Example of rebuilding MLNX_OFED and BlueField SoC drivers for DEB-based Distros

In the README, it would be nice to have an example of rebuilding MLNX_OFED driver packages and other BlueField SoC drivers for DEB-based Distros in the case of installing a customized kernel in these Distros.

I have this use case, so a clue on how to do it would be highly appreciated.

cryptsetup: ERROR: Couldn't resolve device overlay

Hello team,

I am trying build through branch DOCA_1.5.1_BSP_3.9.3_Ubuntu_20.04 in an arm64 environment, build command is IMAGE_TYPE=prod ./bfb-build ubuntu 20.04
However, it ends with the error:

Step 70/70 : CMD ["/root/workspace/create_bfb", "-k", "5.15.0-1003.28.ga8d758d-bluefield"]

Could anyone give it a quick look? Thanks.
Also wondering if crysetup is necessary, can we just disable it?

RHEL9-based images

Could you add an option to build a RHEL9 image? RHEL9 itself would be our preference, but a RHEL9-compatible image like Rocky 9 or Alma 9 would probably work for us, too.

Install customer kernel and rebuild OFED failed

After installed customer kernel, download MLNX_OFED_SRC-5.6-1.0.3.3.tgz and build followed the guide, run into failures

1. iser-5.6 rebuild failed
   Processing files: iser-5.6-OFED.5.6.1.0.1.1.kver.4.19.0_1.0.1.6.aarch64
   error: File not found by glob: /var/tmp/OFED_topdir/BUILDROOT/iser-5.6-OFED.5.6.1.0.1.1.aarch64/etc/depmod.d/zz02-iser-*.conf

2. need to add Note for CentOS: To build kernel RPM while running ARM container on x86_64 need to disable kernel's debuginfo package:
   cat > /root/.rpmmacros <<EOF
   %debug_package %{nil}
   %with_debuginfo 0
   %__debug_install_post %{nil}
   EOF
