help
This option will re-use the same kernel sources as the one
that have been used for the kernel headers of the
cross-compiling toolchain. Having the same version for the
kernel running on the system and for the kernel headers is
not a requirement, but using the same version allows to
download only one tarball of the kernel sources.
config BR2_LINUX_KERNEL_CUSTOM_VERSION
bool "Custom version"
help
This option allows to use a specific 2.6.x or 2.6.x.y
official versions, as available on kernel.org
config BR2_LINUX_KERNEL_CUSTOM_TARBALL
bool "Custom tarball"
help
This option allows to specify the http or ftp location of a
specific kernel source tarball
config BR2_LINUX_KERNEL_CUSTOM_GIT
bool "Custom Git tree"
help
This option allows Buildroot to get the Linux kernel source
code from a Git repository.

A space-separated list of patches to apply to the

path, or a directory. In the case of a directory, all files
matching linux-*.patch in the directory will be applied.

For certain cases a board-specific target image must be
used. For example, on powerPC where the OpenFirmware
description is attached in a board-specific kernel image
target like 'cuImage.mpc8379_rdb'.
Select this option and specify the make target in "Kernel
image target name".

Select this option to have the kernel image installed to
/boot in the target root filesystem, as is typically done on
x86/x86_64 systems.
