+=== Building or modifying the Linux Kernel ===
+The Gateworks Newport BSP creates an environment for building the Linux kernel. Here are some additional instructions for common actions:
+ * Modify Kernel configuration (enabling modules etc):
+{{{#!bash
+cd linux
+make newport_defconfig # start with the Newport kernel configuration
+make menuconfig # modify as desired
+make # build Image and modules
+}}}
+ * Build kernel tarball:
+{{{#!bash
+cd linux
+make # build Image and modules
+mkdir -p install/boot # create install and install/boot directories
+cp arch/arm64/boot/Image install/boot # copy kernel Image
+make INSTALL_MOD_PATH=install modules_install # install modules
+tar -cvJf /tftpboot/newport/linux-newport.tar.xz --numeric-owner -C install . # create tarball
+}}}
+  - You can install this kernel on a running system via {{{cd /; tar xvf inux-newport.tar.xz}}}
