| + | #REDIRECT [[RPi Kernel Compilation]] |
| − | | + | |
| − | You can compile the kernel on the board itself, but because of the limited resources it will take a lot of time. Alternatively you can crosscompile the kernel on another machine running Linux, Windows or OS X.

| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | On Ubuntu Oneiric getting the arm cross compiler can be as easy as:
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | sudo apt-get install gcc-4.6-arm-linux-gnueabi
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | (TODO: Is this the right one? More packages required? I did this a while ago! TODO: Other distributions?)
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ==== getting the sources ====
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | create a directory where you can work on the raspberry pi software. I called mine "raspberrypi". Then clone the git repository.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | mkdir raspberrypi
| + | |
| − | cd raspberrypi
| + | |
| − | git clone https://github.com/raspberrypi/linux.git
| + | |
| − | cd linux
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ==== compiling ====
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Next you have to configure the kernel:
| + | |
| − | cp arch/arm/configs/bcmrpi_cutdown_defconfig .config
| + | |
| − | make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=/usr/bin/arm-linux-gnueabi- oldconfig
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Then building the kernel:
| + | |
| − | make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=/usr/bin/arm-linux-gnueabi- -k
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | You can use the "-j" flag to improve compilation time. If you have a dual core machine you can use "-j 3", for a quad core machine you can use "-j 6", and so on.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | nb. If you get the error messages that arm-linux-gnueabi-gcc cannot be found when running make run the following command:
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | sudo ln -s /usr/bin/arm-linux-gnueabi-gcc-4.6 /usr/bin/arm-linux-gnueabi-gcc
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | this basically creates a symbolic link to the 4.6 binary

| − | ==== getting the compiler ====
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Build the cross toolchain:
| + | |
| − | crossdev -v -t arm-unknown-linux-gnueabi
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | This command will most certainly fail on your machine. What you have to do to make it work, is to adjust the cross tools versions with the "--b", "--g", "--k" and "--l" flags. For the exact usage refer to the crossdev manpage. A good starting point for figuring out the right versions are those which are stable for the arm architecture.
