Is that the proof?

Definitely.

[maquefel]

Hello @sanderjo !

Indeed there was a problem if original riscv-gnu-toolchain wasn't pulled and built, now it should work correctly.

Yours,
Nikita Shubin

[sanderjo]

Fresh git clone (to be sure):

rm -rf licheerv-boot-build/
git clone https://github.com/maquefel/licheerv-boot-build.git
cd licheerv-boot-build/
git submodule update --init --recursive
make

gives the errors below

Do I have to use plain make, or the TARGET_CROSS_PREFIX=riscv64-unknown-linux-gnu make

rm -rf $backupdir; exit $rc

OK ... swig problem? Now to install swig, and run make again ... BRB

[maquefel]

No - don't install anything that's not the cause.

Do you have riscv64-unknown-linux-gnu installed in your system, which is not part of this build ?

Like:

$ which riscv64-unknown-linux-gnu-gcc
/usr/bin/riscv64-unknown-linux-gnu-gc

?

[maquefel]

If you are installing on a fresh system and want to build bundled toolchain please refer to:

[sanderjo]

After sudo apt-get install texinfo the make seems to go OK:

./sbin/arp
./sbin/fdisk
./sbin/devmem

./sbin/mkswap

sander@brixit:~/git/licheerv-boot-build$

... let's check needed files are there:

sander@brixit:~/git/licheerv-boot-build$ ll sun20i_d1_spl/nboot/boot0_sdcard_sun20iw1p1.bin
ls: cannot access 'sun20i_d1_spl/nboot/boot0_sdcard_sun20iw1p1.bin': No such file or directory

-rw-rw-r-- 1 sander sander 1732160 jan 20 11:26 initramfs.img.gz

So only sun20i_d1_spl/nboot/boot0_sdcard_sun20iw1p1.bin is missing? Let's see what's inside that dir:

sander@brixit:~/git/licheerv-boot-build$ ll sun20i_d1_spl/nboot/

-rw-rw-r--  1 sander sander 3515 jan 20 09:43 Makefile

[sanderjo]

What if I go into sun20i_d1_sp directory, and I try a make from there:

sander@brixit:~/git/licheerv-boot-build$ cd sun20i_d1_spl/
sander@brixit:~/git/licheerv-boot-build/sun20i_d1_spl$ make
Makefile:49: /home/sander/git/licheerv-boot-build/sun20i_d1_spl/board//common.mk: No such file or directory
make: *** No rule to make target '/home/sander/git/licheerv-boot-build/sun20i_d1_spl/board//common.mk'.  Stop.

sander@brixit:~/git/licheerv-boot-build/sun20i_d1_spl$ cd nboot/
sander@brixit:~/git/licheerv-boot-build/sun20i_d1_spl/nboot$ make
Makefile:118: /mk/rules.mk: No such file or directory
make: *** No rule to make target '/mk/rules.mk'.  Stop.

sander@brixit:~/git/licheerv-boot-build/sun20i_d1_spl/nboot$

... is that how it should be?

[maquefel]

The sun20i_d1_spl/nboot/boot0_sdcard_sun20iw1p1.bin issue is simply a bug, it's not builded by make, fixed.

[sanderjo]

Cool ... now all files are there:

sander@brixit:~/git/licheerv-boot-build$ cat README.md | grep -A10 Quick | grep "-" | awk '{ print "ls -al "  $NF }'   | /bin/sh

-rw-rw-r-- 1 sander sander 49152 jan 20 12:44 sun20i_d1_spl/nboot/boot0_sdcard_sun20iw1p1.bin

Hooray!

[maquefel]

Thank you for testing!

[sanderjo]

Thank you for testing!

Thank you for your help, Nikita.

So, I had to install these tools to get the make running:

bison
flex
gawk
makeinfo
swig

Maybe put that into the README?

[maquefel]

Yes - thank you, i've added a link to https://github.com/riscv-collab/riscv-gnu-toolchain/tree/f640044a947afb39c78b96fa1ba1db8aa31b1d89#prerequisites,
the have depencies for Ubuntu/Fedora/Arch.

[sanderjo]

How can I now check that binaries are built for riscv64 (and not x86_64)?

sander@brixit:~/git/licheerv-boot-build$ file build-image/rootfs/bin/busybox
build-image/rootfs/bin/busybox: ELF 64-bit LSB executable, UCB RISC-V, version 1 (SYSV), statically linked, for GNU/Linux 4.15.0, stripped

Is that the proof?
