   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.
