[KERNEL]How to build a custom Android Kernel for your device

ric105 · Jan 31, 2013 5 1

Make no assumptions !

After (too) many failed attempts, I resorted to following the aforementioned steps to the letter. It seems that toolchain selection is important! I had been using (because of some other kernel work) the Android NDK 4.4.3 toolchain.

Once I switched to the Code Sourcery G+ toolchain, my kernel would finally boot.

Just thought I'd make this more obvious, in case someone else made the same assumption.
(And thanks everyone.)

Best Regards

You put the wrong path to gcc. Search for arm-none-eabi in the toolchain folder and tell me where it is

Just put these commands..
C++ --version
C --version
Gcc --version
If you get all the versions then tell me else install them

uninstall gcc by opening the ubuntu store or wateva its called.. look in upper right corner and type gcc in it... uninstall it... and then install it again... use those commands again this time.. it will work

it's not working. sgy stock kernel do not have /proc/config.gz and gcc version in arm-2011.03 not compatible with other precompiled module.

this is work for me

requirement :
1. linux box 32 bit with working gcc. you can use real linux machine or virtual machine
2. Sourcery G++ Lite 2009q3-68 toolchain for ARM EABI from http://www.codesourcery.com/ (Linux version without installer arm-2009q3-68-arm-none-eabi-i686-pc-linux-gnu.tar.bz2)
3. mkbootimg with md5support. got it from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=22224170&postcount=241 . credit to harish2704
4. split_bootimg.pl (google it)
5. kernel source from http://opensource.samsung.com . i use GT-S5360_GB_Opensource_Update2.zip
6. stock boot.img (or from your custom kernel).

step :
1. make folder "sgy" in your home. the result is folder "/home/<yourname>/sgy". <yourname> is your linux user name, and from now replace <yourname> with your user name. put all file you already download there
2. extract "GT-S5360_Kernel.tar.gz" from "GT-S5360_GB_Opensource_Update2.zip". put also in "sgy" folder
3. open terminal emulator and go to your working path with command

Code:

cd ~/sgy

4. extract your compiler with

Code:

tar -xvf arm-2009q3-68-arm-none-eabi-i686-pc-linux-gnu.tar.bz2

5. create folder "kernel" and extract kernel source there

Code:

mkdir kernel cd kernel tar -xvf ../GT-S5360_Kernel.tar.gz

you got 2 folder, "common" and "modules"

6. open folder "common", there is file "Makefile". open with text editor and find line with content "/opt/toolchains/arm-eabi-4.4.3/bin/arm-eabi-". replace with "/home/<yourname>/sgy/arm-2009q3/bin/arm-none-eabi-", don't forget replace <yourname>.

7. in terminal goto folder "common" and load default config for sgy

Code:

cd ~/sgy/kernel/common make bcm21553_totoro_05_defconfig

8. if you want change you config run

Code:

make menuconfig

9. if you ready to build then run

Code:

make

or if you have dual core cpu and want to make it faster

Code:

make -j3

10. when complete and no error appear, copy your kernel to "sgy" folder

Code:

cp arch/arm/boot/zImage ~/sgy

11. extract ramdisk from your boot.img

Code:

cd ~/sgy/ perl split_bootimg.pl boot.img

you got "boot.img-kernel" and "boot.img-ramdisk.gz". move "boot.img" and "boot.img-kernel" to other place.

12. repack your new kernel and ramdisk. but first get md5sum of your new kernel

Code:

md5sum zImage

you got something like

Code:

1fd319aa60abc2abae2e5932bcb9fc77 zImage

you need that "1fd319aa60abc2abae2e5932bcb9fc77" write it or copy to text editor. you need run it every time compile new kernel

13. repack

Code:

chmod +x mkbootimg ./mkbootimg --kernel zImage --ramdisk boot.img-ramdisk.gz --base 0x81600000 --kernelMD5 <your md5sum result> -o boot.img

14. make odin flash-able

Code:

tar -cf boot-sgy.tar boot.img

Can I use a 64bit linux box as well?
