Firmware
cd /opt
git clone git://github.com/raspberrypi/firmware.git
cd firmware/boot
scp arm128_start.elf arm192_start.elf arm224_start.elf bootcode.bin loader.bin start.elf @:/boot/
After the first time:
cd /opt/firmware
git pull
cd boot
scp arm128_start.elf arm192_start.elf arm224_start.elf bootcode.bin loader.bin start.elf @:/boot/
Kernel cross compilation
You can use the "-j" flag to improve compilation time. If you have a dual core machine
you can use "-j 3", for a quad core machine you can use "-j 6", and so on. Also if your
trying to rebuild an existing kernel, the proper .config file can be obtained from the
raspberry pi using zcat /proc/config.gz > .config
