Nike Kernel Build

Compiling your own kernel for the Nike

First of all, you can find a log of the git tree here Here you have some instructions (thanks to kvstrein)

1. Create working dir:

   mkdir /android-kernel

2. Go to the dir:

   cd /android-kernel

3. Clone the Linuxtogo GIT:

   git clone git://git.linuxtogo.org/home/groups/mobile-linux/kernel.git

4. Go into newly created dir:

   cd /android-kernel/kernel

5. Create a new branch, call it htc-vogue and link it to the official htc-vogue development branch:

   git checkout -b htc-vogue origin/htc-vogue

6. Descend into the "main" android dir:

   cd /android-kernel

7. Get toolchain:

   http://www.codesourcery.com/sgpp/lite/arm/portal/package3696/public/arm-none-linux-gnueabi/arm-2008q3-72-arm-none-linux-gnueabi-i686-pc-linux-gnu.tar.bz2

8. Unpack the toolchain:

   tar -xjf arm-2008q3-72-arm-none-linux-gnueabi-i686-pc-linux-gnu.tar.bz2

9. Ascend again into the 'kernel' directory:

   cd /android-kernel/kernel

10. Make the kernel (by now we use either the polaris or vogue defconfig):

    make ARCH=arm vogue_defconfig

11. Export path so the newly downloaded toolchain will be used instead of your default compiler (which would compile for your computer instead of your phone):

    export PATH=~/android-kernel/arm-2008q3/bin:$PATH

    1. If you want this to be permanent, type:

       cd ; export PATH=~/android-kernel/arm-2008q3/bin:$PATH >> .bashrc

    Now make whatever changes you want to the code. Everything for the htc nike is located at

    kernel/arch/arm/mach-msm/board-htcnike-*

12. Make the zImage-file:

    make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-none-linux-gnueabi-

    1. People with a multi-core processor can use the -j argument, in this example: dual-core. (syntax: make -j <number of cores / processors>):

       make -j 2 ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-none-linux-gnueabi-
