=What is Linux?=
[[Image:tux.png|left]][http://www.kernel.org The Linux Kernel Archives]Linux is a clone of the operating system Unix, written from scratch by Linus Torvalds with assistance from a loosely-knit team of hackers across the Net. It aims towards POSIX and Single UNIX Specification compliance.
Newest kernels can require build the dtbs too as:
make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=[cross compiler] zImage modules dtbs
The result will be a zImage file in <code>${KERNEL_SOURCES}/arch/arm/boot</code>
The result And dabs will be a zImage file in in <code>${KERNEL_SOURCES}/arch/arm/boot directory. You /dts</code> At last you can install the kernel modules to your target rootfsusing this command
make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=[cross compiler] modules_install INSTALL_MOD_PATH=[path to your target rootfs]
make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabihf- zImage modules dtbs =Stable kernels=<span style="color: #ff0000;">'''NOTE: These are the kernels considered stable and recommended for normal use.
