Build kernel from sources

Download the latest stable version sources and follow next steps:

For clone linux-imx

git clone git://git.isee.biz/pub/scm/linux-imx.git

Export environment variables

source /opt/poky/1.8/environment-setup-cortexa9hf-vfp-neon-poky-linux-gnueabi

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 CROSS_COMPILE=[your cross compiler] imx6-igep0046_defconfig

Then build the kernel, the kernel modules and the device tree files. The result will be an zImage file in arch/arm/boot directory. Execute:

make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=[your cross compiler] zImage modules dtbs

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
