335x-evm_defconfig, which resides in <Processor SDK>/board-support/linux-<version>/arch/arm/configs/ directory
First enter this command
make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabihf- tisdk_am335x-evm_defconfig
then type make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabihf- menuconfig and Enable Device Drivers -> SPI support -> <*> User mode SPI device driver support in the config menu.

Kemal,

You have solved the problem!

Thanks a loot!

I now know the right compilation process and i know what was the problem.

I always configured the Kernel as default or i customized it. i needed to first configure it as default and after it to customized it.

Thanks a lot,

Oren
