Arch Linux User Repository

@hcore fixed. :)

The next line was giving me issues, so I updated it as follows

-if [ $host_os = Linux ] && [ -n "$DISTRIB_RELEASE" ] && linux-version compare $DISTRIB_RELEASE ge 19.10; then

sha256sum 532e14eefa7574e541736b172068f862ddf6a2b4d294e74be83528143dcf1e4d

@Best Fixed.

need git dependency

@yjun Just tested the new version here, problem solved! Thanks!

@xenobro sorry for slow response, Fixed. :)

\Ok, I think I know what's happening: the patch is supposed to find this chunk of code at line 432 in aml-flash-tool/flash-tool:

 print_debug ""
 print_debug "Parsing image configuration files"
 print_debug "---------------------------------"
 source /etc/lsb-release
 if linux-version compare $DISTRIB_RELEASE ge 19.10; then
     platform_conf_name=`awk '/sub_type="platform"/{gsub("file=","",$1); gsub(/"/,"",$1); print $1}' $tmp_dir/image.cfg`
     print_debug "platform_conf_name  = $platform_conf_name"
     ddr_filename=`awk '/sub_type="DDR"/{gsub("file=","",$1); gsub(/"/,"",$1); print $1}' $tmp_dir/image.cfg`

And change it to

 print_debug ""
 print_debug "Parsing image configuration files"
 print_debug "---------------------------------"
 # source /etc/lsb-release
 if echo "BTW, I use Arch" >> /dev/null 2>&1; then
     platform_conf_name=`awk '/sub_type="platform"/{gsub("file=","",$1); gsub(/"/,"",$1); print $1}' $tmp_dir/image.cfg`
     print_debug "platform_conf_name  = $platform_conf_name"
     ddr_filename=`awk '/sub_type="DDR"/{gsub("file=","",$1); gsub(/"/,"",$1); print $1}' $tmp_dir/image.cfg`

But last week, 2025-03-24, commit fcf0458 changed that chunk to line 435 and altered it to

 print_debug ""
 print_debug "Parsing image configuration files"
 print_debug "---------------------------------"

 if [ -e /etc/lsb-release ]; then
     source /etc/lsb-release
 fi

 if [ $host_os = Linux ] && linux-version compare $DISTRIB_RELEASE ge 19.10; then
     platform_conf_name=`awk '/sub_type="platform"/{gsub("file=","",$1); gsub(/"/,"",$1); print $1}' $tmp_dir/image.cfg`
     print_debug "platform_conf_name  = $platform_conf_name"
     ddr_filename=`awk '/sub_type="DDR"/{gsub("file=","",$1); gsub(/"/,"",$1); print $1}' $tmp_dir/image.cfg`

So I found a workaround: in 0001-BTW_I-use-Arch.patch, change

-source /etc/lsb-release

Then you have to change the patch's sha256sum in PKGBUILD from

...
            'd9a1e81742452298b4181470a3791910c781fdbfaba55c301cb9578a165c61f6')

...

At last, just run makepkg -si as usual and it will compile.

Now can someone who understand this better check if this is correct? And if it is, incorporate it into the package? Otherwise, how can we message the package maintainer to fix this?

Sorry for the long post and thank you very much.

I'm having the same problem as @dongfengweixiao, makepkg -si fails with:

==> Starting prepare()...

Hunk #1 FAILED at 432.
1 out of 1 hunk FAILED -- saving rejects to file aml-flash-tool/flash-tool.rej
==> ERROR: A failure occurred in prepare().
    Aborting...

Can somebody please help?

@snackattack I think it's a good idea, so I use the aml-update script to wrap the update command[1].
