'''NOTE''': this is the default configuration suitable for latest target.
:The former command selects the default DESK-MX6-L configuration, while the latter builds the kernel binary image with the required uU-boot 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/desk-mx-l/</code> with the following commands:

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 your MVM, which is not what you want.
A better way to deploy kernel modules while cross-compiling is
<pre class="workstation-terminal">
make modules
mkdir modules-install
make INSTALL_MOD_PATH=modules-install modules_install
