Installing the Apollo Kernel

Helpful hints before you begin

• The Apollo runtime environment in the vehicle requires the Apollo Kernel. You are strongly recommended to install the pre-built kernel.

Installing Apollo Kernel

1. Download the release packages from the release section on GitHub: https://github.com/ApolloAuto/apollo-kernel/releases
2. Install the kernel after having the release package downloaded:
   • tar zxvf linux-4.4.32-apollo-1.5.0.tar.gz
   • cd install
   • sudo bash install_kernel.sh
3. Reboot your system using the reboot command
4. After rebooting, build the ESD CAN driver source code. Resources to build the ESD CAN driver source code can be found here: ESDCAN-README.md
