基于 Arm 的 Linux 内核编译指导 psmax2008 发表于 2006-5-18 15:30:00 This guide will give you step by step instructions about compiling a kernel for ARM machines on the target platform. If you find something missing or unclear, please send a mail to the linux-arm list. Here are some initial notes to help you understand the terminology and conventions used in this document: bash$ and bash# are shell prompts, not commands to be typed. host means the machine you are building the ARM kernel on. target means the machine you are building the ARM kernel for. Decide where to build your kernel Firstly, you need to decide where you are going to build your ARM Linux kernel. A good place to build the kernel is in your home directory, which we will refer to as $HOME thoughout this document. If you wish to use some other location, replace $HOME as appropriate. However, please note that building a kernel in /usr/src/linux is highly discouraged. Deciding on a kernel version Firstly, you need to decide which version of the Linux kernel you wish to compile. Most people will want the latest stable kernel release. To help you identify a particular release, a system of version numbers is used by the kernel developers. For any kernel version x.y.z, x - This is the major revision number y - This is the minor revision number, where: Even numbers indicate stable kernel releases Odd numbers indicate development or beta kernel releases which may be less stable. z - This is the patch level of the kernel This version number represents the main line kernel version. At the time of writing this document, the latest stable kernel on ARM is 2.6.6. Under the ARM kernel tree, you will find a suffix to the kernel version number: -rmkN, or -vrsN where N is the patch release number. For instance, 2.4.26-vrs1. This indicates the version of the main ARM kernel patch which should be applied. (note: kernels lat
