Kernel build script nvbuild.sh with output dir option not working

Hi,

I tried to build the kernel with the -o option for build output directory in the following way:

./nvbuild.sh -o kernel/kernel-4.9/build_out/

However there is nothing in the build_out dir and though compilation went through, towards end I got this error:

IHEX2FW firmware/emi62/midi.fw
IHEX2FW firmware/emi26/bitstream.fw
IHEX2FW firmware/emi62/bitstream.fw
Error: Missing kernel image kernel/kernel-4.9/build_out//arch/arm64/boot/Image

So the -o option does not work as expected. I corrected it by running ./nvbuild.sh again without any option.

had you refer to Kernel Customization for setting-up environment for building?

I ran into the same problem trying to build the kernel with output directory option. There seems to be an error in the nvbuild.sh. I was able to get the script to work by changing line 86:
from
O_OPT=(-O “${KERNEL_OUT_DIR}”)
to
O_OPT=(O=“${KERNEL_OUT_DIR}”)
