Cores (and Loboris),
I'm having issues with a Realtek driver as well.  Just installed the OrangePi-PC Ubuntu image, and after figuring out that I needed to install build-essentials to compile software, the install.sh script tells me that /lib/modules/3.4.39/build does not exist.

An 'ls -l' search of /lib/modules/3.4.39 gives me

1. /lib/modules/3.4.39

As you can see, the build and source directories are symbolic links to what I'm assuming are Loboris' home directory, which obviously don't exist on my pi.  How do I fix this?

Thanks!

You will need kernel headers (this is the 'build' error you are getting) or build the kernel from source and include the drivers (if not already included in the kernel source tree)

loboris kernel source tree can be found here: https://github.com/loboris/OrangePI-Kernel
(but it seems to have 'kernel-panic' problems once compiled)

Same thing here, with Opi-Plus, distro="jessie". Everything compiled from github source.What i done:  OrangePi-BuildLinux create_image ; image_from_dir ; dd the img to SDCard than OrangePI-Kernel build_linux_kernel; copied the script.bin and uImage to SDCard's BOOT, and libs to SDCard's linux. Is it sould be OK, not? Or am I left something?

Thanks, Marcell

With this compiler and some small modifications I got it to finish the compilation of the kernel and modules successfully, but once I install the kernel on my OPI-PC I get a kernel panic because of a hard lockup on CPU 3

Same here;

I'm also trying to build a kernel with some additional options, among other things, the network bonding driver... Unfortunately by no means a Linux expert, just playing around with it for some months, so most likely a bit too ambitious to build a customized kernel but like learning hands-on.

And many thanx for your great work!!!

Kali Linux Distro is missing also Openwrt. Anyone tried to make one?

mrroland

Im trying to build a kernel with the source from mega for my orangepi-pc. I need the sequencer module and hr timing for audio applications.
I ran the config_linux_kernel.sh and selected the modules i needed.
I ran "build_linux_kernel.sh 2", it all compiled without errors.
When i checked the modules i needed... nothing in the build dir.... only the modules that where already selected.
Also not build into kernel...
I try d multiple times.... no change.
I don't get it....

Even worse: the kernel panics.....

10.700429] EXT4-fs (mmcblk0p2): mounted filesystem with ordered data mode. Opts: (null)
[   10.795258] Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init! exitcode=0x00000200
[   10.795268]


Anybody got a suggestion?

No Internet over wired Ethernet

OrangePI-PC_Ubuntu_Vivid_Mate.img and
Fedora22_Mate.img
Both boot on my OPI-PC; my thanks to loboris.

But I cant connect to the Internet over wired Ethernet via my router.

orangepi@OrangePI:~$ ifconfig
lo        Link encapocal Loopback  
          inet addr:127.0.0.1  Mask:255.0.0.0
          inet6 addr: ::1/128 Scope:Host

Note:

My router also DHCP and LAN cable ok with other devices
My router sees no additional Device for OPI when connected
If I :
ifconfig eth0 up 192.168.0.25
I get a loopback connection, but no Internet connection.

Cable/Router connects OK to Internet with my RaspberryPi2
Thanks for any help.

UPDATED GitHub sources.
The problem with kernel panic after building is now solved.
(As GitHub does not allow empty directories, there was a missing directory in rootfs, solved by creating it in build script)

- For building script.bin files you have to install sunxi-tools package.
- If building on 64bit OS, you must install lib32stdc++6 package (maybe also some other lib32* packages)

@mrroland please, use the git sorces, they are newer. When configuring the kernel with config_linux_kernel use the parameter 2 or plus (new).
