Kernel configuration

[sathya]

Hai,
I need to compile the module “USB driver for GSM and CDMA modems” and integrate it to system.img
how to modify the kernel config & Android makefile and integrate this module to system.img.

When i compile manually, it’s throwing compilation error shown below,

elinux@android:~/projects/dragon410c/lollipop/APQ8016_410C_LA.BR.1.2.4-01810-8x16.0_5.1.1_Lollipop_P2/kernel$ make -j16 ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-androideabi- modules

1. Have you looked into fixing the warning in the code? I think you should.

2. I usually rebuild the kernel and images by using a script like this one below (instead of make ARCH…)

#!/bin/bash

cd ./APQ8016_410C_LA.BR.1.2.4-01810-8x16.0_5.1.1_Lollipop_P2
source build/envsetup.sh
lunch msm8916_64-userdebug

read -p "Clean [y/N]? : " clean
if [ "${clean}" = "y" ];then
        make -j8 clean
fi

read -p "Build Everything? [y/N]: " foo
if [ "${foo}" = "y" ]; then
        make -j8
else
        read -p "press return to build the kernel  " foo
        make -j8 bootimage
fi

I just used these commands to configure and compile kernel

/path/to/asop$source build/envsetup.sh
/path/to/asop$lunch msm8916_64-userdebug
/path/to/asop$make -j32 kernelconfig // to enable modules
/path/to/asop$make -j32 bootimage
/path/to/asop$make -j32 systemimage

Check compile time of the img files and flash using fastboot
