Hi,

Nice! I tried rebuilding the kernel while keeping the precompiled openembedded root filesystem. It could not boot beyond the point where the init starts. I followed the exact same steps to compile the kernel from linaro and it did compile without any problems. As for the image preparation there wasn't any problem either.

I tried running several times but it gets stuck at the same point and there is no reponse to key presses.

Thanks for any help!

Regards, Sundar

This is great. Just tried the pre-compiled image and works like a charm. It took a little longer than two minutes though on my i3/4Gig machine. Haven't yet tried compiling anything yet but how do i get started with porting some libraries to armv8? Just compile with the toolchain and run?

Great!

This page gives some ideas on how to rebuild the filesystem and how to fix some common issues: https://wiki.linaro.org/HowTo/ARMv8/OpenEmbedded

Perhaps you want to try to build this or that software you care about, or just try "bitbake world" to build as many things as possible and see what breaks :-)
