Hey Benny!

 MK>> What secret?  I thought we were talking about android.

 BP> show me the android sources ?

According to https://source.android.com/setup/build/building-kernels;

  mkdir android-kernel && cd android-kernel
  repo init -u https://android.googlesource.com/kernel/manifest -b BRANCH
  repo sync

Also of note is the list of devices and their respective branches.  The only
5.x kernel they show is android-gs-raviole-5.10-android12-qpr1-d for the
"Pixel 6 (oriole)".

 MK>> I never went that far with it.
 
 BP> so atleast you tryed :=)

Always.  I may pick it up again in the future but I am not holding my breath
waiting for that to happen.  Maybe just a qemu based one.  Who knows?
 
 MK>> I briefly had a qemu setup for aarch64 
 
 BP> that could be used for cross compile ?

Yes except in that case it isn't really a cross compile.  I did build a couple
aarch64 kernels on a x86_64 using a custom built cross compiler (gcc/g++ of
course) but the rest was done natively on the raspi3b after that, inculding
the final boot kernel.

 BP> i think it would make sense to cross compile on faster hardware
 BP> while running irc on commodore 64 :)

You would.  No commodore here so you'd have to settle with cross compile on
faster hardware, x86_64 in this neck of the woods, and the hell with the irc
chat.
 
 MK>> I thought the real raspi was better 
 
 BP> if you prefer slow ? :=)

No but I do prefer an actual working system at the end of it all as well as
the fact that I never use anything that cannot take care of itself, especially
if the manufacturer is going to short change me on external antenna
connectors.  In the case of the raspi3b I have here, I went through the entire
process of building a capable aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu despite the antenna
situation seeing I already had made the investment.  Now I know for sure why
it is abandonware or at least until a suitable replacement identifies itself.
 
 BP> microsoft have imho no succes with arm yet, but the hardware is
 BP> good, feels like owning a farari and wait for the motor engine

More like a Yugo methinks.  Do they still make those?

 MK> They had their chance and blew it.  Depends doesn't cut it.

 BP> shit happens

Yes but in this case they are to blame for the shit happening.

 BP> old 5.15.16 kernel was on january 21, 17 is today :=)

  cat /proc/version
  Linux version 5.15.17 (root@bitskii) (gcc (GCC) 11.2.0, GNU ld (GNU
Binutils) 2.37) #1 SMP Thu Jan 27 22:12:02 UTC 2022

Looks good from this angle.

Life is good,
Maurice
