Backport for 802.15.4 doesn't compile

The backport for the IEEE 802.15.4 stack doesn't compile for the UDOO NEO (probably the same with UDOO QUAD...). Here are the logs I get :

Any luck with this? I am also facing the same problem while backporting. Please let me know if you made any progress in this Thanks

 

Hi,

Sorry, I didn't find any solution for this. I didn't look a long time as I have other more important stuff to fix.

 

can you give us more info apart from the log? Following the guide step by step it should compile. Can you provide info on your environment setup?

 

Yes, I compile the kernel from the UDOO OpenEmbedded layer.

Before compiling, edit the defconfig file in the meta-udoo/recipes-kernel/linux/linux-udooboard/udooneo directory. To do so, run those commands in the BUILDDIR:

Code:

bitbake linux-udooboard -c configure
bitbake linux-udooboard -c devshell

In the new opened terminal window, type:

Code:

make menuconfig

Enable the 802.15.4 driver and the 6LowPAN module in the Backport sub-menu and save the new config file.
Copy the new config file .config to replace de deconfig file in the meta-udoo/recipes-kernel/linux/linux-udooboard/udooneo directory. Close the window.
Run the compilation with the new config file:

Code:

bitbake linux-udooboard

 

Sorry, I thought you were talking about UDOO official kernel.
This error may be related to the specific case of Open Embedded.
In this case I suggest you to ask to @graugans, who created that.

 

OE does compile the official UDOO kernel.

I tried with the kernel sources alone using the arm-none-eabihf toolchain and it seems to work. This is effectively environment related.
