<\/a>Raspberry Pi VNC window, running kernel 3.8.0..<\/p><\/div>\n
The starting point was the 3.7.1 Pi code, at https:\/\/github.com\/Olipro\/linux-RPi<\/a>.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The kernel.org patch for 3.8.0 assumes the code base is 3.7.0, so I had to ‘revert’ the 3.7.1 patch.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The ‘incremental’ patches at kernel.org start with the 3.7.1 – to 3.7.2 patch, but the 3.7.0 to 3.7.1 patch can be found in the main kernel tree, at\u00a0http:\/\/www.kernel.org\/pub\/linux\/kernel\/v3.0\/patch-3.7.1.bz2<\/a> \u00a0\u00a0 Then ‘revert’ the patch, by appending the -R parameter..<\/p>\n That will give you a 3.7.0 version of the Pi kernel\/module\/drivers code, so then apply the standard 3.8 kernel.org patch from ftp:\/\/ftp.kernel.org\/pub\/linux\/kernel\/v3.0\/\u00a0<\/a>\u00a0 to update it to 3.8.0..\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 This will not apply 100% cleanly, so more hacking needs to be done, to get it to compile without errors!<\/p>\n In drivers\/mmc\/host<\/strong><\/em>, Replace the 3.8 version of smsc95xx.c<\/strong> and smsc95xx.h<\/strong> with the 3.7 versions, in drivers\/net\/usb<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n Remove references to __devinit and __devexit and __devinitdata from all bcm2835……c<\/strong> source files in sound\/arm.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n This should result in a Pi kernel that will (cross) compile successfully, but not without several ‘warnings’..<\/p>\n Result: Note:\u00a0 This should only be attempted if you have some idea what you are doing.\u00a0\u00a0 It is a nasty<\/strong><\/span> hack, and may well produce unforeseen errors.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Not<\/span> recommended for production environments, and where data is valuable!<\/p>\n Robert Gadsdon.\u00a0\u00a0 February 22nd, 2013.
