wz_flash-helper uses thingino kernel source. The compilation steps are the same as building thingino kernels after the kernel config files are patched.
Ubuntu 24(on a virtual machine or Linux Container) with git, fakeroot, cpio and other Buildroot mandatory packages installed. 1GB free disk space is also required for each SoC that you build.
1. Prepare
Clone the Github repo:
git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/archandanime/wz_flash-helper.git
cd wz_flash-helper
2. Patch kernel source
./build.sh patch
3. Install packages that are required by thingino Buildroot
cd thingino-firmware
BOARD=<profile> make bootstrap
4. Build
To build a kernel, run:
./build.sh kernel <SoC>
To generate a release, run:
./build.sh release <SoC>
where as SoC is either t20 or t31
To clean up, run:
./build.sh clean
To build everything, run:
./build.sh clean && ./build.sh release t20 && ./build.sh release t31
Compiled kernels and releases will be saved at output/ directory.
On the first time you build a kernel/release, it might take a long time to download necessary toolchains before the compiling, after that it takes only about a couple of minutes.
