Hi Jagan,
Can you check this error on master?
COPY spl/u-boot-spl.bin MKSUNXI spl/sunxi-spl.bin ERROR: File too large! make[1]: *** [spl/sunxi-spl.bin] Error 1 make: *** [spl/u-boot-spl] Error 2
Yeah, this is unfortunately a known issue with older compilers. I believe GCC 5.x and 6.x are fine, but 4.9.x generates too large code to fit in the 32KB. Can you state your compiler version? I believe both the distributions and Linaro should offer up-to-date (cross-)compilers these days.
We usually use buildman setup, so the compiler version is 4.9.0 ~/.buildman-toolchains/gcc-4.9.0-nolibc/
So, can you maintain/resize orangepi_pc2 wrt 4.9.0 ?
4.9.0 apparently had it's 3rd birthday last weekend ;-) Also there are quite some bugfix releases meanwhile (4.9.4 being the latest). And given that arm64 is a rather young architecture, a three years old compiler is probably bad in many other ways.
So I won't invest much time in getting this particular compiler to work, but instead rather push kernel.org to update their cross compilers. I am about to test build GCC 6.3.0 based on the buildall script they use.
I see that there is ongoing effort to get code size down, maybe that helps here as well, without upgrading compilers.
If you have a particular build test setup, is there any chance you can try to install a newer compiler there? Linaro offers up-to-date compiler packages, also distributions offer packaged cross-compilers for arm64 these days.
Cheers, Andre.
