How to compile with 4.19

speedyworldclub · September 16, 2019, 2:27pm

Hello all,

I am using Sunxi-A7 device and when I compile OpenWRT with the latest update. I get Kernel 4.14. How can I compile to get Kernel 4.19?

As you see here

github.com

openwrt/openwrt/blob/master/target/linux/sunxi/Makefile#L17




include $(TOPDIR)/rules.mk


ARCH:=arm
BOARD:=sunxi
BOARDNAME:=Allwinner A1x/A20/A3x
FEATURES:=fpu usb ext4 display rtc squashfs
SUBTARGETS:=cortexa8 cortexa7 cortexa53
MAINTAINER:=Zoltan HERPAI <wigyori@uid0.hu>


KERNEL_PATCHVER:=4.19
KERNELNAME:=zImage dtbs


# A10: Cortex-A8
# A13: Cortex-A8
# A20: dual Cortex-A7
# A31: quad Cortex-A7
# A80: octa Cortex-A15/A7
# H3: quad Cortex-A7


include $(INCLUDE_DIR)/target.mk

the sunxi target does already use 4.19 by default.
If you are using another branch than master you could cherry-pick the commit which adds 4.19 support for sunxi, but it's easier for you to use the up-to-date master branch.
