Please describe the problem

Describe the bug

on either branch:

make BOARD=nitropad-nv41
Makefile:208: *** "nitropad-nv41: neither CONFIG_COREBOOT nor CONFIG_LINUXBOOT is set?".  End.

I also tried setting that variable

export CONFIG_COREBOOT="/path/to/heads/config/coreboot-nitropad-nv41.config"

CONFIG_COREBOOT="/path/to/heads/config/coreboot-nitropad-nv41.config"

make BOARD=nitropad-nv41 CONFIG_COREBOOT="/path/to/heads/config/coreboot-nitropad-nv41.config"

Still the same error

The Makefile at that place:

 199   │ # Bring in all of the module definitions;
 200   │ # these are the external pieces that will be downloaded and built
 201   │ # as part of creating the Heads firmware image.
 202   │ include modules/*

 204   │ define bins =

 206   │ endef
 207   │ define libs =

uhm why should I install a random zip file from Mega?

[tlaurion]

@boredsquirrel I understand you are trying to build Heads the old way. The new way is already documented on both heads-wiki (https://osresearch.net) and https://github.com/linuxboot/heads?tab=readme-ov-file#building-heads

You should have landed here: https://github.com/linuxboot/heads?tab=readme-ov-file#pull-docker-hub-image-to-prepare-reproducible-roms-as-circleci-in-one-call

TLDR, one call operation to build nv41 Heads master rom after git clone of the repo with docker installed :
docker run -e DISPLAY=$DISPLAY --network host --rm -ti -v $(pwd):$(pwd) -w $(pwd) tlaurion/heads-dev-env:latest -- make BOARD=nitropad-nv41

This is since May 02 2024, where Nix reproducible buildstack was merged with this PR #1661

Since then, you can use prepared reproducible docker image to produce reproducible ROM for linuxboot/heads (here), where other Heads distro will have their own build recipes to follow.

Please reopen this issue if you consider it was closed too quickly. I have no clue why you say you have to dowload randmim zip file from Mega either.

thanks!

I am trying to follow the instructions with podman on Fedora 40:

$ git clone https://github.com/Dasharo/heads.git
$ git switch rel_novacustom_nv4x_adl_v0.9.1
$ git pull

$ podman run -e DISPLAY=$DISPLAY --network host --rm -ti -v $(pwd):$(pwd) -w $(pwd) tlaurion/heads-dev-env:latest -- make BOARD=nitropad-nv41

make: stat: Makefile: Permission denied
make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found.  Stop.

Likely some incompatibility between podman and docker args? I tried bash and fish, and I moved the heads repo to home, to avoid having uppercase characters in the path.

The makefile and board configs are there.
Btw, that branch is newer than the "novacustom_laptops" one, so I used that, is that correct?

This is upstream Heads, not Dasharo.
To build for nv41:

git clone https://github.com/linuxboot/heads
cd heads
docker run -e DISPLAY=$DISPLAY --network host --rm -ti -v $(pwd):$(pwd) -w $(pwd) tlaurion/heads-dev-env:latest -- make BOARD=nitropad-nv41

Do not try to mix build instructions from forks: build from forks instructions.

[boredsquirrel]

thanks for your help!

still the exact same error, again with podman

make: stat: Makefile: Permission denied
make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found.  Stop.

Remove dir. Clone again. Have docker. No podman. Try again. Give commands and errors. Otherwise: can't reproduce, also not mind reader.
