    To build Linux for K2H EVM, the following pre-requisites should be met,

    1. PC with Ubuntu OS 18.04 LTS installed (The SDK can also be installed in CentOS).
    2. Download and Install " PROCESSOR-SDK-LINUX-K2E — Linux Processor SDK for K2H / K2K " from https://www.ti.com/tool/download/PROCESSOR-SDK-LINUX-K2HK (Make sure SDK is installed in "$HOME" directory)

    Steps:

    1. Install all the dependency packages (Open Linux bash terminal and give the following commands).
      sudo apt-get install diffstat texi2html texinfo subversion chrpath build-essential subversion ccache sed wget cvs coreutils unzip texinfo docbook-utils gawk help2man file g++ bison flex htmldoc chrpath libxext-dev xserver-xorg-dev doxygen socat u-boot-tools git
      Also refer to this link for environment setup: https://software-dl.ti.com/processor-sdk-linux/esd/docs/06_03_00_106/linux/Overview_Building_the_SDK.html#prerequisites-one-time-setup
    2. Download the cross-compile toolchain using the below commands and place them in "$HOME" directory
      wget https://developer.arm.com/-/media/Files/downloads/gnu-a/8.3-2019.03/binrel/gcc-arm-8.3-2019.03-x86_64-arm-linux-gnueabihf.tar.xz
tar -Jxvf gcc-arm-8.3-2019.03-x86_64-arm-linux-gnueabihf.tar.xz -C $HOME
wget https://developer.arm.com/-/media/Files/downloads/gnu-a/8.3-2019.03/binrel/gcc-arm-8.3-2019.03-x86_64-aarch64-linux-gnu.tar.xz
tar -Jxvf gcc-arm-8.3-2019.03-x86_64-aarch64-linux-gnu.tar.xz -C $HOME
    3. Add the toolchain path to the "$PATH" variable
      export PATH=$HOME/gcc-arm-8.3-2019.03-x86_64-arm-linux-gnueabihf/bin:$PATH
export PATH=$HOME/gcc-arm-8.3-2019.03-x86_64-aarch64-linux-gnu/bin:$PATH
    4. Goto "{SDK_FOLDER}/board-support/linux-{VERSION}/" folder and below commands will remove the previous builds,
      make clean distclean ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabihf-

ls arch/arm/configs/ | grep k2hk

make tisdk_k2hk-evm_defconfig ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabihf-

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

ls -al ./arch/arm/boot/dts/keystone-k2hk-evm.dtb
ls -al ./arch/arm/boot/zImage
    5. After sucessful compilation "zImage" will be present in the path "arch/arm/boot/zimage"  and "keystone-k2hk-evm.dtb" will be present in "arch/arm/boot/dts/keystone-k2hk-evm.dtb"
    6.  The following video demonstrates the steps,
