Currently this process is not really supported and would have to be done manually. You can see in the build script where the kernel kernel Image \*.dtbs and modules are installed. [lx2160a\_build/runme.sh at master · SolidRun/lx2160a\_build · GitHub](https://github.com/SolidRun/lx2160a_build/blob/master/runme.sh#L373)

You would need to tar those files up manually, move them to your installation and untar them onto the filesystem.
