Jalodi: Here[1] are instructions I've used with my class. They are written for the 3.8 kernel, but if you checkout the right branch you can get newer kernels.
The script *may_install_kernel.sh* can be found in my course repo[2]. It's based on Robert Nelson's install_kernel.sh. My approach is to use fuse to mount the Bone's files on the host where the kernel was compiled, and then copy the needed files as if they are local files. --Mark [1] http://elinux.org/EBC_Installing_Kernel_Source [2] https://github.com/MarkAYoder/BeagleBoard-exercises/tree/master/kernel On Tuesday, July 7, 2015 at 2:19:37 PM UTC-4, jalod...@gmail.com wrote: > > > I have a new BeagleBone Black (rev C) and got it booting from SD with the > Debian 4GB SD image from 2015-03-01. > > My goal is to cross compile a kernel on my Linux PC and move the necessary > files to the Debian SD card. > > So....
