Building Linux Kernel for ARM Platform

Step1 : Building linux kernel requires configuration of the kernel,that can be  done any of the following methods:

             make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux- config     --->  command line based
             make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux- menuconfig ---> curses based
             make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux- xconfig   ---->  gtk based configuration

Step2 : Once the configuration is done a .config file will be created which has all the configurations provided,you can manually open the file and change the options.

           make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabi- uImage


The generated file is present in the arch/arm/boot folder
