There is a good walkthrough on how to build the Linux kernel for VOXL 2 here: https://docs.modalai.com/voxl2-kernel-build-guide/

But is there a similar walkthrough for the VOXL? I am trying trying to customize the kernel via menuconfig but I don't see any defconfigs for the qrb5165-kernel (dev branch). For platform selection, I don't see any Voxl platforms and don't see anything for the specific qualcomm chip thats being used on the Voxl under the Qualcomm Platforms.

Is there any documentation for kernel builds for the Voxl and I am just missing it?

Currently the best documentation we have on building the VOXL kernel can be found here: https://gitlab.com/voxl-public/system-image-build/voxl-build/-/blob/master/README.md

@Moderator I just tried running those instructions for VOXL1 build, but have an issue downloading the manifest package from codeaurora. 

I posted an issue [here](https://gitlab.com/voxl-public/system-image-build/voxl-build/-/issues/7) about it. Please let me know if there is an update!
