[Xperia S] Instructions for building kernel

DooMLoRD · Mar 20, 2012

Sony seems to be really supporting dev community...

they just released some instructions on how to create kernel for this device...

read the source link:
http://developer.sonymobile.com/wp/...-archive-released-with-building-instructions/

we can may be use this thread as a place to have a feedback/discuss the issues so that it may help other devs...

Nice, now we can get going on some custom ROM's, maybe even cyanogenmod will make a ROM

Have you got your device yet ?

-----------------

I hope to see MiUi v4 working on my Xperia S , that will be a total Destruction :O

nice comment on their site DooM

i'm really keen to try, (read: mess about) but please excuse my ignorance - what defconfig should i be making? fuji_nozomi?

Code:

make: *** No rule to make target `include/config/auto.conf', needed by `include/config/kernel.release'.  Stop.

Felimenta97 · Mar 21, 2012

And now... Let the ROMs and kernels begin...

Configuration files can be found in arch/arm/configs.

Xperia NX SO-02D => fuji_nozomi_dcm_defconfig
Xperia S => fuji_nozomi_defconfig

Funny, I missed that completely! Lucky I guessed correctly

EDIT: I've moved on a little, if anyone can help I'd greatly appreciate it!

Code:

CC init/main.o In file included from include/linux/kernel_stat.h:64:0, from init/main.c:31: include/linux/irq.h: In function 'alloc_desc_masks': include/linux/irq.h:442:8: warning: variable 'gfp' set but not used [-Wunused-but-set-variable] error, forbidden warning: irq.h:442 make[1]: *** [init/main.o] Error 1 make: *** [init] Error 2

Ignore, fixed a few posts down..

Hi all
As I said in thsi thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1588800
I don't know what toolchain i've to use to build the .62 kernel of XS
I get the following error:

When I use the default arm-linux-gnueabi- (gcc 4.6):export CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabi-

>make

(a lot of line)

I try also the latest linaro toolchain
export CROSS_COMPILE=/home/chocobn/xs/gcc-linaro-arm-linux-gnueabi-2012.03-20120326_linux/bin/arm-linux-gnueabi-
And i get the same error as previous

err what's wrong with toolchain ?

PS: I do the correct export for ARCH (arm), i'm on ubuntu 12.04, and havn't spoiler on this forum ?

I hope you guys know this, but you can't boot custom kernels yet..
Sony needs to release a patched bootloader first, so don't flash your own kernels yet and wait for the bootloader update from Sony

DooMLoRD to the rescue yet again. Thanks man, arm-eabi-4.4.3 worked a treat with the problem i had 2 weeks ago ^ back up there (i guess my post should have been more explicit)

6.0.A.3.62 and 6.0.A.5.6 just compiled no problem with that tool-chain! Yes, I know we can't use them (yet), but it was something i needed to do for my own satisfaction

nickholtus · Apr 10, 2012

i heard that the bootloader is fixed in 6.0.A.5.6 or higher.
anyone tried it???? (i mailed sony about it and they told me that it is fixed in that firmware)

Don't think anyone has put the 5.6 fw up yet.

Edit : most recent up is the Japanese 4.1

that FW is not for the Xperia S... its for the Japaneses variant [ Xperia™ acro HD (SO-03D) ]...

I don't know if it's relevant but it has the fuji_nozomi def config, I'm still new to this

My sources say we might not get the bootloader fix as a separate update...

This looks grim. Plus bin4ry saying he has a bricked S. Not looking good for this device is it.

When I said no separate update I meant it'll be included with ICS, which should be coming really soon, likely as soon as legal stuff gets sorted out.
