Building a Custom Linux Kernel

Hi guys, this is a continuation of my thread over here.

 

I purchased a Raspberry Pi Zero alternative and was looking into modifying a Linux distro with an up-to-date kernel. The manufacturer provides a couple distros based on the 5.10 and 6.1 kernel, but I was looking to build a 6.5 kernel and potentially use Debian 12 or some other distro with the Panfrost Mesa3D driver for the GPU included.

 

I was able to get the DTS file from their github, but I have never built a kernel before. The u-boot source code is also available if that is needed.

 

I don't really know where to start now that I have these. I know I should probably clone the most recent Linux kernel from Torvald's repo and insert the new DTS file, and I read a little bit about building a DTB from the DTS files. Beyond that, I have no idea what to do.

 

Any tips or pointers would be appreciated
