16:14 fira Hey there
16:17 jnettlet hola
16:18 fira I was told there's some i.MX6 hackers around, and could use a little help with my builds... I'm trying to build an image for i.MX6Quad with Buildroot using i.MX specific accel libs, but can't manage to get a working kernel from FreeScale's source. Anyone got some tips for me ?
16:22 jnettlet what board are you using?
16:25 fira a SABRE-SDB, i'll have to check the specific variant though...
16:27 fira but i can't get past the build stage on FreeScale's code. Already build & ran vanilla 3.14.17 with I-pipe patch, Xenomai3/Cobalt patch and a RTnet driver crammed in, but now i've been asked to shove GPU Accel in the mix -- and can't get anything at all out of FreeScale's kernel source
16:27 jnettlet Well you are more than welcome to try the kernel we maintain. https://github.com/SolidRun/linux-fslc Many community members provide device-tree files and patches for various iMX6 based boards.
16:28 jnettlet I would recommend using the imx_v7_cbi_hb_defconfig config file and then making changes if needed for your board. I have a couple of kernel specific tweaks in there.
16:30 fira Oh, that looks interesting :D I'll give it a try. Thanks a bunch
16:31 jnettlet if you need to patch anything please send pull requests with the fixes.
