Build kernel from source


Glock24

Recommended Posts

Hello,

 

I'll like to build my own kernel, mostly to learn more about Linux on ARM. The device I have is RK3399 based (Nanopi M4v2).

 

Can I use the mainline kernel or are some parches needed? Where can I get the correct DTS? Is there any guide on how to do this?

 

I'm not unfamiliar on how to build a custom kernel, but that was on x86/x64. ARM is a very different animal.

Not sure if how far mainline is but some features will certainly be missing in comparison to Armbian.

 

Basically the Armbian build framework does the job for you. There you can also find the larch set armbian a puts on top of mainline and such things.

You've got that right!  :)

Werner mentioned, but I will reiterate:  You could learn a lot by studying/using our build framework. hanging out in IRC, etc.
