Hi Andreas,

ELRepo has 'kmod-mbgclock' built for x86_64:

https://elrepo.org/linux/elrepo/el8/SRPMS/kmod-mbgclock-4.2.10-5.el8_5.elrepo.src.rpm

I wonder if you can just build the aarch64 version by modifying the spec file. Maybe worth trying. You'd be building a kmod package that is supposedly kABI-tracking.

The README file says:

Linux kernels 2.6.x, 3.x, 4.x and 5.x up to at least 5.6
- on standard PCs (i386 architecture)
- on Intel/AMD 64 Bit systems (x86_64 architecture)
- on SPARC64 architecture
- partially on IA64 (Itanium) architecture
- partially on ARM architecture

I don't know how "partial" it is on ARM.

Hi there,
I want tu use my Raspberry Pi 4 as a timeserver. I have a USB Clock from
Meinberg and want to compile mbgtools-lx-4.2.8.
While compiling with make:
Calling kernel build system to make “modules”

ERROR: Kernel configuration is invalid.

Run ‘make oldconfig && make prepare’ on kernel src to fix it.

How to solve this error?
[root@raspi4 mbgtools-lx-4.2.8]# rpm -qa | grep kernel | sort

[root@raspi4 mbgtools-lx-4.2.8]# cat /etc/almalinux-release
