Funtoo on the Nvidia TK1

Getting the Sources

Use the tools issued by Nvidia to handle kernel sources via git. Checkout the desired kernel version, probably the newest, update the environment variables and great a branch named by the kernel version.

root # wget http://developer.nvidia.com/embedded/dlc/l4t-Jetson-TK1-Driver-Package-R21-5 -O $TOOLS/l4t-Jetson-TK1-Driver-Package-R21-5
root # cd $TOOLS
root # tar jxf l4t-Jetson-TK1-Driver-Package-R21-5
root # rm l4t-Jetson-TK1-Driver-Package-R21-5
root # cd Linux_for_Tegra
root # ./source_sync.sh  #skip tag selection both times
root # cd sources/kernel_source
root # git ls-remote
root # git checkout tegra-l4t-r24.2.1
root # ln -s $PWD $XC_KERNEL_SRC
root # . xcompile_variables.sh
root # git checkout -b `get_kernel_version`

Kernel Building

You need a working kernel config. You can get one from a running TK1 and get it into your $XC_KERNEL_SRC directory.

root # zcat /proc/config.gz > my_TK1_config
root # scp my_TK1_config <xc_user>@<xc_host>:~
root # cp ~/my_TK1_config $CONFIGS/`get_kernel_version`.kconf

Or you can get it from the kernel headers.

root # cd $TOOLS/Linux_for_Tegra/kernel
root # tar xvf kernel_headers.tbz2
root # cp linux-headers-<kernel_version>/.config $CONFIGS/`get_kernel_version`.kconf

Make the Kernel

root # . xcompile_variables.sh
root # cd $XC_KERNEL_SRC
root # cp $XC_KERNEL_OLDCONFIG .config
root # ARCH=$ARCH CROSS_COMPILE=$CROSSDEV_TARGET- make oldconfig
root # ARCH=$ARCH CROSS_COMPILE=$CROSSDEV_TARGET- make zImage modules dtbs
