3.4. Build Kernel¶

During Linux development, the kernel source code may need to be modified and recompiled. For example, the kernel needs to be recompiled if:

Enabling features which are disabled in the kernel defconfig
Disabling features which are enabled in the kernel defconfig
Modifying kernel source code to port kernel to a custom board

Once the Processor SDK Linux package is installed, the kernel source code is under <SDK_INSTALL_DIR>/board-support/linux-<version>/. Please refer to Processor SDK Documentation Kernel User Guide for how to compile the kernel for AM64x.
