Hello.
A lot of years ago I bought the Samsung XE303C12-A01US Chromebook. I would like to install and boot a linux distro through the sd card that has a kernel that supports qemu and kvm. I've found this old tutorial :
https://community.arm.com/arm-community-blogs/b/architectures-and-processors-blog/posts/virtualization-on-the-chromebook-using-kvm-tool
and I tried to follow it as long as I could. This is what happened :

UPDATE :
I've fixed the previous error following these suggestions :
https://github.com/BPI-SINOVOIP/BPI-M4-bsp/issues/4
basically I've edited the files dtc-lexer.lex.c and dtc-parser.tab.c Found the line 'YYLTYPE yylloc' and changed it to 'extern YYLTYPE yylloc;'
Unfortunately later I've got a new error :
make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabihf- uImage dtbs
/tmp/ccD0cA08.s: Assembler messages: /tmp/ccD0cA08.s:1115: Error: selected processor does not support `cpsid i' in ARM mode /tmp/ccD0cA08.s:1479: Error: selected processor does not support `cpsid i' in ARM mode /tmp/ccD0cA08.s:1617: Error: selected processor does not support `cpsie i' in ARM mode /tmp/ccD0cA08.s:2415: Error: selected processor does not support `cpsie i' in ARM mode make[1]: *** [scripts/Makefile.build:309: init/main.o] Errore 1 make: *** [Makefile:816: init] Errore 2
as suggested I've installed gcc-9 with : sudo apt install gcc-9 and then : sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/gcc gcc /usr/bin/gcc-9 9now my gcc is 9 :
gcc --version gcc (Ubuntu 9.4.0-5ubuntu1) 9.4.0
but the error is not gone.
So,I tried installing gcc 7 and 8,adding :
deb [arch=amd64] archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu focal main universe
to /etc/apt/sources.list
and
ran: apt update; apt install g++-7 g++-8
apt update; apt install g++-7 g++-8
and then :
update-alternatives --config gcc Sono disponibili 2 scelte per l'alternativa gcc (che fornisce /usr/bin/gcc). Selezione Percorso Priorità Stato ------------------------------------------------------------ 0 /usr/bin/gcc-9 9 modalità automatica * 1 /usr/bin/gcc-8 8 modalità manuale 2 /usr/bin/gcc-9 9 modalità manuale
pressing 1 and : make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabihf- uImage dtbs
but :
/tmp/cc24rqCN.s: Assembler messages: /tmp/cc24rqCN.s:1115: Error: selected processor does not support `cpsid i' in ARM mode /tmp/cc24rqCN.s:1479: Error: selected processor does not support `cpsid i' in ARM mode /tmp/cc24rqCN.s:1617: Error: selected processor does not support `cpsie i' in ARM mode /tmp/cc24rqCN.s:2415: Error: selected processor does not support `cpsie i' in ARM mode make[1]: *** [scripts/Makefile.build:309: init/main.o] Errore 1
the error is still there.
update-alternatives --config gcc
I have even installed gcc-7 with the command : apt install gcc-7,but it does not show as a choice :
Sono disponibili 2 scelte per l'alternativa gcc (che fornisce /usr/bin/gcc). Selezione Percorso Priorità Stato ------------------------------------------------------------ 0 /usr/bin/gcc-9 9 modalità automatica * 1 /usr/bin/gcc-8 8 modalità manuale 2 /usr/bin/gcc-9 9 modalità manuale
find /usr -name gcc-7 /usr/bin/gcc-7
sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/gcc gcc /usr/bin/gcc-7 7
update-alternatives --config gcc Sono disponibili 4 scelte per l'alternativa gcc (che fornisce /usr/bin/gcc). Selezione Percorso Priorità Stato ------------------------------------------------------------ 0 /usr/bin/gcc-11 11 modalità automatica 1 /usr/bin/gcc-11 11 modalità manuale * 2 /usr/bin/gcc-7 7 modalità manuale 3 /usr/bin/gcc-8 8 modalità manuale 4 /usr/bin/gcc-9 9 modalità manuale
chosen 2 and tried again : make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabihf- uImage dtbs
same error.
