嵌入式Linux应用与开发——内核配置选项含Linux最新版本kernel下载后续操作

下载官网的最新Linux内核版本，Linux虚拟机中Ubuntu 下载速度慢，更换镜像源后使下载速度正常。这是一个.tar.xz文件，我们要先来解压它。下面是下载内核解压文件编译内核配置内核的全过程。由于我们并没有正确的写好相关配置文件，我们的内核编译是失败的。

First,we would like to download the latest Linux kernel from Linux website .It seems that we could choose some old versions with smaller size but we prefer to using the latest one firstly.

xz -d linux-5.7.tar.xz
tar -xvf linux-5.7.tar

After decompressing the file, we would like to explore it.

 cd linux-5.7/
 ls

Here we have met a problem after entering make menuconfig in the terminal .We can not open the Linux kernel configuration window.

We should compile successfully before configuring.
