Addendum:

I *have* built kernels according to the Adroid Developer's instructions, like for the Nexus 10.
They need a "device" entry in the Android source though. So where is the "device" folder for the FHD10?

The information received so far is insufficient for building the binary kernel distributed on the device.
This can be seen as a breach of the GPL.

Be so kind and confirm the reception of this response.

Josua Dietze
Sehr geehrter Herr Dietze,
*/1. the exact kernel configuration file for the current kernel version used on the device/*
This is the latest version from RD provide.
V4.7.3
http://www.asus.com/Tablets_Mobile/ASUS_MeMO_Pad_FHD_10/#support
Genau wie bei den anderen Quellpaketen - keine Kernelkonfiguration enthalten. Diese Antwort ist nutzlos.

There is no kernel configuration included - as with the previous releases. No help there.
*/2. A short instruction about how to compile the correct kernel even without the configuration file./**//*
Please refer to Android Developer website.
Hier die Angaben für die Kernelerstellung von der Android-Entwickler-Seite.

This is from the Android Developer website.

Wie wird das Kernel für FHD10 hier integriert? Bitte einen Verweis auf die fehlende Information.
Und wo ist die "defconfig" für das FHD10?

How does the FHD10 kernel fit in here? Please provide a link to the specific information which is still missing.
Ans where is the "defconfig" for the FHD10?

*/Asus provides the source code of the Linux kernel used on the FHD10 for download./*
*/However, the specific kernel configuration for the binary kernel on the device is obviously not included, nor is any hint about how to obtain this configuration./*
*/It is common view that the kernel configuration is part of the obligation the GPL imposes. The kernel configuration is essential to generate a kernel that is identical to the one on the device./*
