Steps to build your own s8xx kernel (armhf) that works with Docker short edition!

I'm purposely skipping a lot of details.

If you don't understand, read the original guide in README.md.

Prerequisites:

• Cross compile toolchains for armhf here

Main steps:

1. git clone --depth=1 or download the zip for the latest active branch of meson-mx-integration here

2. Get kernel config file:

scp root@<s8xx_device_ip>:/boot/config* .config

3. Build kernel:

make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabihf- LOADADDR=0x00208000 uImage modules
# Hold enter to go through the default configs

4. Copy compiled linux source code to target device:

rsync -av -e ssh --progress linux-meson-mx-integration-x.xx-yyyymmdd root@<s8xx_ssh_ip>:/root/

5. Install new headers and modules from the target device:

make modules_install && make headers_install

6. Backup kernel, install new kernel and reboot:

cp /boot/uImage /boot/uImage.bak
cp arch/arm/boot/uImage /boot/
reboot

7. Copy new config to /boot:

cp .config /boot/config-x.xx

8. Delete kernel source:

rm -r linux-meson-mx-integration*
