 1) Libraries installed: `sudo apt install -y git build-essential make`

-1) MUST apply the [PLL kernel patch](./resources/shared_dpll-kernel-6.xx.patch) located in resources folder.
+1) MUST apply the matching [PLL kernel patch](./resources/shared_dpll-kernel-6.10+.patch) located in resources folder.
 
 	Apply shared_dpll-kernel-x.x.patch according to kernel version.  e.g shared_dpll-kernel-6.10+.patch applicable from 6.10 till 6.13.  6.14 has its own patch in resource directory.
