This article is for specific 2.6.37.y Linux kernel branch serie. <br>
 
It is interesting read [[The_Linux_kernel|The Linux kernel article]] previously.
 
 
 
On this 2.6.37.y version, supported IGEP Processor Boards are:
 
* IGEP COM MODULE / ELECTRON (IGEP0030)
 
 
 
 
 
The currently supported IGEP Expansion Boards are as follows:
 
* IGEP PARIS / BERLIN (BASE0010)
 
 
 
 
 
Binaries: latest stable kernel version is: '''2.6.37-9 (20140522)'''

= Build kernel from sources  =
 
 
 
'''Download''' the latest stable version sources and follow next steps:
 
 
 
wget http://downloads.isee.biz/pub/releases/linux_kernel/v2.6.37-9/linux-omap-2.6.37-9.tar.gz
 
tar xzf linux-omap-2.6.37-9.tar.gz
 
cd [kernel version]
 
 
 
Also, it could download from GIT Repositories ([http://git.isee.biz/ http://git.isee.biz/]) and test the last unstable version at your own risk (see "''Linux mainline tree (development)''" chapter in [[The Linux kernel]])<br>
 
 
 
'''Configure''' Linux kernel for IGEP devices. IGEP is ARM architecture based device. A generic configuration is provided for all IGEP machines, and can be used as the default by
 
 
 
make ARCH=arm igep00x0_defconfig
 
 
 
Then '''build''' the kernel and kernel modules. The result will be an ''zImage'' file in arch/arm/boot directory. Execute:
 
 
 
make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=[your cross compiler] zImage modules
 
 
 
For example, if you are using IGEP SDK Toolchain ([[How to setup a cross compiler]]) then you should execute following cmdline:
 
 
 
make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-poky-linux-gnueabi- zImage modules
 
 
 
<br> You can '''install''' the kernel modules to your target rootfs
 
 
 
make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=[your cross compiler] INSTALL_MOD_PATH=[path to your target rootfs] modules_install
 
 
 
= Kernel Parameters =
 
 
 
This chapter describes some [[How do I edit my kernel command line | kernel command line]] parameters you can pass to the kernel during system startup. They also depend on the presence of the hardware with which they are associated.
