unable to reproduce the image

Question

unable to reproduce the image

tchen61 opened this issue 6 years ago · comments

i tried building the u-boot image... (alfa-network-hornet-ub)
following the instruction, i was able to create a binary image...
the size match the image in original_u-boot_images
alfa-network-hornet-ub_23052014

but the files are different (i did a diff and they are different)

i then loaded it in a NOR flash chip, but it does not seem to boot up at all

one thing i noticed while building was some complaints about
(GIT_DISCOVERY_ACROSS_FILESYSTEM not set, fatal,: not a git repository)
but the make continued and produced

bin/u-boot_mod__alfa-network_hornet-ub__20180309_-git_unknown-unknown.bin

same size as whats in oroginal_u-boot_images but does not work (whatever was in original_u-boot_images does work)

what could be the problem ??

Hi @tchen61,

What toolchain did you use to build the image? How did you download/clone the repository, does it contain hidden .git folder? Do you have git installed on your PC?

Cheers,
Piotr

i downloaded the zip and expanded it.... (did not use git clone) i modified the Makefile and pointing the toolchain to my openwrt staging_dir export TOOLPATH=/home/AP_AR9331/trunk/staging_dir/toolchain-mips_34kc_gcc-4.8-linaro_uClibc-0.9.33.2 #export SUB_MAKE_CMD = $(MAKE) --silent --no-print-directory ARCH=mips V=1 SHELL=$(SHELL) export SUB_MAKE_CMD = $(MAKE) --silent ARCH=mips CROSS_COMPILE:=mips-openwrt-linux-uclibc- export PATH:=$(TOOLPATH)/bin:${PATH} export CONFIG_BOOTDELAY=1 the make worked, but it does not work... however if i downloaded the prebuilt original_u-boot_images, then it works fine the target i am trying is ALFA HORNET UB so my built was make alfa-network_hornet-ub

@tchen61,

i modified the Makefile and pointing the toolchain to my openwrt staging_dir

Try with with current OpenWrt toolchain or show me logs from your build.

what is the best way to debug u-boot without jtag ???

It depends on what you want to debug.

Cheers,
Piotr
