Dear all,<br><br>Finally we have succeeded on building a Raspberry Pi kernel and in making it start to boot.<br>Unfortunately it is still freezing for unknown reasons in different points.<br><br>Please follow the normal instructions for building a standard target.<br>
<br> git clone <a href="http://git.linuxfoundation.org/llvmlinux.git">http://git.linuxfoundation.org/llvmlinux.git</a><br> cd llvmlinux<br> make sync-all<br> cd targets/rpi<br> make<br><br>On success, you should have your kernel at llvmlinux/targets/rpi/src/rpi/arch/arm/boot/Image.<br>
Now you need to get the tools from official repo and generate a compatible kernel.<br><br> git clone <a href="https://github.com/raspberrypi/tools.git">https://github.com/raspberrypi/tools.git</a><br> cd tools/mkimage<br>
./imagetool-uncompressed.py /path/to/llvmlinux/targets/rpi/src/rpi/arch/arm/boot/Image<br><br>This generates a file, at the same directory, called kernel.img which is the basically the original<br>kernel with padding. Now, replace your kernel.img in your sdcard distro (make a backup before).<br>
I have tested with Raspian.<br><br>Boot Raspberry Pi, normally you should get at least some messages from kernel or sometimes<br>an infinite loop printing random things. Please refer the attached photo in my case.<br><br>
