Error when compiling SDK firmware

[DarrenC]

Good day,

Would anyone be able to give me some direction on the following error which occours when compiling the RUTX SDK fimrware for a RUTX12 device.

Only amendments to the branding have been made. I am compiling on Ubuntu 22.04 and have followed the instructions on: RUTOS Software Development Kit (SDK) Instruction - Teltonika Networks Wiki

I have done:

./scripts/feeds update -a
make clean
make -j1 V=sc

make[4]: Entering directory '/home/build/projects/teltonika-firmware/PFORTNER_RUTX/build_dir/target-arm_cortex-a7+neon-vfpv4_musl_eabi/hs_theme_default-2022-07-27'

Sounds like you have no
.config file

make defconfig
or
make menuconfig

Also maybe
./scripts/feeds install -a

Thank you. I ended up coming right by just redownloading a new SDK and reimplementing my changes. I guess I meesed up somewhere along the way.

I’ve made 3 incremental builds, each time I increment the version number. However, when I upload the firmware, I always get a message on the frontend saying “Configuration files will not be kept. Files will be erased. Uploaded firmware image is older than the current firnware version.”

Why would it be doing this? If I ever made more changes and increment the version, the deployed devices will lose configuration each time I upgrade them.
