[Buildroot] uImage build error

[Buildroot] uImage build error

[Choi, David]

Hi all,

 

I am new to buildroot. The version that I use is v2010.05(stable
version)

 

As you see the attached, I almost the default value except mips(little
endian mode).

My Linux version is 2.6.33.5(default version) and configuration is
tb0229_defconfig.

 

Whenever I have tried to build uImage, I have gotten an error message
saying "make[1]: *** No rule to make target `uImage`. Stop.

(Even though I have tried with v2010.08(rc1), I had the same error
message)

 

 

Any comment will be highly appreciated.

 

 

Regards,

David J. Choi

Hi,

Make sure to run 2010.08(rc1) or higher (there were some patches in the 
past concerning kernel image building). Please activate the U-Boot 
bootloader. This should compile a mkimage which will be needed for 
creating an uImage.
 >make menuconfig (activate u-boot and/or kernel building if you want this)
 >make

( Are you trying to run make uImage after deflating? This is not the 
linux kernel. Buildroot is an independant project.
Please read docu page first:
http://buildroot.uclibc.org/downloads/buildroot.html )

Regards,
Marcus

[Buildroot] uImage build error

[Choi, David]

Hello Marcus,

 

Thank you for your e-mail. Basically I understand Buildroot is an
independent from linux kernel, as you pointed out in your previous
e-mail.

The reason I posted the question is that users can select [kernel binary
format] from [make menuconfig] in the buildroot of v2010.08-rc1.  

 

As I need u-boot and linux kernel, I put the need information properly
from the [make menuconfig]. When I choose vmlinux as a kernel binary
format,

I can see the root file system, kernel and u-boot in the output/image
direcoty(rootfs.initcramfs, u-boot.bin and vmlinux.bin).

 

But when I change uImage as a kernel binary format, there is an error
message( make[1]: ***No rule to make target uImage. Stop).

 

I also read the doc that you pointed but I can not find the clue to fix
this issue. 

 

If there is misunderstanding at my side, please make me correct.

 

 

Regards,

David J. Choi

From your previous post, I understand that you are building for MIPS.
However, the kernel doesn't provide a "make uImage" target for the MIPS
architecture: you have to produce the mkimage'd kernel manually.

On the Buildroot side, we should just prevent you from selecting
"uImage" if the architecture does not support it.

Cheers,

Thomas
