Unpack/Repack Android TV Kernel #403

Open Billben0012 opened 3 years ago

Hi everyone,

I would like to make some modifications in the Kernel of an Android TV. I need to access to some .c and .h files (More specifically to USB HID Files). I found out that the Kernel can be found in zImage file. (Am I right ?) But I searched on the internet on how to unpack the zImage file, but I'm still blocked. Would you please let me know how to unpack it ? If my way of thinking is wrong would you please assist me how to do that. Need your help. Waiting you reply.

You can't modify a prebuilt kernel, the zImage file in this case. You need to download, edit and compile your custom kernel from source.
