MerrukTechnology Kernel Version : 2.5
For Samsung GT-S5360 : Galaxy Y Young
Introduction
-
This kernel source code repository has included tools to simplify building the kernel, create/install the environment and, eventually, compress the kernel image
(zImage, RamDisk)after you make your modifications in theBootdirectory. -
When you execute the scripts you will see the verbose output for better understanding the processes.
This can be done in three steps:
- * 1. Compiling
- Build the kernel. There are 4 parameters to customize your build.
- * 2. Preparing the environment
- Set up the environment and decompress the RamDisk.
- * 3. Kernel compression
- Compress the kernel image with modifications in the boot directory or with default Merruk or Samsung files.
Compiling
For compiling Merruk Technology kernel open the command prompt (CONSOLE) and see this :
| Description | Meaning | Command | Parameter |
|---|---|---|---|
| New Compile/Update Existing Kernel | First Compile or Only Modded Codes | Kernel_Make | -MT |
| Specific 'CONFIG_FILE' Compile | Must be in /arch/arm/configs/ | Kernel_Make | -CF totoro_brcm21553_05_defconfig |
| Clean Build (0 files already built) | Like first time, clean files and build | Kernel_Make | -CL |
| Specify number of prosessors | Script guesses that automatically | Kernel_Make | -CPU [Number of cores] (all cores by default) |
| Make the Totoro defconfig 05 | menuconfig use the actual totoro | Kernel_Make | MENU |
Preparing the environment
On first use of the Tools directory you need to set up the environment :
Usage:
cd ./Tools
./Install.sh [Parameter]
Parameters:
- merruk
- Use Merruk Technology RamDisk
- stock
- Use Samsung RamDisk
Kernel compression
You can simply call this tool after you made changes in the 'Boot' directory (RamFS) :
Usage:
cd ./Tools
./Compress.sh [Parameter]
Parameters:
- merruk
- Use Merruk Technology kernel
- stock
- Use Samsung kernel
Output files
Your compressed kernel will be built as:
| PDA.[parameter].tar | Odin file, search for a compatible version |
| Kernel.[parameter].Boot.img | Raw file, flash with 'dd' command |
