If the over-whelming desire strikes you to replicate an Amazon kernel . . . .

You will need:

Vendor's kernel source (posted by Amazon)
Vendor's configuration file (posted here)
Vendor's initramfs (posted here), or one of your own invention
Cross-compile toolchain(s) (posted in the KeK resource pool)
Knowledge of how to run the kernel without burning it to the flash memory.

Note: As things stand at the time of this post - you will have to invent a version 5.2 or 5.3 dot-config file from the Amazon provided version 5.1 dot-config files.

Get after it people.
