For some reasons when I try to install build twice I get:

cp: cannot stat `rpi-build-archive/*.elf': No such file or directory
touch /home/pietrushnic/src/rpi-bcm2835/workdir/install.target
Target 'install' done

before that error script rm -rf some stuff:

+ rm -rf /boot/start_cd.elf /boot/start.elf /boot/start_x.elf
+ rm -rf /boot/bootcode.bin
+ cp 'rpi-build-archive/*.elf' /boot/

If user reboots it have to reflash SD card to recover from this problem.

I was able to narrow down the difference to fact that when running second time rpi-build doesn't invoke transfer target, which final dependence is fetch. I don't know why fetch is not called. It looks like it is related with downloading build components.

Hi @notro,
I have two questions about rpi-build:

• is it possible to build custom sha from raspberrypi/linux ?
• is possible to attach own config file other than patching existing config using Rakefile, like we did it in rpi-bcm2835 ?

Or maybe I should look into other tools. I have to back to those workflow, because of my current project.

Best Regards,
pietrushnic

It would be great for contributors to have ability to change parent repository (and maybe branch). This would give possibility of using experimental versions, branches with fixes and work in progress features.

This is nice to have.

Easy to workaround for this issue is checkout of remote repository in $HOME/rpi-build/bin and $HOME/rpi-build/stdlib

Hi Notro,

I wanted to try your new rpi-build scripts und used the example https://github.com/notro/rpi-build/wiki#ipv6-kernel-built-on-ubuntu-1204. However I always get this error message:

/home/marco/rpi-build/bin/build:17: undefined method `require_relative' for main:Object (NoMethodError)

This is the full output:

marco@ubuntu:~$ rpi-build

Same situation for valid address but without working ssh service on target. This introduce confusion when you installed kernel on RPi and it breaks IP connection.

It would be great to use rpi-build to test RPi upstream Github repo.

i built your bcm2835x branch and get errors when i try to boot the kernel.
first i copied the recent raspbian image(Kernel 3.10) to my sd card and then boot.scr, boot.scr.uimg to the boot partition of the sd card. additional i copied zImage and bcm2835-rpi-b.dtb to the boot partition, too.
output on booting:

when i try to run the commands in the boot.scr manually, i get following error:
Bad Linux ARM zImage magic!

Can you help me?

I'm currently using a Rakefile like this:

require 'mylib/my-kernel'

release :pi1 => :my_rpi_common do
end

release :pi2 => :my_rpi_common do
    ENV['LINUX_DEFCONFIG'] = 'bcm2709_defconfig'
end

And then building like this:

rpi-build use[mylib] pi1 clean build
rpi-build use[mylib] pi2 clean build WORKDIR=workdir7

(Two separate installs are also required to produce a card with both kernels.)

This seems to work, but I'm sure it's doing some steps redundantly. Is it possible to streamline this into a single build that does both kernels? Or is there some better way to do this? (I couldn't find a way to change the default WORKDIR inside the Rakefile based on the release, which would have been nice.)

Maybe the wiki could be updated with a Pi2 example as well?

Hello,

I tried to build the builtin version of the modules via ./release.sh builtin, but sadly it does fail on one of the patches:
