How to Install MiniArch linux-aarch64-headers #73

JFLim1 · 2025-01-07T06:52:16Z

Trying to install WiFi modules on MiniArch-EOS Orange Pi 5 Plus. But noticed that MiniArch Kernel linux-aarch64-headers is not installed and is not sure how to install MiniArch linux-aarch64-headers-6.12.8.

Well - you should have kernel headers already installed (my building process doing this at image creation pahase)
In done test on vanilla sd card downloaded form my site and booted on my opi5-plus:

[root@alarm alarm]# pacman -Qs linux

As you see there is package: linux-aarch64-api-headers

Then doing: ls /usr/include/linux*

gives me:

Thanks. I do notice linux-aarch64-api-headers is installed. Is linux-aarch64-api-headers the same as linux-aarch64-headers?

After system updates the currentl kernel versiion is linux-aarch64-6.12.8-1 and linux-aarch64-api-headers-6.12.8-1 but linux-aarch64-headers as I can tell is not installed. Was trying to install WiFi driver "rtw89-dkms-git". Was told it needed the corresponding kernel-headers "linux-aarch64-headers-6.12.8-1"

No. linux-aarch64-api-headers is just for applications. If you want to build kernel modules you need inux-aarch64-headers.
Indeed - vanilla sd card image has only api-headers (for saving image size).
I updated miniarch script in c32e8160820c8e30d20c2e651c5941c2e81f490c to install also headers the user runs start 5
Pls do:

run start 5
skip reboot
run again start 5
reboot

you should have now installed headers good to run dkms...

Ah - this is because kernel build scripts are built on mine x86 host (i'm cross-compiling).
They are included in kernel-headers package and yours dkms tries to use them - but on aarch64 machine (you are building natively).
It looks like linux kernel building infra is not prepared for cross-compile linux headers. Solving this is a bit out of mine project :-(
huh....

Probably simples way will be to:
-download 6.12.9 kernel source code to your opi,
-run make modules_prepare to construct complete /scripts, then move it into /lib/modules/uname -r`/build`

Thanks for clarifying and the info.

A bit of a greenhorn in kernel compiling and is currently out of my depth. Hopefully in future you might consider to include "rtw89-8852be" wifi driver in your kernel.

Thank you for your great works.

warpme · 2025-01-10T16:05:02Z

I update kernel and it should now include 8852be module.
Can you update and try?

Somehow had the same build "rtw89-dkms-git" error.

This might be a dumb question, if you have include the 8852be module in the kernel why it trying to install it using dkms?:

==> dkms install --no-depmod rtw89/r1117.9636e1b -k 6.12.9

Your previous attempt to compile rtw89 left your system in state where it still tries to compile rtw89
I don't have epierience with current dkms on Arch so I suggest search Internet about: how to remove dkms building from post-transaction hooks

Thank you. Remove "rtw89-dkms-git" using "yay -R rtw89-dkms-git". Not sure whether it remove the hook.

Reboot still did not see WiFi available.

Do I have to reinstall linux-aarch64-6.12.9-2 and linux-aarch64-headers-6.12.9-2 from /var/cache/pacman/pkg?

Edit: Notice lsmod do have rtw89_8852be

Hi @warpme,

Resolved the WiFi 8852be driver issue on new kernel-6.12.9-2 by copying /lib/firmware/rtw89 drivers from another image to MiniArch-EOS /lib/firmware/. With the /lib/firmware/rtw89 in place, WiFi now works MiniArch-EOS-kernel-6.12.9-2 on Opi5-Plus. Thank you.

No idea why /lib/firmware/rtw89 was missing eventhough "lsmod |grep rtw89" return rtw89_8852be is available.
