Issue with Building Linux Kernel Single module

Hi,

I downloaded Legato Linux Distribution Legato-Dist-Source-mdm9x28-SWI9X07Y_02.09.02.00.tar.bz2 . I extracted this distro. I also have toolchain installed in my machine. I am build for WP76 module.
I am trying to build only serial module with following command in Kernel directory:

make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=/opt/swi/y22-ext/sysroots/i686-pokysdk-linux/usr/bin/arm-poky-linux-gnueabi- M=drivers/usb/serial/

But I am stuck at following error:

ERROR: Kernel configuration is invalid.
include/generated/autoconf.h or include/config/auto.conf are missing.
Run ‘make oldconfig && make prepare’ on kernel src to fix it.

WARNING: Symbol version dump ./Module.symvers
is missing; modules will have no dependencies and modversions.

LD drivers/usb/serial/built-in.o
Building modules, stage 2.
./scripts/Makefile.modpost:42: include/config/auto.conf: No such file or directory
make[1]: *** No rule to make target `include/config/auto.conf’. Stop.
make: *** [modules] Error 2

And if I run

make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=/opt/swi/y22-ext/sysroots/i686-pokysdk-linux/usr/bin/arm-poky-linux-gnueabi/arm-poky-linux-gnueabi-

then I get following error:

arch/arm/kernel/hibernate.c: In function ‘swsusp_arch_suspend’:
arch/arm/kernel/hibernate.c:82:9: error: too many arguments to function ‘cpu_suspend’
return cpu_suspend(0, arch_save_image);
^~~~~~~~~~~

extern int cpu_suspend(unsigned long);
^~~~~~~~~~~
make[1]: *** [arch/arm/kernel/hibernate.o] Error 1
make: *** [arch/arm/kernel] Error 2

Can someone please help?

Thanks,

Hi,

I am able to build to build the image with “make image” command in yocto folder. But now build is failing at the last step while creating the image. Below is the log:

make image

Shell environment set up for builds.

You can now run 'bitbake ’

Common targets are:
core-image-minimal
core-image-sato
meta-toolchain
adt-installer
meta-ide-support

You can also run generated qemu images with a command like ‘runqemu qemux86’

Can someone provide some insight?

I’ve been fighting with the same problem. I’m still trying to track down why the mkyaffs2image command isn’t found. I did discover if I run make image_bin a second time the build finishes. Seems like the build scripts don’t know where to find mkyaffs2image until the second run.

Updating to the newest toolchain and yocto source fixed the issue for me. I think the older toolchain script wasn’t building something correctly.
