[Xperia S] Instructions for building kernel

---

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/2...-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

@DooMLord

Have you got your device yet ?

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

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

sadly nope... the device isnt released in India yet

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?

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

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

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!

Hi all
As I said in thsi thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....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 to use this toolchain https://sourcery.mentor.com/sgpp/lit...al/release2032
(arm-2011.09) export CROSS_COMPILE=/home/choco/xs/arm-2011.09/bin/arm-none-eabi-
I get this:

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 ?
