Building the Kernel and Distribution

First, obtain the sources, make sure they are up to date, and grab the toolchain.

1. Launch the kernel configuration process
   
   $ make menuconfig
   
   The first time you run this it may take some time to build the kernel configuration tools etc.
    
2. Choose "Target Platform Selection", and make the following selections:
   
    

   (Insight/mbvanilla_net)	Vendor/Product
   (uClibc)	LibC version
   [*]	Default all settings

   
   Select Exit, Exit, Yes, then press enter as required for the defaults
   
   $ make dep
   
   This may take some time.  It should not report any errors.
    

3. Now just type 'make'.  It will go through and build the C libraries (uClibs), user applications, and roll it all into a file images/image.elf, and image/image.bin. 
    

Now you are ready to build the hardware target and download the kernel image.
