Hello Guys,

Just an update from me, on the subject of kernel 4.0.4 and BPiR1 . The kernels have come and gone , and while waiting for 4.1 to come out I had a bit of a play to see if my original patch set would work on a series 4 kernel . And to cut a long story short it will not . So out came the spare board , and after a few hours of chasing new source for the switch we have a new patch . Hopefully there will not be a huge jump from 4.0.4 to 4.1 as far as the switch is concerned , but anyway the new patch is a better starting place compared with the old one . If any of you guys wants to have a shot at it here is my compiling procedure and gzipped patch attached .

Compiling method :

Delete old files:

rm -rf BUILD/* rm -rf BUILDROOT/* rm -rf SOURCES/* rm -rf SPECS/*

Install KERNEL source:

rpm -ivh ../Downloads/ARM/SRPMS/kernel-4.0.4-202.fc21.src.rpm

Copy b53 driver patch to SOURCES:

cd SOURCES/ cp ../../Downloads/ARM/SOURCES/linux-4.0.4-202.fc21.BPi-R1.patch .

Edit KERNEL config-generic to enable b53 drivers and f2fs:

vi config-generic

add following:

CONFIG_B53=y CONFIG_B53_SPI_DRIVER=y CONFIG_B53_PHY_DRIVER=y CONFIG_B53_SRAB_DRIVER=y CONFIG_B53_PHY_FIXUP=y CONFIG_SWCONFIG=y CONFIG_SWCONFIG_LEDS=y CONFIG_F2FS_FS=y CONFIG_F2FS_STAT_FS=y CONFIG_F2FS_FS_XATTR=y CONFIG_F2FS_FS_POSIX_ACL=y CONFIG_F2FS_FS_SECURITY=y CONFIG_F2FS_CHECK_FS=y

Patch KERNEL spec file :

cd ../SPECS/ patch < /home/msou/Downloads/ARM/SOURCES/kspec_4.0.4.patch

Execute KERNEL Compiling command from SPECS dir:

rpmbuild -ba --target armv7hl --without=perf --without=debuginfo --without=pae --define="_arch arm" --define="_build_arch arm" kernel.spec

You notice that I am enabling f2fs , I am using that file system on my production server . These days you probably do not need to do it as upstream is already doing it . It is just a carryover from my old script .

The kernel spec patch looks like this :

Happy compiling .
