Missing target_core_iblock module

❯ modprobe target_core_iblock
modprobe: FATAL: Module target_core_iblock not found in directory /lib/modules/5.15.182-ophub

How could I compile it?

[BrandonStudio]

Copilot suggests this:

amlogic-s9xxx-armbian/compile-kernel/tools/config/config-5.15

Line 2629 in a5535df

# CONFIG_TCM_IBLOCK is not set

[ophub]

amlogic-s9xxx-armbian/compile-kernel/tools/config/config-5.15

Lines 2629 to 2631 in a5535df

	# CONFIG_TCM_IBLOCK is not set
	# CONFIG_TCM_FILEIO is not set
	# CONFIG_TCM_PSCSI is not set

Maybe these items are related, you can customize and enable these options for compilation. If the test is normal, you can submit your modified config for merging.

Is there a test CI? Do I need to run on my device to test?

Custom option test

[BrandonStudio]

I don't see anything related to "custom option" or "test" in the compile-kernel doc

Could you please give me a detailed instruction? For example, the specific argument name.
Also, could this be done in GitHub Action?

[BrandonStudio]

That page still doesn't mention anything about "test"

What exactly do you mean by "test" in

If the test is normal, you can submit your modified config for merging.

? Do I just need to compile it?

[ophub]

The compilation had succeeded even in the first attempt. It just failed when creating release

[ophub]

See the document I sent you to solve the problem of failure

[BrandonStudio]

I can't see a failure

I think I know what you mean now

I'm still not sure whether target_core_file and target_core_pscsi are needed

It can be used normally without adding
