I'm trying to build 4.19 kernel modules for Tinkerboard with Armbian's build script (https://github.com/armbian/build).

But when I chose the board 'Tinkerboard' from the Armbian building script CUI menu, the output ko files were all built for 4.4.

How can I create 4.19 ko files for Tinkerboard?

I tried to put userpatches/lib.config in order to overwrite KERNELBRANCH with tag:v4.19.y but not luck.

The error was shown below:

Any suggestions/helps are appreciated.

How did you get your board on Linux 4.19.x if the build script offers you 4.4?

NEXT kernel is 4.19.y but you have to choose it when building.

1. Start from clean unchanged build

2. After you select Tinkerboard select "NEXT"

 

Edit: Vagrant? https://github.com/armbian/build/issues/1599
