12 years agoOk, so I was trying this a little more. I am still thinking the problem is that the .config is not being generated with everything. I was trying to get 3.12 working and running into similar issues. Still not sure what is the "right" way to get the right .config for each release. But, here is pretty much what I did today and I was able to the usb working.
//How to compile kernel
cd ~
mkdir linux-socfpga-3.12
git clone http://git.rocketboards.org/linux-socfpga.git
cd linux-socfpga
rm .config
git checkout -b socfpga-3.12 origin/socfpga-3.12
export CROSS_COMPILE=/opt/altera-linux/linaro/gcc-linaro-arm-linux-gnueabihf-4.7-2012.11-20121123_linux/bin/arm-linux-gnueabihf-
// generate the .config file...
make ARCH=arm menuconfig
make ARCH=arm
Then you can grab the device file and the zImage arch/arm/boot/dts/socfpga_cyclone5.dtb arch/arm/boot/zImage .
