Building Kernel

Clone the kernel source git tree.

You should get a copy of gcc arm cross compiler. My copy is obtained by Buildroot and the gcc version is 4.3.6. The Android build system and/or the Android NDK should also contain a copy of it, however it has not been tested so successful compilation is not assured.

You should make sure the gcc cross compiler tools (prefixed arm-linux-) are located in the PATH environment variable, or you should modify the PATH variable to include the location.

To build, execute make uImage modules and copy the relevant output files to the Android build device directory (<root>/device/ipaq214android/ipaq214/kernel/...). By [Building Android] the kernel files will also be copied to output.
