## How to build my own image or kernel?
|
|
|
|
Supported build environments:
|
|
|
|
- [Ubuntu Xenial 16.04 x64](http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/xenial-updates/main/installer-amd64/current/images/netboot/mini.iso) guest inside a [VirtualBox](https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads) or other virtualization software,
|
|
- [Ubuntu Xenial 16.04 x64](http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/xenial-updates/main/installer-amd64/current/images/netboot/mini.iso) guest managed by [Vagrant](https://www.vagrantup.com/). This uses Virtualbox (as above) but does so in an easily repeatable way. Please check the [Armbian with Vagrant README](https://github.com/igorpecovnik/lib/blob/master/README-Vagrant.md) for a quick start HOWTO,
|
|
- [Ubuntu Xenial 16.04 x64](http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/xenial-updates/main/installer-amd64/current/images/netboot/mini.iso) inside a [Docker](https://www.docker.com/), [systemd-nspawn](https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/systemd-nspawn.html) or other container environment [(example)](https://github.com/igorpecovnik/lib/pull/255#issuecomment-205045273). Building full OS images inside containers may not work, so this option is mostly for the kernel compilation,
|
|
- [Ubuntu Xenial 16.04 x64](http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/xenial-updates/main/installer-amd64/current/images/netboot/mini.iso) running natively on a dedicated PC or a server (**not** recommended unless you build kernel only, for full OS images always use virtualization as outlined above),
|
|
- **20GB disk space** or more and **2GB RAM** or more available for the VM, container or native OS,
|
|
- superuser rights (configured `sudo` or root access).
|
|
|
|
**Execution**
|
|
|
|
apt-get -y install git
|
|
git clone https://github.com/igorpecovnik/lib --depth 1
|
|
cp lib/compile.sh .
|
|
./compile.sh
|
|
|
|
You will be prompted with a selection menu for a build option, a board name, a kernel branch and an OS release. Please check the documentation for [advanced options](https://docs.armbian.com/Developer-Guide_Build-Options/) and [additional customization](https://docs.armbian.com/Developer-Guide_User-Configurations/).
|
|
|
|
Build process uses caching for the compilation and the debootstrap process, so consecutive runs with similar settings will be much faster.
|
|
|
|
## How to change a kernel configuration?
|
|
|
|
Edit `compile.sh` and set
|
|
|
|
KERNEL_CONFIGURE="yes"
|
|
|
|
or pass this option as a command line parameter like
|
|
|
|
./compile.sh KERNEL_CONFIGURE=yes
|
|
|
|
to display the kernel configuration menu during the compilation process
