I tried to build a kernel for Xperia S with this tut

But I don´t know how to configure the kernel, because I don´t know which defconfig I should use. Tryed "semc_nonzomi_defconfig" but It returned the error:

Can't find default configuration "arch/arm/configs/semc_nonzomi_defconfig"!

I downloaded the .62 Source from Sony official homepage.

Sorry, I was just a mistake this time :rolleyes:, but I tied it before and I tried it again, a few seconds ago with the right name ;)

Can't find default configuration "arch/arm/configs/semc_nozomi_defconfig"!

I downloaded this but there is no defconfig ...?!?

HI all

I'm trying to build my personal kernel ( 99.7 % based on mericon ICS xperia s kernel) , but when I start build process( the config is ok ) the compiler show this error

root@ubuntu:/home/leonardo/kernel# ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=/home/Leonardo/arm-linux-androideabi-4.4.3/prebuilt/linux-x86/bin/arm-eabi- make
make: execvp: /home/leonardo/kernel/scripts/gcc-wrapper.py: Permission denied
CHK include/linux/version.h
CHK include/generated/utsrelease.h
make[1]: `include/generated/mach-types.h' is up to date.
CC kernel/bounds.s
/bin/sh: /home/leonardo/kernel/scripts/gcc-wrapper.py: Permission denied
make[1]: *** [kernel/bounds.s] Error 126
make: *** [prepare0] Error 2


It says permission denied :confused: I'm on ubuntu 11.10 32 bit , (tried with root permission and without it) , and i'm using gcc 4.4.3 ( the compiler that is in android NDK)
anyone can help me?

Thanks . chmod works fine , but now there's another problem :

root@ubuntu:/home/leonardo/kernel# ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=/home/Leonardo/arm-eabi-4.4.3/bin/arm-eabi- make
scripts/kconfig/conf --silentoldconfig Kconfig

make[1]: `include/generated/mach-types.h' is up to date.

Is your PATH set correctly?
make[1]: *** [kernel/bounds.s] Error 2
make: *** [prepare0] Error 2


(I've tried 3 toolchain , but same error)
I've found on google that could be cause the toolchain isn't installed( only extracted , as for me ) but other people sad that the tooilchain works also when only extracted in a folder i'm a lot :confused: what could be the problem?

Make sure you have your gcc binary executable.

Check your toolchain bin directory (/home/Leonardo/arm-eabi-4.4.3/bin), you should have something like arm-*-gcc (for instance, arm-none-eabi-gcc, it changes for each toolchain). You should adjust your "CROSS_COMPILE=..." to mach the proper gcc prefix.

For the exemple I gave, CROSS_COMPILE should be changed to CROSS_COMPILE=/home/Leonardo/arm-eabi-4.4.3/bin/arm-none-eabi-

I tried this way( because I tried 2 different toolchain) but everytime the same error

Strange. If the binary is there, you have probably permission problem again.

You can try mentor graphics toolchain, they work properly for kernels. Just make sure you use proper version/eabi type.

    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...

    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.

    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 :confused:

    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 ?

    nice comment on their site DooM :p

    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.
