• Create a new folder in a known existing folder via mkdir toolchain
  
• Download the toolchain from linaro for the appropriate architecture and version via e.g. wget http://releases.linaro.org/components/toolchain/binaries/latest-7/arm-linux-gnueabihf/gcc-linaro-7.5.0-2019.12-x86_64_arm-linux-gnueabihf.tar.xz
• Decompress the tar-archiv via tar -xvf gcc-linaro-7.5.0-2019.12-x86_64_arm-linux-gnueabihf.tar.xz
• Set the CROSS_COMPILE variable to cross-compile the source code via export CROSS_COMPILE=$PWD/gcc-linaro-7.5.0-2019.12-x86_64_arm-linux-gnueabihf-arm-linux-gnueabihf/bin/arm-linux-gnueabihf-

• Create a new folder in a known existing folder via mkdir software
• Change into the new folder via cd software
• Clone the git repository via git clone https://github.com/altera-opensource/linux-sodfpgasocfpga.git
• Change into the new folder via cd linux-socfpga
• Look into the tags inside the repository via git tag -l rel*
• Select one of the tags and check it out via git checkout rel_socfpga-<selection>4.14.130-ltsi_21.10.01_pr
• Load the default configuration for the kernel via make ARCH=arm socfpga_defconfig
• Install packages for kernel configuration via sudo apt-get install libncurses5-dev
• Open the kernel configuration dialogue via make ARCH=arm menuconfig
• Configure the kernel in this window:
  
  • General Setup → Disable Automatically append version information to the version string
  • Enable the block layer → Support for large (2TB+) block devices and files
• Generate the kernel via make ARCH=arm LOCALVERSION= zImageIf the previous command does not work, try to use this one: make ARCH=arm CROSS-COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabihf LOCALVERSION= zImage
• After compilation, which can last a longer time, the kernel should be in folder arch/arm/boot
