Build Kernel

Supported Architectures: x86_64 riscv64

x86_64 Supported Toolchains:

3.2.0 Xuantie-900 Linux 6.6.0 v3.2.0
14 Mainline RISC-V GCC 14 Cross Compiler (default)

riscv64 Supported Toolchains:

rv Mainline GCC Compiler

Select the compiler to use via the TOOLCHAIN_VERSION variable

Usage

git clone https://github.com/revyos/xuantie-kernel-docker
cd xuantie-kernel-docker
docker build --build-arg TOOLCHAIN_VERSION=14 -t xuantie900:linux14 .
docker run -it --rm -v LOCAL_PATH:/output xuantie900:linux14 bash
./mkkernel_x64.sh # use mkkernel_xuantie.sh or mkkernel_riscv64.sh depend on your TOOLCHAIN_VERSION

The built kernel deb packages will be copied to the directory specified by LOCAL_PATH, and then you can install them using dpkg.

The compilation process will produce several results:

linux-headers.deb (Install when compiling kernel modules or for kernel development)
linux-image-dbg.deb (Debug symbols, install when debugging the kernel)
linux-image.deb (Kernel, must install)
linux-libc-dev.deb (libc interface, generally not installed, use the generic version)

Notes

To change the version to be compiled, you can freely modify it after entering the docker environment (input bash)
The linux-header package cross-compiled in the x86_64 environment may contain x86_64 header files. If you need to develop the kernel or use DKMS modules such as zfs, please compile with TOOLCHAIN_VERSION=rv in the RISC-V environment.
