How does my correction become effective?

nopnop2002

I tried to build a new kernel using compile.sh with the following page.

http://www.armbian.com/using-armbian-tools/

It's work fine.

So i changed ./sources/linux-sun8i/sun8i/drivers/net/wireless/rt2x00/rt2800.h & rt2800lib.c to use usb wifi of RT3070,
and I carried out compile.sh again.
But The source I corrected was overwritten in script.

How does my correction become effective?

You have to edit compile.sh.

FORCE_CHECKOUT="no"
    set to "yes" to force overwrite any changed or manually patched kernel, u-boot and other sources
    set to "no" to keep all changes to sources

Thank you for your comment.
I tried, but it was the following error.

[ error ] ERROR in function compile_kernel [ common.sh:176 ]
[ error ] Kernel was not built [ @host ]
[ o.k. ] Process terminated #


Perhaps I think this is the cause.

I wait for 4.6.1.

Have you tried it with FORCE_CHECKOUT="yes" ? When this compiles ok, then you should test it with FORCE_CHECKOUT="no" without changing the source.

Mainline kernel is not fully ready for H3 based boards so pointless to compile this.

The effectiveness of your correction depends on the Football Bros context, whether you're correcting a mistake, modifying behavior, or improving a process.

Create a Patch:
This is the most robust and recommended approach.
Make your changes to rt2800.h and rt2800lib.c.
Use git diff (if the source is in a Git repository) or diff to create a patch Escape Road City file.
