== Detailed Instructions ==

It is assumed that the development environment has been set up properly as described [[Diva_Embedded_Linux_Kit_(DIVELK)#Quick_start_guide|here]].
* start the Linux development VM and login into the system
* open a terminal window and ''cd'' into Linux kernel source code

<pre class="workstation-terminal">
cd diva/linux/
</pre>

* in case of needs you can update your local repository with the following git command

<pre class="workstation-terminal">
git pull
</pre>

* configure the build environment

<pre class="workstation-terminal">
source ~/env.sh
</pre>


* to build the binaries run the following commands:

<pre class="workstation-terminal">
make diva_defconfig
make LOADADDR=0x80008000 uImage am335x-divelk.dtb am335x-sbcd.dtb
</pre>

:The former command selects the default DIVELK configuration, while the latter builds the kernel binary image with the required u-boot header and the kernel device tree.

Default Linux kernel configuration can be changed by using the standard <code>menuconfig</code>, <code>xconfig</code>, or <code>gconfig</code> make target. Subsequent builds just require <code>uImage</code> make target to update the binary image. Once the build process is complete, the kernel binary image is stored into the <code>arch/arm/boot/uImage</code> file. Both this file and the kernel device tree can be copied to the tftp root directory <code>/tftpboot/diva/</code> with the following commands:

<pre class="workstation-terminal">
cp arch/arm/boot/uImage /tftpboot/diva/
cp arch/arm/boot/dts/*.dtb /tftpboot/diva/
</pre>
