In the steps, the source code of Raspberry Pi in GitHub (linux and firmware) are downloaded to a host PC running Ubuntu, then copy to Raspberry Pi.
- - In Host PC side -
Because the source code of Raspberry Pi is too large, and too long time to download, it will be done in another host pc.
- Create git directory to hold the files.
$ mkdir git
$ cd git
- git clone the source code.
$ git clone https://github.com/raspberrypi/linux
$ git clone https://github.com/raspberrypi/firmware
It take long time to finish.
- - In Host PC side -, after downloaded:
- Compress and copy to Pi, under /home/pi.
$ tar -cvf linux.tar.gz --exclude .git linux
$ scp linux.tar.gz pi@raspberrypi:/home/pi
- - In Pi side -, switch to /home/pi directory
$ tar -xvf linux.tar.gz
$ cd linux
$ zcat /proc/config.gz > .config
$ make oldconfig
$ make modules_prepare
- - In host PC side -, host PC: copy Module.symvers to pi's linux directory.
$ scp firmware/extra/Module.symvers pi@raspberrypi:/home/pi/linux
- - In Pi side -, move linux directory to /usr/src/kernels/$(uname -r)
$ sudo mkdir /usr/src/kernels
$ cd ~
$ sudo mv linux /usr/src/kernels/$(uname -r)
$ cd /lib/modules/$(uname -r)
make links for build and source
$ sudo ln -s /usr/src/kernels/$(uname -r) build
$ sudo ln -s /usr/src/kernels/$(uname -r) source
