Is there a way to generate the kernel files(/lib/modules, uImage) without generating .ipk packages? One day, after a kernel compile, I saw that there were some files under $OVEROTOP/tmp/deploy/glibc/images/overo. I can't get them after rebuilding the kernel to my specs, though. Can I get those files or is this only possible with a rootfs image, like the console image? I have too little HD free space to try building the console image. |

Using 2.6.32 as an example, after running bitbake linux-omap3-2.6.32 you'll find uImage-2.6.32-r51-overo.bin modules-2.6.32-r51-overo.tgz under ${OVEROTOP}/tmp/deploy/glibc/images/overo/ That's your kernel and /lib/modules. The kernel bitbake recipe still generates ipk files, but you don't have to build the full console image. That should save you a lot of space. -- View this message in context: http://old.nabble.com/Generate-kernel-files-only-tp28056550p28058079.html Sent from the Gumstix mailing list archive at Nabble.com. |

Thanks, I already found that out. However, this uImage won't boot my system. It loads the uImage but doesn't show any progress after that. I tar -xvf the modules package on the root of my microSD rootfs with the image on NAND. > Using 2.6.32 as an example, after running > > bitbake linux-omap3-2.6.32 > > you'll find > > uImage-2.6.32-r51-overo.bin > modules-2.6.32-r51-overo.tgz > > under ${OVEROTOP}/tmp/deploy/glibc/images/overo/ > > That's your kernel and /lib/modules. > > The kernel bitbake recipe still generates ipk files, but you don't have to > build the > full console image.

I don't understand this line "I tar -xvf the modules package on the root of my microSD rootfs with the image on NAND." Are you trying to boot from a microSD card or from NAND? -- View this message in context: http://old.nabble.com/Generate-kernel-files-only-tp28056550p28059868.html Sent from the Gumstix mailing list archive at Nabble.com. |

I unpacked the .tgz file containing the modules to the root of my microSD install, and I'm trying to boot the microSD install, which doesn't boot. > I don't understand this line > > "I tar -xvf the modules package on the root of my microSD rootfs with the > image on NAND." > > Are you trying to boot from a microSD card or from NAND? > > |
