Compile kernel for an old Neffos X1 Max
Hi everyone, I wasted my entire day trying to compile the kernel for a old Neffos X1 Max
I downloaded the source from here https://www.neffos.com/en/support/gpl-code-center
Then git cloned the kali-nethunter-kernel and made a local.config like this
Code:
#!/bin/bash

### Most arm64 kernels above version 4.x is fine with Clang.
# Comment out this section if the above applies to your device.

Based on a README into the kernel source files

For TP903(X1 Max)
1. How to Build
- get Toolchain
From android git server, codesourcery and etc ..
- aarch64-linux-android-4.9
- edit Makefile
edit CROSS_COMPILE to right toolchain path(You downloaded).
Ex) export PATH=$PATH:$(android platform directory you download)/prebuilts/gcc/linux-x86/aarch64/aarch64-linux-android-4.9/bin
Ex) export CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-linux-android-
- copy defconfig files
copy file in folder "configs" to kernel-3.18/arch/arm64/configs
copy files in folder "dts" to kernel-3.18/arch/arm64/boot/dts
enter kernel-3.18
$ mkdir ../out
$ make ARCH=arm64 O=../out tplink6755_65_n_defconfig
$ make ARCH=arm64 O=../out -j8
2. Output files
- Kernel : out/arch/arm64/boot/Image.gz
- module : out/drivers/*/*.ko
3. How to Clean
$ make ARCH=arm64 distclean
$ rm -rf out
################################################################################
Kernel release package version instruction
USE zImage NOTE:
1. This package make out zImage only, you have to get ramdisk and add kernel cmdline to generate a total boot.img before replace your phone's bootimage.
2. If your phone already enable secboot feature, please decrypt or unlock the secboot feature first.
3. Please make sure your phone software version is same with this release package, if not, please download the match version first.
This kernel package is released for the phone software version 2018-1-25
How to build Module
- It is only for modules are needed to using Android build system.
- Please check its own install information under its folder for other module.
################################################################################
[Step to build]
1. Get android open source.
: version info -
( Download site : http://source.android.com )
2. Copy module that you want to build - to original android open source
If same module exist in android open source, you should replace it. (no overwrite)
# It is possible to build all modules at once.
3. excute build command
Please refer to the site: http://source.android.com
I've manually downloaded the toolchain from here https://android.googlesource.com/pla...nto ~/android/
I then got this error...
