##How to build bcm21553 kernel

Basic knowledge of Linux and compiling is required to be able to build a kernel. You need Linux machine with git and toolchain installed.

##Setup build environment

In your home directory (~/) create the directories:

Open a terminal

 $ mkdir kernel
 $ cd kernel

Building a directory structure that will help keep us organized. The "mkdir" command creates a directory, and the "cd" command moves you into that directory. The directory structure is complete. Now, you are ready to clone kernel code.

##Setting up repositories

Clone the main kernel repository, run this line in your terminal window:

$ git clone https://github.com/mohammad92/kernel_bcm21553-common

##Toolchains

$ git clone https://android.googlesource.com/platform/prebuilts/gcc/linux-x86/arm/arm-eabi-4.6

##Building

Open a terminal and type:

$ cd kernel_bcm21553-common
$ ./menu

---

bcm21553 kernel menu will appear

bcm21553-common kernel build script

b- build # type b will go to build menu.

c- clean # type c will clean kernel directory.

r- restart script # type r will restart menu.

x- exit script # type x will exit menu.

---

build menu.

Choose your device

1- totoro # type 1 to compile totoro kernel.

2- cooperve # type 2 to compile cooperve kernel.

3- tassve # type 3 to compile tassve kernel.

m- main menu

x- exit script

###zImage will be coppied to ~/kernel directory if kernel successfully built.
