Rebuilding MK808 kernel

[srd424]

Hey,

I'm tearing my hair out trying to rebuild the kernel for MK808 stick. The original 'ug802recovkernel.img' you supplied back in the early Picuntu days works fine, but I can't manage to build my own working kernel, regardless of which sources or toolchain I use. At the moment I'm pinning on commit dd6c934 from this repository, and using the armhf compiler chain that ships with Ubuntu 14.04, which I'm assuming should be fine.

Unpacking and repacking your original kernel works fine, so it's not my version of mkkrnlimg. I've found the original kernel tarball hosted on googlecode.com, but I can't download it -- I assumed that the early history in this repository would be close it. Any clues, pointers, hints, etc. would be very grateful!

Thanks,
Steve

Try this -

https://github.com/aloksinha2001/rockchip-marsboard-rk3066-linux-3.0.8

Its what we have forked and cleaned up.. should get compiled for any
device...

Ah, thanks for the tip! I finally got a working kernel using
dd6c934 and the toolchain from
https://github.com/DooMLoRD/android_prebuilt_toolchains.git .. will experiment
with your new repository too. Would be good to figure out what was causing my
problems..
