How to build your kernel:

  Prerequisites:

    * ramdisk.img - root fs

    * mkbootimg - boot.img generator

    * The ARM cross-compiler
      You can use prebuild executable binary which is included in
      standard Android repository. Please visit to external site.
      In case of this platform, we recommend to use gcc 4.9 or later
      such as aarch64-linux-android-4.9 to avoid known issues.


  Step 1: Build Your Kernel
    $ cd kernel/msm-4.4

    $ export ARCH=arm64

    $ export PATH=<path-to-cross-compiler-executables>:$PATH
      NOTE: Please set the location of the ARM cross-compiler.

    $ export CROSS_COMPILE=<toolchain-prefix>
      NOTE: Please set the prefix of the ARM cross-compiler.
            ex) aarch64-linux-android-

    $ export KBUILD_DIFFCONFIG=maple_diffconfig
      NOTE: Please set a configuration file you want to build.

    $ make msmcortex-perf_defconfig O=./out

    $ make O=./out

    You can see arch/arm64/boot/Image-dtb if you succeed in building.


  Step 2: Assembling the boot.img
    (In the Linux Kernel directory)
    $ mkbootimg \
        --kernel out/arch/arm64/boot/Image.gz-dtb \
        --ramdisk ramdisk.img \
        --cmdline "androidboot.hardware=qcom user_debug=31 msm_rtb.filter=0x237 ehci-hcd.park=3 lpm_levels.sleep_disabled=1 sched_enable_hmp=1 sched_enable_power_aware=1 service_locator.enable=1 swiotlb=2048 androidboot.configfs=true androidboot.usbcontroller=a800000.dwc3 zram.backend=z3fold buildvariant=userdebug" \
        --base 0x00000000 \
        --kernel_offset 0x00008000 \
        --ramdisk_offset 0x01000000 \
        --tags_offset 0x00000100 \
        --pagesize 4096 \
        -o boot.img
