This page is focused just on building a kernel. For the related required components, see Linux on Orange Pi 4.

Prerequisite: U-Boot on Orange Pi 4

Next steps: rootfs on Orange Pi 4

TODO: THIS!

In order to build a Linux kernel you'll need:

TODO: Git clone

TODO: Switch to a Mainline Linux. Right now we're using a BSP Linux kernel which already supports Orange Pi 4.

This is needed only if you're building on a different architecture, e.g. on an x86_64 computer.

TODO: Linaro + instructions?

CROSS_COMPILE=/path/to/toolchain/bin/aarch64-linux-gnu-

TODO: compilation

Generate .config file

cd linux
make ARCH=arm64 CROSS_COMPILE=$CROSS_COMPILE rk3399_linux_defconfig

Compile the kernel

CORES=4 # number of CPU cores
make ARCH=arm64 CROSS_COMPILE=$CROSS_COMPILE -j${CORES} rk3399-orangepi.img

TODO: Modules? Img to flash? boot.img

dd if=boot.img of=sdb seek=32768

Mainline Linux kernel [1]
- Github mirror [2]
Rockchip Kernel [3]
Xunlong BSP kernel [4]
- instructions for older Orange Pis [5]
- compilation script [6]
Armbian kernel patches [7]
