Building armbian kernel for different distro

[User_green]

Hello, dear armbian community. 
I am using Orange Pi 5 plus, and I want to use kernel-6.16-5-edge-rockchip64 by armbian, as works much better than actual mainline (I have broken HDMI sound, buggy OpenGL, no power profiles)
I, however, want to build kernel for different distro (OpenSUSE Tumbleweed, aka binpkg-rpm).
Where do I get kernel sources to do this?

(And is it the right place to ask this question?)

moved since neither a review nor a tutorial.

 

I made a writeup just a few days ago how to get an idea about how Armbian puts its kernel and uboot sources together with an example for a different board:

There are three ways to do this.
The first simplest is to assemble a binary debian package using the Armbiyan assembly system and then convert it to a rpm package directly in a running OpenSuse OS.

 

The second way is more complicated but it is more correct.
You can take patches directly from the build system and apply them to OpenSuse kernel sources in the sequence in which the build system does this while running.
Next, build the kernel package using rpmbuild.

 

The third way is the same as the second but use OBS.
This will allow you to have your own repository of signed packages and install them using zypper.

You can find like-minded people anywhere on our planet, including this place.

 

Hope this helps you.

That should work for me.
