Build Linux Kernel for AXON (RK3588)

This guide explains how to build the Linux kernel for the AXON board (RK3588), adapted from Vicharak’s Vaaman kernel documentation.

:toolbox: System Requirements

Recommended OS:

  • Ubuntu 20.04+ or Debian 11+

Install dependencies:

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install build-essential python3 python-is-python3 libssl-dev \
git-core gcc-arm-linux-gnueabihf u-boot-tools device-tree-compiler \
gcc-aarch64-linux-gnu mtools parted pv bc bison flex gawk

Clone the Vicharak kernel repository:

git clone https://github.com/vicharak-in/rockchip-linux-kernel -b master
cd rockchip-linux-kernel

:gear: Configure Environment

Set cross compiler:

export CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-linux-gnu-

:jigsaw: Load Default Config

make O=out ARCH=arm64 rockchip_linux_defconfig

:wrench: Apply AXON Device Configuration

Replace Vaaman config with AXON config:

cat arch/arm64/configs/rk3588_axon.config >> out/.config

:building_construction: Build Kernel

make O=out ARCH=arm64 CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-linux-gnu- -j$(nproc --all)

:package: Output Files

After successful build:

  • Kernel Image:

  • out/arch/arm64/boot/Image

  • Device Tree:

  • out/arch/arm64/boot/dts/rockchip/rk3588-axon-linux.dtb

:books: Build Kernel Modules

make O=out ARCH=arm64 modules_install INSTALL_MOD_DIR=out/modules -j$(nproc --all)

Modules will be available in:

out/modules/lib/

Flash Kernel to Device

First back up the kernel with different name.
Check which kernel you are using by running below command.

uname -r

e.g. : 6.1.75-axon
Then. Go to device /boot paritition, and run below command.

sudo mv Image-6.1.75-axon bak-Image-6.1.75-axon

Now, Copy kernel and dtb files to board using ssh

scp out/arch/arm64/boot/Image <user>@<device-ip>:~/
scp out/arch/arm64/boot/dts/rockchip/rk3588-axon-linux.dtb <user>@<device-ip>:~/
scp -vr out/arch/arm64/boot/dts/rockchip/overlays <user>@<device-ip>:~/
scp out/modules_rk3588_axon.tar.gz <user>@<device-ip>:~/

sudo cp Image /boot/Image-6.1.75-axon
sudo cp rk3588-axon-linux.dtb /boot/rk3588-axon-linux-6.1.75-axon.dtb
sudo cp -r overlays /boot/overlays-$(uname -r)/

In order to apply new kernel, Restart the system.

sudo reboot

I followed the manual “How to build Vicharak Kernel for Axon,” but Xenomai is still not included in the kernel I built.

I want to integrate the Xenomai kernel with the current kernel running on my board.

Could you please guide me on how to do this?

@rajasekar_saran ,
First option that I have written down steps in detail this query

  • This Option suggest to intergrate vicharak board kernel to xenomai kernel.

Second option is to follow the guidance below that uses only the patch.
We have not tested yet, but kindly do the same as they suggested in the documentation.

It seems this has been sorted out.
