It was indeed the Ubuntu version. I made a 20.04 VM (i have not much Docker experience) and that did the trick!

Jee-Bee · Compiling LibreELEC Raspbery Pi 2 Jee-Bee January 2, 2023 at 9:38 PM

Hello

I want to run LibreELEC on a Raspbery Pi 2 and as Wifi Defice i have a TP Link Archer T3U.

Because of that the TP Link Archer not directly is supported so i have to compile it.

Since compiling is not my daily business I don't run thru it smoothly.

I use a Virtual machine with Ubuntu 22.04 LTS

As example(s) i use this thread and Buildings basics wiki.

Steps i did

Code

sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade
sudo apt install gcc make git unzip wget xz-utils bc gperf zip g++ xfonts-utils xsltproc openjdk-11-jre-headless

Code

cd ~
git clone https://github.com/LibreELEC/LibreELEC.tv
cd LibreELEC.tv/
git checkout 9.2.0  # First run git checkout libreelec10.0
cd packages/linux-drivers
mkdir RTL88x2BU
cd RTL88x2BU
touch package.mk

Add package

Code

PKG_NAME="RTL88x2BU"
PKG_VERSION="439c7dbd9e43acd91d5704a50b68647716c52505"
PKG_LICENSE="GPL"
PKG_SITE="https://github.com/cilynx/rtl88x2bu"
PKG_URL="https://github.com/cilynx/rtl88x2bu/archive/$PKG_VERSION.tar.gz"
PKG_DEPENDS_TARGET="toolchain linux"
PKG_NEED_UNPACK="$LINUX_DEPENDS"
PKG_LONGDESC="Realtek RTL88x2BU Linux driver"
PKG_IS_KERNEL_PKG="yes"

pre_make_target() {
  unset LDFLAGS
}

make_target() {
  make V=1 \
       ARCH=$TARGET_KERNEL_ARCH \
       KSRC=$(kernel_path) \
       CROSS_COMPILE=$TARGET_KERNEL_PREFIX \
       CONFIG_POWER_SAVING=n
}

makeinstall_target() {
  mkdir -p $INSTALL/$(get_full_module_dir)/$PKG_NAME
    cp *.ko $INSTALL/$(get_full_module_dir)/$PKG_NAME
}

Change: ~/http://LibreELEC.tv/distributions/LibreELEC/options file, add RTL88x2BU to "ADDITIONAL_DRIVERS=" :

Code

ADDITIONAL_DRIVERS="RTL8192CU RTL8192DU RTL8192EU RTL8188EU RTL8812AU RTL88x2BU"

Code

cd ~/LibreELEC.tv

PROJECT=RPi ARCH=arm DEVICE=RPi2 tools/download-tool
PROJECT=RPi ARCH=arm DEVICE=RPi2 make image

Quite short after starting compiling i got an error. And i'm not sure if i miss something that has to be installed'; that i start compiling at the wrong starting point; Maybe even a better compiling method(Docker?).
