What replaces the 4.19.y scripts/mkknlimg in 5.16-rc6-rt12?

Greetings all;

That script/mkknlimg is missing in v5.16-rc6-rt2. What replaces it?

Or, can this script be copied to a v5.16-rc6-rt12 build and used?

Thanks a bunch, I'm trying to build a v5.16-rc6-rt12 on a rpi4 for the 
rpi4. The build itself was flawless.

Cheers, Gene Heskett.

That script was never part of any mainline kernel (and thus any previous
or current RT release) to begin with. So... this is not exactly the
right place to ask.

Good luck,

Mainline 4.19.* does not have a file called scripts/mkknlimg.
Since I am not familiar with that script, I used some internet search
engine and found several sites that might help you.  Good luck.  :)

https://autostatic.com/tag/mkknlimg/
https://github.com/raspberrypi/linux/issues/3249

Bottom line is that it is no longer needed. The second URL above says:

It's not at all clear what would be going wrong in your case. Our standard kernel build instructions (https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/linux/kernel/building.md) just copy the zImage:

sudo cp arch/arm/boot/zImage /boot/$KERNEL.img

and

sudo cp arch/arm/boot/zImage mnt/fat32/$KERNEL.img


cheers.
