-This section details the on how to get an environment that can be used to configure and cross-compile the kernel for embedded Linux development. The kernel source won't come from nix unpack phase but rather gotten externally(such as from the chip vendor github). So first clone the kernel source, then use the shell.nix below to set up the dev environment(example below is for aarch64):
+To configure and cross-compile Linux kernels for embedded development, often distributed separately instead of using the stock kernel, you can setup a development environment as shown below:
