Hi All,

I cross compiled the stable longterm kernel 4.9.31 on my ubuntu MATE 16.04.2 LTS x86-64 today.

Could you please test this cross compiled kernel on your AmigaOne X1000? I'd like to know if it works.

Download: vmlinux-4.9.31-cc-AmigaONE_X1000.tar.gz

Cross compiling instructions:

System requirements: Ubuntu 14.04 x86 or higher

1. Install the toolchain with the following commands:
   
   

   Code: Select all

   sudo apt-get install gcc-powerpc-linux-gnu

   
   
   

   Code: Select all

   sudo apt-get install build-essential

   
   
   

   Code: Select all

   sudo apt-get install libncurses5-dev

   
   
2. Download the stable longterm kernel 4.9.31
   
3. Unpack the kernel archive
   
4. Rename the directory for the Nemo patch:
   
   

   Code: Select all

   mv linux-4.9.31 a

   
   
5. Patch the kernel source code with the Nemo patch:
   
   

   Code: Select all

   patch -p0 < nemo_4.9-8.patch

   
   
6. Patch the kernel source code with the BFQ patches:
   
   

   Code: Select all

   patch -p0 < 0001-block-cgroups-kconfig-build-bits-for-BFQ-v7r11-4.5.0.patch
patch -p0 < 0002-block-introduce-the-BFQ-v7r11-I-O-sched-for-4.5.0.patch
patch -p0 < 0003-block-bfq-add-Early-Queue-Merge-EQM-to-BFQ-v7r11-for.patch
patch -p0 < 0004-Turn-into-BFQ-v8r7-for-4.9.0.patch


   
   
7. Copy the additional files from the directory b to a
   
8. Copy the old kernel config file to the a directory
   
9. Change to the directory a
   
10. Create a new kernel config file based on the old kernel config file:
    
    

    Code: Select all

    make CROSS_COMPILE=powerpc-linux-gnu- ARCH=powerpc oldconfig

    
    
11. Compile the Linux kernel:
    
    

    Code: Select all

    make CROSS_COMPILE=powerpc-linux-gnu- ARCH=powerpc vmlinux

    
    
12. With file you can check if make had built a PPC64 kernel.
    
    

    Code: Select all

    file vmlinux

    
    
    

    vmlinux: ELF 64-bit MSB executable, 64-bit PowerPC or cisco 7500, version 1 (SYSV), statically linked, BuildID[sha1]=4fe4132740899efc7f601766209a96a45993c92c, not stripped
    

    
    
13. Compile the Linux kernel modules:
    
    

    Code: Select all

    make CROSS_COMPILE=powerpc-linux-gnu- ARCH=powerpc modules

    
    
14. Install the Linux kernel modules:
    
    

    Code: Select all

    sudo make CROSS_COMPILE=powerpc-linux-gnu- ARCH=powerpc modules_install

    
    
    You can get the kernel modules from the directory /lib/modules.

Please test the cross compiled kernel.

Thanks,
Christian
