This section shows basic steps how to compile a custom Linux kernel.

== Building images ==

=== Set toolchain ===
Export [[i.MX53_SODIMM_PC_Toolchain|toolchain variables]] for every related terminal session.

=== Set shell variables ===
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
LK_VERSION=3.12.13
#SW_VERSION=20140817
#SW_VERSION=20140909
#SW_VERSION=20150308
SW_VERSION=20151129
LK_VNAME=${LK_VERSION%[-.]*}
</syntaxhighlight>

=== Download and extract source code ===
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
mkdir -pv ~/workdir/vmx53/kernel/
cd ~/workdir/vmx53/kernel
wget https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v3.x/linux-${LK_VERSION}.tar.xz
tar -xvJf linux-${LK_VERSION}.tar.xz
mv linux-${LK_VERSION} linux-${LK_VNAME}.orig
cp -rv linux-${LK_VNAME}.orig linux-${LK_VNAME}.work
</syntaxhighlight>

=== Download and apply Voipac patches ===
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
cd ~/workdir/vmx53/kernel/
wget http://downloads.voipac.com/files/i.MX53_SODIMM_PC-Development_kit/module/software/linux/sources/linux-${LK_VERSION}_vmx53_${SW_VERSION}.patch
wget http://downloads.voipac.com/files/i.MX53_SODIMM_PC-Development_kit/module/software/linux/sources/linux-${LK_VERSION}_vmx53_${SW_VERSION}.cfg
cd ~/workdir/vmx53/kernel/linux-${LK_VNAME}.work
patch -p1 < ../linux-${LK_VERSION}_vmx53_${SW_VERSION}.patch
cp ../linux-${LK_VERSION}_vmx53_${SW_VERSION}.cfg .config
</syntaxhighlight>

=== Compile ===
Output files are called arch/arm/boot/zImage and arch/arm/boot/dts/imx53-vmx53-*.dtb .:
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
cd ~/workdir/vmx53/kernel/linux-${LK_VNAME}.work
#make ARCH=arm menuconfig
make -j4 zImage modules imx53-vmx53-557.dtb imx53-vmx53-668.dtb imx53-vmx53-779.dtb
#sudo make ARCH=arm INSTALL_MOD_PATH=/srv/nfs/vmx53-rootfs modules_install
</syntaxhighlight>

==== Compile custom DTB file ====
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
cd ~/workdir/vmx53/kernel/linux-${LK_VNAME}.work
#Edit arch/arm/boot/dts/imx53-vmx53-779.dts
#Save
make -j4 imx53-vmx53-779.dtb
