Configuring the Kernel#

To ensure that the driver software works on every platform, the kernel can be compiled with mandatory components/options to enable various features of the SiWx91x RCP Driver :

• Enabling the SDIO Stack

• Enabling Wireless Extension Tools

• Enabling the Bluetooth Stack

The steps used for Kernel Compilation are as follows. Super user permissions are needed to make these changes:

1. Navigate to the kernel source folder.

2. Execute the "make" command.

3. Execute the "make modules" command.

4. Execute the "make modules_install" command.

5. Execute the "make install" command. This ensures that the customized kernel is installed, and the boot loader is updated appropriately.

6. Reboot the system to boot up with the customized kernel.
