Only some hardwares are build after compilation

For Developers

Hi,

I compiled a build from master for my r7800 and tplink c2600 but I don't know why but for the first time, I just have r7800 at the end (img, bin) and for c2600 only tplink_c2600-initramfs-uImage is there in bin folder...

idea?

CONFIG_TARGET_ipq806x=y
CONFIG_TARGET_ipq806x_generic=y
CONFIG_TARGET_MULTI_PROFILE=y
CONFIG_TARGET_DEVICE_ipq806x_generic_DEVICE_netgear_r7800=y
CONFIG_TARGET_DEVICE_ipq806x_generic_DEVICE_tplink_c2600=y

Too big kernel?
Enable verbose build logging and check the build of for errors.

3

it is test on kernel 5.15, I did not receive error during build

4

the build can fail silently for a device, it if is about max. Kernel size or total image size.

Grep the verbose log for "is too big"

ok, so if I want to see the errors, can I add some rules? cause I had V=sc

6

No, the image size errors are soft, so that buildbot can build the other devices even if one fails.

ok, thanks.

is there a solution about that?

8

For what?

Check the logs, and if it is about kernel size, build less modules.

9

the build i for testing, very small build, weird

10

Well, what does the log say?

Typical examples for size errors

11

I enabled log in menuconfig, the next compile will be ready in 10 minutes, I will show you here.

12

where should I look in log?
/package/kernel/linux ?

13

Usually logs/

yes , that ; /package/kernel/linux ? is in log

15

Well, I use tee and store also the whole verbose image compilation output as a log file, in addition to the package specific logs.

make -j 5 V=s 2>&1 | tee logs/build.log | grep -i -E "^make.*(error|[12345]...Entering dir)|^warning"

of which the core is
make -j 5 V=s 2>&1 | tee logs/build.log
(the grep part is just beautifying/pruning the shown build-time console output)

thank you for that, I can't use it cause the experimental features needs to be enabled to check the testing kernel and usually during complation we need to press enter for new usb features and with your way to do make and compile I don't receive that in the terminal but I see it in the log, still in waiting.
see last line.

New kernel symbol that is missing the default...

... in your kernel 5.15 config.

No idea, why R7800 gets built, but the other model does not.
Possibly something about the device specific package selections, but that sounds a bit strange.

Other possibility is that you have not done a make clean before the build.
(I do always, so that everything gets built on the same run.)
