[FAQ] 66AK2E05: How to build Linux for K2E ? from the package "PROCESSOR-SDK-LINUX-K2E"

Pre-requisite 

1. Linux-PC with Ubuntu 18.04 LTS
2. Download " PROCESSOR-SDK-LINUX-K2E — Linux Processor SDK for K2E " from https://www.ti.com/tool/PROCESSOR-SDK-K2E

Steps:

1. Go to the directory of linux from the processor sdk 6.3 package
================================================================
cd ~/ti-processor-sdk-linux-k2e-evm-06.03.00.106/board-support/linux-4.19.94+gitAUTOINC+be5389fd85-gbe5389fd85

2. Execute dist-clean command

==========================

make clean distclean ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabihf-

3. find defconfig for k2e board:
=============================

------
Note: The def-config file should match your evm.
That's why we used "ls arch/arm/configs/ | grep k2e" to check whether the "tisdk_k2e-evm_defconfig" matches with the one we are using in the next command
------

ls arch/arm/configs/ | grep k2e

make tisdk_k2e-evm_defconfig ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabihf-

4. Building Linux & dtbs
=====================

------------
Note: The below command will build the linux image ( zImage ) and the "dtb".  
------------

make -j8 zImage dtbs ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabihf-

----------------------

5. Check the timestamp to verify the build was done successfully.
----------------------

ls -al ./arch/arm/boot/dts/keystone-k2e-evm.dtb
ls -al ./arch/arm/boot/zImage
