error after building Linux source code for android

[Guest Preetam]

I have compiled the Linux kernel source for android. After building the source i got error,

that is, after

$ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=/path/to/mydroid/prebuilt/linux-x86/toolchain/arm-eabi-4.4.0/bin/arm-eabi- make

i got:

CALL scripts/checksyscalls.sh

CHK include/linux/compile.h

Kernel: arch/x86/boot/bzImage is ready (#1)

Building modules, stage 2.

MODPOST 2283 modules

WARNING: modpost: Found 1 section mismatch(es).

To see full details build your kernel with:

'make CONFIG_DEBUG_SECTION_MISMATCH=y'

so i did the following:

root@ubuntu:~/common# make CONFIG_DEBUG_SECTION_MISMATCH=y

CHK include/linux/version.h

CHK include/linux/utsrelease.h

After even after this i got the same output

root@ubuntu:~/common# make

CHK include/linux/version.h

CHK include/linux/utsrelease.h

SYMLINK include/asm -> include/asm-x86

CALL scripts/checksyscalls.sh

CHK include/linux/compile.h

Kernel: arch/x86/boot/bzImage is ready (#3)

Building modules, stage 2.

MODPOST 2283 modules

WARNING: modpost: Found 1 section mismatch(es).

To see full details build your kernel with:

'make CONFIG_DEBUG_SECTION_MISMATCH=y'

The actual output should be

Kernel: arch/arm/boot/Image is ready

Kernel: arch/arm/boot/zImage is ready

Also i have executed "make" command many times, now there is no "image" in the arch/arm/boot/ directory. I tried to run the emulator with the image from arch/x86/boot but that didn't work. It gave me an error. The actual command is

./emulator -avd my_avd -kernel ~/common/arch/arm/boot/zImage -show-kernel -verbose

Now, as i don't have any image in /arch/arm/boot i did:

root@ubuntu:~/android-sdk-linux_x86/tools# ./emulator -avd avd1.5 -kernel ~/common/arch/x86/boot/bzImage -show-kernel -verbose

and i got this error:

emulator: control console listening on port 5554, ADB on port 5555

emulator: can't connect to ADB server: Connection refused

emulator: ping program: /home/preetam/android-sdk-linux_x86/tools/ddms

emulator: ping command: /home/preetam/android-sdk-linux_x86/tools/ddms ping emulator 10.0

Where have you downlaoded the sources?

i downloaded it from

$git clone git://android.git.kernel.org/kernel/common

and it is in $~/common directory

the android source is from

$repo init -u git://android.git.kernel.org/platform/manifest.git

and is in $~/mydroid directory

i refer http://linuxclues.blogspot.com/2010/05/bui...el-android.html

thank you.

I think you must use the goldfish version, as your reference says :D

Edit: Are you sure to have cleaned the source with make clean and to have entered the correct patch for your gnueabi compiler? I suggest you to use my script to download kernel and ramdisk and pack them in a boot.img: https://github.com/gnufabio/stuff/blob/mast...il/mkliquidboot
