@juicebeer ,
Go to the device/khadas/ directory, run git checkout ./ and check if there is a checkout file. If not, run git branch -a and send me the printed log.

You can check GitHub - khadas/android_device_khadas at khadas-vim3-r-32bit · GitHub

There is no kvim3-kernel directory. Git check is fine.

vim3_build.sh (1.3 KB)
@juicebeer ,
This folder is generated by compilation. You can try using the script above. I can compile it successfully here. The command to run the script is:

./vim3_build.sh n

Thans for your reply. I found the root cause.

When you build the Android Kernel (above), the Linux Kernel will also be built simultaneously.

This sentence is easy to be misunderstood， I thought “./mk TARGET -v 4.9“ should be run in bootloader/uboot directory, and It do works well without any error.

when runing in root directory, all works now. Thanks for your support.
