+===== Build Linux - Script method =====
+We provide [[https://raw.githubusercontent.com/analogdevicesinc/wiki-scripts/master/linux/build_nios2_kernel_image.sh|a script that does automates]] the build for Nios 2.
+The script takes 4 parameters:
+  - **<path_to_nios2_toolchain>** - this is mandatory, since already built Nios 2 toolchains are not very common ; point this to the **nios2eds** directory [e.g. **/home/<user>/intelFPGA/<version>/nios2eds/bin/gnu/H-x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/bin/nios2-elf-** ]
+  - **<local_kernel_dir>** - default is **linux-adi** if left blank ; use this, if you want to use an already cloned kernel repo
+  - **<altera_branch>** - default is **altera_4.9** if left blank
+  - **<devicetree_file>** - which device tree should be used for build; default is ''a10gx_adrv9371.dts''
+The script will:
+   - clone the ADI kernel tree
+   - download the Linaro GCC toolchain [if no other is specified]
+   - build the ADI kernel tree
+   - export/copy the Image file and device tree file out of the kernel build folder
+==== Running the script in one line ====
+<code>
+wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/analogdevicesinc/wiki-scripts/master/linux/build_nios2_kernel_image.sh && chmod +x build_nios2_kernel_image.sh && ./build_nios2_kernel_image.sh /home/<user>/intelFPGA/<version>/nios2eds/bin/gnu/H-x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/bin/nios2-elf-
