# Kernel for Raspberry Pi 32 bits (in sync with official bullseye repo)
This repository holds a pre-built 32 bits Linux bits kernel image for the Raspberry Pi, compiled from https://github.com/raspberrypi/linux, for usage by the [gokrazy](https://github.com/gokrazy/gokrazy) project.
To use the files in this repository, adjust the `-kernel_package`
of `gokr-packer`:
```
GOARCH=arm gokr-packer \
-kernel_package=github.com/oliverpool/kernel-rpi-os-32/dist \
github.com/gokrazy/hello
```
## Manual compilation
```
go run cmd/compile/main.go
```
It will compile the kernel located in `linux-sources` and copy the resulting files in the `dist` folder.
It uses default kernel config (`make bcmrpi_defconfig`), as recommended by the [official documentation](https://www.raspberrypi.com/documentation/computers/linux_kernel.html#cross-compiling-the-kernel), with the addition of the SquashFS module (`CONFIG_SQUASHFS`, which is required for gokrazy).
## Update check
```
go run cmd/check-update/main.go
```
It will compare the kernel version distributed on https://archive.raspberrypi.org/debian/ with the `linux-sources` submodule current HEAD.
## Licenses
- The `vmlinuz` and `*.dtb` files are built from [Linux kernel sources](https://github.com/raspberrypi/linux), released under the GPL (see `linux-sources/COPYING`)
