Kernel build failed for wireless driver

[Harshad Joshi]

I have synced latest android-x86 repository and trying to build noughat image..everything compiled before kernel build failed and gave this error

Please check "kernel/drivers/net/wireless/broadcom/wl/" , the broadcom wireless driver download with build process(due to Copyright problem);

You don't need add the driver manualy,  there is build.mk in "kernel/drivers/net/wireless/broadcom/wl/build.mk" to download the driver during the build.

This is build.mk content:

# parts of build/core/tasks/kernel.mk

WL_ENABLED := $(if $(wildcard $(WL_PATH)),$(shell grep ^CONFIG_WL=[my] $(KERNEL_CONFIG_FILE)))

WL_SRC := $(WL_PATH)/hybrid-v35$(if $(filter x86,$(TARGET_KERNEL_ARCH)),,_64)-nodebug-pcoem-6_30_223_271.tar.gz

WL_LIB := $(WL_PATH)/lib$(if $(filter x86,$(TARGET_KERNEL_ARCH)),32,64)

$(WL_SRC):

        @echo Downloading $(@F)...

        $(hide) curl -k https://docs.broadcom.com/docs-and-downloads/docs/linux_sta/$(@F) > $@

$(WL_LIB): $(WL_SRC) $(wildcard $(WL_PATH)/*.patch)

        $(hide) tar zxf $< -C $(@D) --overwrite -m && \

                rm -rf $@ && mv $(@D)/lib $@ && touch $@ && \

                patch -p1 -d $(@D) -i wl.patch && \

                patch -p1 -d $(@D) -i linux-recent.patch && \

                patch -p1 -d $(@D) -i linux-48.patch

$(INSTALLED_KERNEL_TARGET): $(if $(WL_ENABLED),$(WL_LIB))

~               

You need to make sure you have access to this URL above;

Good luck!

is this ok? 

[Mauro Rossi]

The build/download scripts are ok.

The problem is that download happens at build time, if the destination URL is not reachable (temporary  broadcom server downtime, being offiline from internet or having some proxy/filter blocking broadcom servers)

then the build will fail.

If Broadcom servers are accessible, the build will not fail.

I get - document not found when I click this link 

https://docs.broadcom.com/docs/linux_sta/hybrid-v35_64-nodebug-pcoem-6_30_223_271.tar.gz

Is there any other link I can download this file from ?

There is a GitHub link,but I am not sure if it's the same gzip as our requirement .

I believe this is because broadcom change its driver tar file location after certain android-x86 released.

You can just search the file name and download it .

Also you may switch to newer android-x86 version.  Both android-x86_7.1_rc1 and rc2 work fine.

Or you just ignore build broadcom wl driver if broadcom wifi chip is not on your hardware.  Those driver module build are just for a wider hardware support but not necessary for your specific hardware.

Thank you for pointing it out.
Seems the new link is:
https://docs.broadcom.com/docs-and-downloads/docs/linux_sta/hybrid-v35_64-nodebug-pcoem-6_30_223_271.tar.gz

Exactly. You can just remove
CONFIG_WL=m
from kernel/arch/x86/configs/android-x86_64_defconfig
if you don't need it.

[Harshad Joshi]

Thank you. I will update the new link in build script and check it.

I'm confused.

The current link in build.mk is exactly the correct one as shown:

https://osdn.net/projects/android-x86/scm/git/kernel/blobs/kernel-4.9/drivers/net/wireless/broadcom/wl/build.mk

It's set since Jun 4 2016 and no changed at all.

So what problem did you have exactly?

I removed the broadcom link and it got built successfully. 

Now I have issues in building marshmallow firmware and I have posted of Mesa Radeon driver build issue in group.

Having the same problem; picking up where this topic left off.
I was intending to build for androidx86 (32 bit version)...
only pre-built iso 32 bit version worked on both of my machines.
They are both x86_64 Arch with 32,64 bit CPU op-mode(s) non-UEFI machines

Dell Latitude E6400
Dell Inspiron 570

last repo sync ...-b nougat-x86  5/2/2018

This is my bcm wireless driver  content:

/android-x86$ ls kernel/drivers/net/wireless/broadcom/wl/
build.mk                                      linux-48.patch
hybrid-v35-nodebug-pcoem-6_30_223_271.tar.gz  linux-recent.patch
Kconfig                                       wl.patch


no Makefile here ? should there be one?

console output:

/home/admin/admMnt/buildOS/andOS/android-x86/kernel/scripts/Makefile.build:44: /home/admin/admMnt/buildOS/andOS/android-x86/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/broadcom/wl/Makefile: No such file or directory
make[6]: *** No rule to make target '/home/admin/admMnt/buildOS/andOS/android-x86/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/broadcom/wl/Makefile'.  Stop.
/home/admin/admMnt/buildOS/andOS/android-x86/kernel/scripts/Makefile.build:645: recipe for target 'drivers/net/wireless/broadcom/wl' failed
make[5]: *** [drivers/net/wireless/broadcom/wl] Error 2
.
.
.

As per the discussion above, it looks like the build.mk file does have the correct URL for the wl driver but it is not downloaded during the build.

I downloaded the ~linux_sta/hybrid-v35-nodebug-pcoem-6_30_223_271.tar.gz and put it in the folder and re-ran the build but to no avail; stopped at the same error.

Any pointers appreciated; I'd like to get the wl drivers setup from the build.

...any suggestions on this?

How did you build the iso exactly?

Try to touch kernel/drivers/net/wireless/broadcom/wl/*.gz

The Makefile of wl is generated on fly after the
tarball is downloaded.
You can check
kernel/drivers/net/wireless/broadcom/wl/build.mk
and follow the commands to do it manually.

Besides, did you build 32-bit or 64-bit kernel?
For 64-bit kernel you need to download
hybrid-v35_64-nodebug-pcoem-6_30_223_271.tar.gz

[Harshad Joshi]

I will try building Android-x86 with 32 bit kernel. Lets see if it compiles well.

I built the 32bit, I see they're different ones... I'll try touch and try it again

.. I unset the CONFIG_WL option to let the build keep running

So the Makefile is extracted from the tar.gz file, Ok.
