    How to Compile Kernel for Tinker Board

- Build environment

Installing the build tools

sudo apt-get install git-core gitk git-gui gcc-arm-linux-gnueabihf device-tree-compiler gcc-aarch64-linux-gnu mtools parted libssl-dev
- Build Kernel

1. Compile the kernel

make ARCH=arm miniarm-rk3288_defconfig -j16
make zImage ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabihf- -j16
make modules ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabihf- -j16
make ARCH=arm rk3288-miniarm.dtb CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabihf- -j16

Note: As of 2018-01-05, if may be necessary to edit the Makefile to add -Wno-misleading-indentation to the CFLAGS_MODULE if you are using GCC 6 and up.

2. Install WIFI module to root file system


Insert sd card to linux pc and then mount partition2
(root file system)
Example:

sudo mkdir –p /media/users/sdx2
sudo mount /dev/sdx2 /media/users/sdx2

Open terminal to kernel folder and enter the following com
mands

sudo make ARCH=arm INSTALL_MOD_PATH=/media/users/sdx2 modules_install
sudo umount /media/users/sdx2
3. Replace the kernel image


Insert sd card to linux pc and then mount partition1
(root file system)
Example:

sudo mkdir –p /media/users/sdx1
sudo mount /dev/sdx1 /media/users/sdx1

Open terminal to kernel folder and copy zImage and rk3288-
miniarm.dtb to partition1(boot partition)

cp arch/arm/boot/zImage /media/users/sdx1
cp arch/arm/boot/dts/rk3288-miniarm.dtb /media/users/sdx1
sudo umount /media/users/sdx1
