PLATFORM-RK3399

Prerequisites for building with Armbian for Volumio platform files

x86_64 or aarch64 machine with at least 2GB of memory and >= 35GB of disk space for a virtual machine, WSL2, container or bare metal installation.
Ubuntu Jammy 22.04.x amd64 for native building.
Superuser rights (configured sudo or root access).
Make sure all your system components are up-to-date.

How to build the Armbian kernel and u-boot for Volumio?

Download the armbian build system (example rockchip64, but any local name is valid)

sudo apt-get install git
git clone https://github.com/armbian/build armbian-rockchip64

Download the platform-folder, when existing. Otherwise create a new platform-folder, using an existing one as a template. Then adapt script mkplatform.sh to your needs.

git clone http://github.com/volumio/platform-rk3399

(Re-)Generating the platform files

Start the build script

cd platform-rk3399
cd /mkplatform.sh

This will download all further prerequisites.
Once finished downloading and all patches have been applied, you get the opportunity to add your own local patches.
(mkplatform.sh prerequisite: KERNELPATH="yes").

Once finmished local patching the kernel configuration can be modified. (mkplatform.sh prerequisite: KERNELCONFIGURE="yes").
