The single-board computer (SBC) and embedded computing market is seeing steady expansion, with a projected valuation of $3.6 billion USD by 2030, growing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6–7% ¹². Growth is largely driven by the rising demand for edge computing, IoT, industrial automation, and AI-enabled systems. ARM-based systems dominate the market due to their low power consumption and cost efficiency, accounting for over 40% of deployed SBCs ¹. However, RISC-V is emerging as a compelling open-source alternative, particularly in industrial and academic sectors, while x86 remains important for legacy and high-performance use cases ². Asia-Pacific leads global g…

This skips all git checkout, patching, configuring and cleaning when USE_EXISTING_KERNEL_TREE=yes is passed. This can be useful when doing kernel development by making changes directly to the kernel sourcetree in cache/sources, while still allowing to use the compile.sh to use the same compilation commands, deb package building, ccache, etc. It is also useful when bisecting a kernel issue. Can be used something like this: USE_EXISTING_KERNEL_TREE=yes ./compile.sh default kernel To produce a kernel deb in a few minutes ready to be installed on a device. This is mostly a proof of concept to explore the usecase. In particular: I am not happy with the USE_EXISTING_KERN…
