Configure and Compile the Kernel⚓︎

A toolchain is required; see Cross-Compiler / Toolchain erstellen. If
problems with missing directories ever occur, make world can help. In
normal cases, this should not be necessary.

  1. Select the correct box type, because only the kernel for the
    corresponding box is compiled.
  2. make kernel-dirclean deletes the currently unpacked kernel source
    tree. This means compiling from completely clean kernel sources. If
    you do not want that, try make kernel-clean instead.
  3. make kernel-menuconfig opens kernel configuration. The configuration
    is saved back to ./make/linux/Config.<kernel-ref> afterwards.
  4. make kernel-precompiled compiles the kernel and kernel modules:
    • ./kernel/kernel-<kernel-ref>.bin
    • ./kernel/modules-<kernel-ref>/
