Hi,
I am trying to build the kernel prebuilts using the link:

 

Build & Update Linux kernel on HiKey970

Build & Update Linux kernel on HiKey970

 

I am getting this error:
drivers/gpu/arm/bifrost-hikey960/Kconfig:147:warning: choice value used outside its choice group
drivers/gpu/arm/bifrost-hikey960/Kconfig:150:warning: choice value used outside its choice group

Makefile:1087: recipe for target ‘prepare-compiler-check’ failed
make: *** [prepare-compiler-check] Error 1
make: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs…
make: *** wait: No child processes. Stop.
My questions are :

1. i am trying to build for hikey970, then why do i see the warning related to 960 as given below : drivers/gpu/arm/bifrost-hikey960/Kconfig:147:warning: choice value used outside its choice group
2. Since GCC is deprecated, how kernel images should be built using clang?
3. why this error:
   Cannot use CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR_STRONG: -fstack-protector-strong not supported by compiler
   I was able to build the aosp on hikey 970 successfully in the month of November-2019, without any of these errors. I believe these problems arise only after GCC got deprecated in this month.
   Any inputs in this regard will be very helpful.
   Thanks

GCC is not deprecated.
Google just doesn’t use it any more. That’s all.

Try this;
https://releases.linaro.org/components/toolchain/binaries/latest-7/aarch64-linux-gnu/ 9

Hi,
I tried with this: https://releases.linaro.org/components/toolchain/binaries/latest-7/aarch64-linux-gnu/gcc-linaro-7.5.0-2019.12-x86_64_aarch64-linux-gnu.tar.xz

But getting the following error:

Can you please help me…

You’re going to have to provide more details.

Precise commands you used for setting up the environment and compiling.

Hi,
These are the commands i am using …
source build/envsetup.sh
lunch hikey970-userdebug
export PATH=~/aosp/gcc-linaro-7.5.0-2019.12-x86_64_aarch64-linux-gnu/bin/:$PATH export ARCH=arm64 export CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-linux-gnu- ~/aosp/kernel$ ./build_kernel.sh
build_kernel_sh is taken from this link https://www.96boards.org/documentation/consumer/hikey/hikey970/build/linux-kernel.md.html 3

A bunch of that stuff you don’t need for building the kernel. envsetup.sh and lunch, for instance, are for building ANDROID, not kernel.

Try this;
Don’t set the PATH. Set ARCH and CROSS_COMPILE as follows (edit the {toolchain} patch to match your path).

export ARCH=arm64
export CROSS_COMPILE={toolchain}/gcc-linaro-7.5.0-2019.12-x86_64_aarch64-linux-gnu/bin/aarch64-linux-gnu-
make hikey970_defconfig
make -j24

Note that that script does a lot more than just build the kernel, so you should probably break it down until you understand it.

Hi,
I am actually building for Android, reffering to this link: 96boards/documentation/consumer/hikey/hikey970/build/aosp.md.html (unable to post the complete link)

To successfully compile android i need these two binaries : Image.gz-hikey970-4.9 and kirin970-hikey970.dtb-4.9

I gave the path to toolchain in CROSS_COMPILE as you suggested.

I tried giving the individual make commands mentioned in the script.

make hikey970_defconfig--- goes through successfully.

make hisilicon/kirin970-hikey970.dtb---goes through successfully.

make -j$[NCPU*2] Image.gz modules----- command throws the error.
drivers/firmware/efi/libstub/arm-stub.stub.o: absolute symbol references not allowed in the EFI stub
drivers/firmware/efi/libstub/Makefile:69: recipe for target 'drivers/firmware/efi/libstub/arm-stub.stub.o' failed
make[4]: *** [drivers/firmware/efi/libstub/arm-stub.stub.o] Error 1
scripts/Makefile.build:552: recipe for target 'drivers/firmware/efi/libstub' failed

make[2]: *** [drivers/firmware/efi] Error 2
scripts/Makefile.build:552: recipe for target 'drivers/firmware' failed
make[1]: *** [drivers/firmware] Error 2
make[1]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....

without Image.gz binary i will not be able to compile AOSP successfully…
I get this error if i try to compile AOSP:
FAILED: ninja: 'device/linaro/hikey-kernel/Image.gz-hikey970-4.9', needed by 'out/target/product/hikey970/kernel', missing and no known rule to make it
