Scripts to help build the 4.4.38 kernel and modules onboard the Jetson TX2 (L4T 28.2.1, JetPack 3.2.1). For previous versions, visit the 'tags' section.

<em><strong>Note:</strong> The kernel source version must match the version of firmware flashed on the Jetson. For example, the source for the 4.4.38 kernel here is matched with L4T 28.2. This kernel compiled using this source tree will not work with newer versions or older versions of L4T, only 28.2.</em>

As of this writing, the "official" way to build the Jetson TX2 kernel is to use a cross compiler on a Linux PC. This is an alternative which builds the kernel onboard the Jetson itself. These scripts will download the kernel source to the Jetson TX2, and then compile the kernel and selected modules. The newly compiled kernel can then be installed. The kernel sources and build objects consume ~3GB.

These scripts are for building the kernel for the 64-bit L4T 28.2 (Ubuntu 16.04 based) operating system on the NVIDIA Jetson TX2. The scripts should be run directly after flashing the Jetson with L4T 28.2 from a host PC. There are five scripts:

<strong>getKernelSources.sh</strong>

Downloads the kernel sources for L4T 28.2 from the NVIDIA website, decompresses them and opens a graphical editor on the .config file.

<strong>getKernelSourcesNoGUI.sh</strong>

Downloads the kernel sources for L4T 28.2 from the NVIDIA website and decompresses them. This is useful when working through SSH, have a preference to edit the .config through a text editor or some other manner (e.g. nconfig), or have a predefined .config file you would like to substitute.
