Build Kernel 3.8.13-bone79

[William]

Hello,

I want to build kernel 3.8 for my BeagleBone Black and I don’t know what should I do next.
After a google search I have done next steps:

• installed cross compiler on Ubuntu 16.04:
  sudo apt-get install gcc-arm-linux-gnueabi

• download U-Boot, make and install the U-Boot tools:
  wget ftp://ftp.denx.de/pub/u-boot/u-boot-latest.tar.bz2

tar -xjf u-boot-latest.tar.bz2
cd into u-boot directory
make sandbox_defconfig tools-only
sudo install tools/mkimage /usr/local/bin

• get the the source code from:
  git clone https://github.com/RobertCNelson/linux-stable-rcn-ee.

After some modifications, I want to compile the kernel and to port the binaries to my BBB.

Dragos:
Here[1] are instructions I give my students for building the kernel. It uses a script from Robert Nelson that does all the work of downloading the correct cross compiler, kernel source, etc.

I further discuss the process the BeagleBone Cookbook,[2]
