7.2.9. Building Linux*

The following commands can be used to obtain the Linux* source code and build Linux*:
cd $TOP_FOLDER
rm -rf linux-socfpga
git clone https://github.com/altera-opensource/linux-socfpga
cd linux-socfpga
# checkout the branch used for this document, comment out to use default
# git checkout -b test -t origin/socfpga-5.4.114-lts
# configure the RSU driver to be built into the kernel
sed -i 's/.*CONFIG_INTEL_STRATIX10_RSU=.*/CONFIG_INTEL_STRATIX10_RSU=y/g' \
arch/arm64/configs/defconfig
make clean && make mrproper
make defconfig
make -j 24 Image dtbs
cd ..
After completing the above steps, the following files are created in the $TOP_FOLDER/linux-socfpga :
  • arch/arm64/boot/Image — kernel image
  • arch/arm64/boot/dts/altera/socfpga_stratix10_socdk.dtb— kernel device tree
Note: The Intel® SoC FPGA Linux* releases on GitHub have a retention policy described at Linux* Git Guidelines. At some point, the current Linux* branch is removed and the above tag does not work anymore. In such an event, you can move to the latest release of all the components, as this should work.
