Hi, Debian provides a kernel for Raspberry Pi Zero (W) and 1, but that targets the armel architecture. I want to compile a/the Debian kernel that does use the HW capabilities of the RPi 0/1, similarly to how raspbian.org recompiles the Debian packages. Except AFAIK the Debian kernel. I know that Debian won't change their RPi kernel for armel, but this is for private use. But I don't know what the best way to go about that is. I found the following link wrt building a cross compiler https://solarianprogrammer.com/2018/05/06/building-gcc-cross-compiler-raspberry-pi/ which in turn references https://preshing.com/20141119/how-to-build-a-gcc-cross-compiler/ and that does look promising. But before diving full into it, I'd like to know whether this is the proper approach or not. And if someone has good/better links, I'd appreciate it if you'd share them :-) While I (technically) could setup a system to compile natively, I want to use cross compilation (on amd64 PC). I think it would otherwise take days. But knowing how to compile natively would be nice too. I do know how to compile Debian's kernels, both natively and cross building. Cheers, Diederik
