NebulaOS-kernel

The Linux 6.6 kernel SDK NebulaOS runs on the Creality Ender-3 V3 KE (Ingenic X2000). Development happens on openke; complete images get built from NebulaOS-firmware, not here.

Yes, the branch is called openke — that's historical, see Branch Model. This repo is a NebulaOS component, not the separate OpenKE project.

Building this repo alone won't get you a working printer image — NebulaOS-firmware pins an exact commit here, fetches just what it needs, and applies 8 build-time kernel variants on top.

• Branch Model — openke vs. main, and the OpenKE naming mix-up
• Kernel Development — working on kernel source here
• Kernel Build & Test — building and testing outside the full pipeline
• Qualified Variants — the 8 accepted build-time kernel patches
• Integration with NebulaOS-firmware — how this repo gets consumed
• Debugging — kernel-level debugging notes

This wiki summarizes; the repo's own README and NebulaOS-firmware's tracked docs are the real source of truth.
