06:24 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <jason123santa> yeah i did that and its building now

06:25 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <jason123santa> its just some kernel debug stuff that requires 8gb of ram to build when it was not a thing before

07:54 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <human_urostor> BTF (BPF Type Format) is the metadata format which encodes the debug info related to BPF program/map. The name BTF was used initially to describe data types. The BTF was later extended to include function info for defined subroutines, and line info for source/line information."

09:28 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <bom_ne_bom> Hello. During build ive got next message

09:28 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <bom_ne_bom> [🚸] You can abort now, and pass either KERNEL_GIT=full or KERNEL_GIT=shallow to force.

09:28 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <bom_ne_bom> Where i should pass a full? Seems compile.sh do not take it.

09:30 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <Werner> You don't have to pass this switch. If there is sufficient disk space it will automatically go with full, otherwise shallow.

09:34 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <bom_ne_bom> It begins a 60sec delay, if im not pass it explicitly. This is not so important for me, just searching various info for planned automation.

09:34 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <bom_ne_bom> It begins a 60sec delay, if im not pass it explicitly somewhere. This is not so important for me, just searching various info for planned automation.

09:35 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <bom_ne_bom> Ah seems it is work, when it passed through config-board.conf

09:39 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <Werner> board config, passed as switch or having environment variable should all work the same

10:45 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <bom_ne_bom> Eh, there is another stupid question.

10:45 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <bom_ne_bom> uboot-config place saved configuration file into output/

10:45 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <bom_ne_bom> Can i store it in userpatches somehow, like kernel config or maybe i can reference to it in board.conf?

10:46 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <bom_ne_bom> Sorry im pretty noob in all this stuff and the build also as build framework processes is a kind of magic for me.

11:05 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <Werner> I think so, never used uboot config myself though

11:38 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <bom_ne_bom> Im really hard to understand these "patch" system. Ok, i have a *.patch with config changes, but it is for files in output pathes. (due to i have no another)

11:38 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <bom_ne_bom> But looking at another uboot pathes, i see, what they make diff in u-boot source config pathes.

11:38 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <bom_ne_bom> But looking at another uboot files, i see, what they make diff in u-boot source config files.

11:48 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <Werner> what are you trying to achieve?

11:49 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <bom_ne_bom> I need to disable serial driver in my orange pi or atleast to be able to load it as module, for now it is builtin in kernel and uboot

11:55 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <Werner> For uboot you could use a function similar to this to disable whatever the serial thing is named: https://github.com/armbian/build/blob/main/extensions/uboot-btrfs.sh

11:55 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <Werner> and for kernel, a `kernel-config`should do.

11:57 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <Werner> there is a similar function for kernel changes but not sure how that one was called

12:01 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <Werner> ah. `opts_m+=("BRIDGE_NETFILTER") ` where ` BRIDGE_NETFILTER` should be the name of the serial driver you want to set as module instead of y.

12:01 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <Werner> And the function would be `armbian_kernel_config__whatever_you_want_to_call_it`

12:03 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <menu> *why*, out of interest?

12:05 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <bom_ne_bom> The long story here

12:05 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <bom_ne_bom> .

12:06 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <bom_ne_bom> In short, i need to somehow fix the serial driver. And i have no f* idea from what to begin.

12:06 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <bom_ne_bom> No advices, no guide, so... im want to begin from "ability to load this driver as module"

12:08 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <bom_ne_bom> And i have no any clue, how linux builds and what is "module" itself, how it must be builded and loaded.

12:08 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <bom_ne_bom> Atleast i have time for it...

12:11 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <bom_ne_bom> So this really looks like ▲░*л♀Йopts_mСЄхK÷WpNETFILTER ê╔яЬ╙

12:11 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <bom_ne_bom> For me 🙂 and I do not know what is opts_m and NETFILTER =))

12:11 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <bom_ne_bom> So this really looks like -- Hey, you just need to:▲"░*л♀Йopts_mСЄхK÷WpNETFILTER ê╔яЬ╙"

12:11 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <bom_ne_bom> For me 🙂 and I do not know what is opts_m and NETFILTER =))

12:14 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <Werner> How important is it for you that this is modified in both uboot and userspace? I mean uboot hands over the pins to the kernel after it is done so it only occupies them as serial console as long as it works in the boot phase

12:17 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <bom_ne_bom> If im just disable it in kernel -- boot fails. But i need to confirm this.

12:20 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <Werner> Then use it with the build switch `ENABLE_EXTENSIONS=module`

12:26 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <Werner> https://paste.next.armbian.com/ucevodopuf

12:36 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <Werner> Perhaps `DEBUG_UART_8250` is the one for uboot

12:45 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <bom_ne_bom> I am barely keeping up to your thoughts

12:48 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <bom_ne_bom> Ok, so i may use it to enable\disable uboot with this extra function? But im cant understand it mechanics, how the needed config title will be applied to u-boot here?

12:51 kingdomofheaven has quit [Ping timeout: 244 seconds]

12:53 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <Werner> the module.sh extension consists of two functions. one hooks into the kernel configuration, the other right after armbian is done with its uboot config before building.

12:54 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <Werner> function names consist of two parts: the function type and and individual name, separated by `__`

13:12 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <bom_ne_bom> Im looked it call scripts/config on after uboot configuration, to disable some flag.

13:12 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <bom_ne_bom> As i understand it is executed when cwd somewhere in cache/sources

13:12 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <bom_ne_bom> But both (kernel and uboot) have this path.

13:12 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <bom_ne_bom> As i understand it is executed when cwd somewhere in cache/sources/(u-boot???)

13:20 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <bom_ne_bom> Im looked at your extension, it call scripts/config on after uboot configuration, to disable some flag.

13:20 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <bom_ne_bom> As i understand it is executed when cwd somewhere in cache/sources/(u-boot???)

13:20 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <bom_ne_bom> But both (kernel and uboot) have this path.

13:55 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <cyberjak> After much tests to be sure I found the reason I was having issues was at least 2 SD cards that for whatever reason decided to finally be faulty *shrugs at IT HAPPENS EVENTUALLY* as to why I was failing to get the CB1/BTT Pi1.2 image to flash the desktop or minimal image.

13:55 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <cyberjak> I did however find a new complication.

13:55 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <cyberjak> In the desktop image ( released on the 112th I think it said )

13:55 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <cyberjak> because Wayland is set to manage things, with XFCE , the synaptic package manager will not work unless you install policy kit and authenticator packages using APT

13:55 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <cyberjak> Ideally this should be set as default part of the install if it's what's going to be in there on 1st start ( just my thoughts but didn't know if that small input was worth putting to the GitHub
