On my PC, I can download Linux from kernel.org, make menuconfig, build it and its modules, adjust grub/lilo config, then use my new kernel. Can I do something similar directly on my SBC running Armbian, or do I need to cross compile a whole image from my PC? (I've never built Armbian images myself so I might be wrong as to how that works).

[Discord] <Werner> Of course you can do the same on your SBC. Though compile will take most likely quite long and mainline sources without armbian patches may not even boot on your board, whatever it might be
<DC-IRC>
[Discord] <igorpec> LunaLovegood: boot process is different, this is embedded world. There is no grub nor lilo ... with armbian build FW you build armbian kernel deb (and dtb) package and install it with dpkg -i ... if you go manual way, you need to copy files to correct location by hand

Hi, Thanks. I started reading on it and I think just going the normal way (./compile.sh kernel-config) should be easiest for me. (being able to modify the kernel config is what I wanted in the first place)

Googling for it led me nowhere, but by actually reading the documentation I found what I wanted right away.
