So I am trying to port postmarketos, I have gotten very far (everything has compiled) but there is an issue during pmbootstrap install
Before you ask I have asked Matrix/IRC
I noticed my SoC has mainline support so I'm mainlining it
Phone specs:
- Samsung Galaxy A127F
- Exynos 850 SoC
- stock bootloader
Logs:
pmbootstrap zap; pmbootstrap -v install
Files used:
- device-samsung-a12
- linux-samsung-a12
What I think is happening:
mkbootimg is failing for some reason
What I think can fix it:
-
Disabling it. This wiki page says:
" generate_bootimg | Set this to true for fastboot device, so the mkinitfs command will generate a boot.img file after creating the initfs. Add mkbootimg as dependency to your device's APKBUILD! "
I don't know if a phone using samsungs download mode counts as a "fastboot device" I have tried disabling it but heimdall then stopped at 6% I followed the advice of the wiki but then heimdall got stuck at 27%
-
Adding more arguments. The error is error: not enough arguments '/tmp/mkinitfs1981624154/boot.img' so just add the arguments? The problem is I don't know which ones. According to the wiki I could use bootimg_custom_args to add custom arguments, but which custom arguments? And where are the files arguments like --kernel should point to?
Please remind me if I forgot to mention anything and I will happily edit my post :D
Edit: I would just like to say thanks to everyone who has helped me on previous issues and anyone who helps me on any other issue (including this one)
