== Detailed Instructions ==
* in case of needs you can update your local repository with the following git command
<preclass="workstation-terminal">
git pull
</pre>
* configure the build environment
<pre class="workstation-terminal">
source ~/env.sh
</pre>
*enter to build the source tree directory and binaries run the following commands:
<preclass="workstation-terminal">
make imx_v7_lynx_defconfig
make IMAGE_LOADADDRUIMAGE_LOADADDR=0x80008000 uImage mx6ulimx6ul-lynx-som000c.dtb imx6ul-lynx-som000csom0013-cb002f.dtb imx6ul-axelulite-cb0010.dtbmake modules
</pre>
:The former first command selects the default XUELK configuration, while the latter second builds the kernel binary image with the required u-boot header and the kernel device tree, while the last command build kernel modules (if present in kernel configuration).
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/lynx/</code> with the following commands:
<preclass="workstation-terminal">
cp arch/arm/boot/uImage /tftpboot/lynx/
cp arch/arm/boot/dts/*.dtb /tftpboot/lynx/
</pre>
Usually, kernel modules are installed with <code>make modules_install</code> command, but this method installs the modules into the <code>/lib/modules</code> directory of you MVM, which is not what you want. A better way to deploy kernel modules while cross-compiling is
* generate a <code>.tar.gz</code> archive
* install this archive into the target root file system
User can create such an archive, for example, using the following commands:
<pre class="workstation-terminal">
mkdir modules-install
make INSTALL_MOD_PATH=modules-install modules_install
cd modules-install && tar cvzf ../modules.tar.gz . && cd ..
</pre>
Now copy <code>modules.tar.gz</code> into the target root file system and install them as root with the following command
<pre class="workstation-terminal">
tar xvzf modules.tar.gz -C /
</pre>
