[SOLVED] Best way to clean, rebuild kernel

Hi everyone,

I've seen a variety of posts on the best way to incrementally build Yocto without clearing all your cache and work directories.  However, I've found that when I modify the kernel in the following ways:

- Add a patch

- Change a menuconfig option

- Edit a kernel source file

And rebuild using the methods I found, the changes don't seem to make it into the kernel.  The only foolproof way I have right now is to delete my directories and rebuild from scratch, which is painful.

What is the proper sequence of commands to clean and rebuild only the kernel and deploy it to an SD card?

Thanks!

Matt
