Compiling Kernel

Ketki — Fri, 09 Oct 2020 09:56:57 GMT

I was using Android 7.1 with EDM1-iMX6 Dual Lite board with Fairy as baseboard.
On using flashcard script to flash the code boot partition was created with zImage in Android 7.1.
We would make changes to the kernel with make menuconfig and fire the command make zImage to update the build and the changes were reflected.
Now I am switching to Android 9.0 with EDM1-iMX6Q board with Fairy as baseboard.
On using the same script the partitions are different and there is no boot folder or I cannot see any zImage in the folder.
I make changes to the kernel with make menuconfig but make zImage does not reflect the same.
What command do I use instead on make zImage to update my changes from make menuconfig ?

Hello Ketki,

Is possible that you run the script instead of kernel image then you have the virtual kernel partition overwrites only the kernel (zImage, zImage-dtb, Image.gz-dtb) by writing the new image.

But you need the Zimage you have to git clone https://source.codeaurora.org/external/imx/linux-imx and menuconfig and make your configuration and build.

You may ask to EDM1-iMX6 manufacturer if they changed the script.

Regards
