Building a custom kernel for NXP "Freescale i.MX8MQ EVK" board

[ramesh_r]

Hello,

I have a i.IMX8MQ NXP EVK. This currently boots up with linux kernel version 4.14.98-00063-gbcdaf61.

Can someone please help me download the linux kernel source for this board, build an image & boot up using that kernel? 

Thanks & Regards

Ramesh

Thanks Igor,

I have another board, this is iMX6 EVK

Board: MX6SX SABRE SDB

This is currently running linux ver 4.9.88.

1) Need to download the ARM toolchain,

2) Download the linux kernel source

3) build an image

4) need to upgrade / flash the newly built image to boot up the board.

Could you also point me to the documentation to get the above listed items done as well for iMX6?

Thanks in advance. Attaching a picture & HW Info for reference.
