# uConsole CM4 kernel sources
|
|
uConsole kernel is based on Raspberry Pi kernel sources:
|
|
`https://github.com/raspberrypi/linux.git`
|
|
|
|
The current version is based on top of commit hash:
|
|
`3a33f11c48572b9dd0fecac164b3990fc9234da8`
|
|
|
|

# Build
|
|
Kernel build can be performed on Ubuntu 22.04 with aarch64 cross compilation.
|
|
To automate this process `build-kernel.sh` script has been created.
|
|
It will automatically install all needed dependencies on for kernel building
|
|
both from RPi and Ubuntu guidelines.
|
|
|
|
On top of the RPi kernel - uConsole specific patch is applied. It contains
|
|
implementation of all required drivers like video driver for uConsole screen.
|
|
|
|
To automate build process on environmend different than Ubuntu 22.04 `run.sh`
|
|
script has been created. It utilizes docker container for building the kernel
|
|
using build script.
|
|
|
|
Final results are located in `out` directory in the source tree.
|
|
|
|
|
|
# Deploy
|
|
To deploy build result use content of `out` directory and copy it over
|
|
to the right locations on SD card. More you can find in official RPi guide:

# Kernel configuration
|
|
In order to use compiled kernel8.img with CM4 in uConsole, we have to setup
|
|
a `config.txt` configuration file. It contains various options which will be
|
|
passed to runtime kernel for proper uConsole specific drivers initialization.
