recompiling the Pi Kernel

dharr19

Hi,

 

I was hoping to find the documentation on getting and then recompiling a kernel that will work with Pi.

 

Any hints or clues are appreciated

Cheers

David

    Cross-compiling on a more powerful machine is of course the sensible thing to do, not only for speed but to avoid an enormous number of rewrite cycles on the SD card.

     

    Just out of curiosity though, has anyone actually timed how long it would take to compile a kernel natively on Pi?  I'm also curious about whether the main thing that constrains native compilation speed on Pi is CPU or filestore.
