Arch Linux User Repository

I get an error in package().

"${srcdir}"/../<something> must not be used -- because $srcdir can be anywhere and in no relation with other directories (can be defined in makepkg.conf).

All "own" files you need need to be specified in the source array. This way it is ensured that they are within ${srcdir}, so that there is no need to leave that directory, so that you can use
"${srcdir}"/50-spi_ch341_usb.rules and
"${srcdir}"/spi_ch341_usb_setup.sh.

Please fix.

Here the error:

==> Starting package()...
cp: cannot stat '/tmp/makepkg/build/spi-ch341-usb-dkms/src/../50-spi_ch341_usb.rules': No such file or directory

Thanks for maintaining!

Ahoj,

you use the latest checkout from a git repository.

So, according to the ↗ VCS package guidelines, you must rename your package to spi-ch341-usb-dkms-git (i.e. with the -git) suffix.

Please do so (upload new package and file a merge request for the old package), and provide appropriate conflicts and provides entries in the PKGBUILD of the renamed package.

Thanks for maintaining!,
regards.

@yueduz Any messages in dmesg/journal when plugging in? Make sure the jumper is set to SPI/I2C (red LED active), not UART (blue LED active).

The driver is loaded, but the spi device does not appear

I patched my own version to call generic_handle_irq instead of handle_simple_irq, but after reading the documentation and code of both functions I doubt that is the real way to do it.

I've looked and I can see no other way of gaining access to an irq's irq_desc besides irq_to_desc. I was also unable to find the rationale for unexporting it in the first place.

@Pumpko There is commit 64a1b95bb9fe3ec76e1a2cd803eff06389341ae4 on Dec 10 2020 to linux sources tree: +#ifdef CONFIG_KVM_BOOK3S_64_HV which breaks spi-ch341-usb build. I don't know how to fix this without kernel source modification. We can either wait until spi-ch341-usb upstream fixed or propose patch to the Arch linux package maintainers or to upstream kernel sources. If i had full CH341 chip datasheet, i would try to reimplement the driver, but i can't found it. Sorry, i accidentally mentioned another person in the previous comment.

@politas, i got the same error after some recent update. Trying to figure out how to fix it.

I tried all your fixes but it doesn't work (still the same errors as politas'). I tried to pull directly from github and patch it too but I got these error

@politas, in dkms.conf:

SUBDIRS=${dkms_tree}/${PACKAGE_NAME}/${PACKAGE_VERSION}/build

must be changed to:

M=${dkms_tree}/${PACKAGE_NAME}/${PACKAGE_VERSION}/build

What am I missing?
