Compiling on the Raspberry PI is both extremely slow and an exercise in pain.  Thankfully there are ways to cross compile the software using a standard desktop computer with the Raspberry PI as the target.

Note: These instructions will use the 64bit Kernel for the Raspberry PI 3.
 +
 
 +
'''Kernel versions'''
 +
*Replace the 4.19 with the specific version of the Linux kernel you want in the git clone command below.
 +
 
 +
You will need to already have a Debian build machine setup to do this.
 +
 
 +
=== Configure Debian Build Machine ===
 +
*Create build directory
 +
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
 +
mkdir ~/Pi3-Kernel && cd ~/Pi3-Kernel
 +
</syntaxhighlight>
 +
 
 +
*Clone the Raspbverry Pi repository and pre-built binaries (removing the pre-built 32bit Kernel)
 +
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
 +
git clone --depth=1 -b rpi-4.19.y https://github.com/raspberrypi/linux.git
 +
svn export https://github.com/raspberrypi/firmware/trunk/boot
 +
rm boot/kernel*
 +
rm boot/*.dtb
 +
rm boot/overlays/*.dtbo
 +
</syntaxhighlight>
 +
 
 +
*Load stock Raspbery Pi 3 configuration
 +
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
 +
cd linux
 +
make ARCH=arm64 CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-linux-gnu- bcmrpi3_defconfig
 +
</syntaxhighlight>
 +
 
 +
*Update config using nconfig (if required.  Skip if using stock config)
 +
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
 +
make ARCH=arm64 CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-linux-gnu- nconfig
 +
</syntaxhighlight>
 +
 
 +
*Build Kernel with optimizations for the Pi 3 Arm Cortex A53 CPU
 +
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
 +
ARCH=arm64 CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-linux-gnu- make -j4 \
 +
    CXXFLAGS="-march=armv8-a+crypto+crc -mtune=cortex-a53" \
 +
    CFLAGS="-march=armv8-a+crypto+crc -mtune=cortex-a53" \

 +
cp arch/arm64/boot/dts/overlays/*.dtbo ../boot/overlays/
 +
cp arch/arm64/boot/dts/broadcom/*.dtb ../boot/
 +
cd ..
 +
</syntaxhighlight>
 +
 
 +
*Copy new Kernel from build machine and cleanup build folder.
 +
Note: we are copying the files to a network share mounted under /mnt/pi3dev
 +
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
 +
sudo cp *.deb /mnt/pi3dev/Pi3-Kernel/
 +
sudo cp -r boot /mnt/pi3dev/Pi3-Kernel/
 +
sudo rm ~/Pi3-Kernel/linux*
 +
sudo rm -r ~/Pi3-Kernel/boot
 +
</syntaxhighlight>
 +
 
 +
=== Update Raspberry Pi 3 ===
 +
==== Startup configuration ====
 +
*Create cmdline.txt and config.txt to boot (as required).  Keep a copy in home directory for now
 +
<syntaxhighlight lang="text">
 +
echo 'dwc_otg.lpm_enable=0 console=tty1 root=/dev/mmcblk0p2 rootfstype=ext4 elevator=deadline fsck.repair=yes rootwait net.ifnames=0' > ~/cmdline.txt
 +
echo $'kernel=kernel8.img\ngpu_mem=16\narm_64bit=1' > ~/config.txt
 +
</syntaxhighlight>
 +
 
 +
==== Kernel installation ====
 +
*Remove old Kernel and install the one we compiled from our network share (you'll need to mount it)
 +
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
 +
sudo cp /mnt/pi3dev/Pi3-Kernel/*.deb /home/pi/
 +
cd ~/
 +
mkdir temp && cd temp
 +
sudo apt purge linux-headers-* linux-image-*
 +
cd .. && rm -r temp

 +
'''Kernel versions'''
 +
*Replace the 4.19 with the specific version of the Linux kernel you want in the git clone command below.
 +
*Support for hardware with more than 3GB of RAM is only available in 4.19 and above.
 +
**A workaround is to add total_mem=3072 to config text when using other Kernel version with the 4GB Pi 4.
 +
*FKMS 3D driver fixes are only available in version 4.19 of the Kernel
 +
**3D acceleration does not work and it falls back to software emulation
 +

You will need to already have a Debian build machine setup to do this.
