Is it possible to build the latest mainline kernel v5x for IMX233 board?

[sanyo]

Please note that I do not need GPIOs, actually only Ethernet port is needed for a simple low power mail and jabber server to save on electricity bills.


CPU: ARM926J
RAM: 64 MB

I used following script to build kernel v5.2 for AllWinner ARMv7 board:

#BoardModel=$1; #am335x_evm_config
BoardModel="Cubietruck_defconfig";

BoardConfig="sunxi_defconfig";
Toolchain="CROSS_COMPILE=/usr/bin/arm-linux-gnueabihf-";
CommonOptions="ARCH=arm $Toolchain INSTALL_MOD_PATH=/download/mods";
BuildOptions=" -j4 zImage dtbs modules";

KernelDir="/usr/src/linux-5.2.14";
cd $KernelDir;

#make clean;
#make $Options $BoardConfig;            # config
#make $Options $BuildOptions;          # build # all
 
set -x;
make $CommonOptions  modules_install;  # get modules

I did not compile it myself, but I'm testing https://archlinuxarm.org/platforms/armv5/olinuxino on the iMX233-OLinuXino-MAXI and it's currently at:
