The tutorial "Build the Linux kernel for ARM" is the second in the series to introduce newcomers to Linux kernel development. It aims to teach one between many ways in which a kernel developer can compile and boot-test Linux for the ARM64 target architecture. It was used in the "Free Software Development" course in the first semester of 2024 at IME-USP [1].

Considering that this series has not received revisions since their posting, update and revise this first post in advance for the new "Free Software Development" offering for this first semester of 2025.

This revision/update mainly adds more explicative sections and streamlines the commands to be run to make the tutorial more fluid and newcomer-friendly. The content and steps of the tutorial generally remain the same.

NOTE: Exact building dependencies (bison, flex, etc.) are missing.
