Here is the tutorial :

1. Prepare 2 files :
- new_ervius_visual_kitchen_v_1_8_1_exe_only_+_tools_folder.rar from ervius visual kitchen thread.
- Life23035-ori.zip , the latest atomlife wm6.5 released by crishsch

2. extract 2 files to any folder .. (don't use any space in between folder name) on mine is : C:\EVK; and rename the al1.dio into al1.dio.payload

nb. I can not run build if the drive is network drive ..

3. Run the ervisuvkitchen.exe and press OK on any pop up message ...

The ervius kitchen will pop; klik the "DUMP" button to dump al1.dio.payload; to populate the kitchen with the correct structure;

There will be a pop up to select payload / rom files and select al1.dio.payload that has been prepared on step 2;

There will be another pop up message to give a name our dump rom: I give it name "atomlife"

After dump prosess there will be a new folder name it "dump" and already populated with all folder need it by ervius kitchen to run ...

4. Next go to the rom "OEMXIPKERNEL" directories and delete "giisr.dll" directory.
(Make building the XIP.bin error, so the rom bootup will stop on "Reset to Factory Defaults" message)

5. Edit "boot.rgu" files on the "OEMXIPKERNEL" and find the line with "MUI"; edit the "804" value to "409" (may be you need to change the file property and un check the "read only" ...)

6. Copy the attached file "kitchen_build_rom.bat" to the /dump/tools/ directory.
(this is my customization on the original to build atomlife rom).

Kitchen_Build_rom.bat

7. Now the kitchen is ready to run : just klik the erviuskitchen.exe on the /dump directory.

8. Now, Ready to Set our Kitchen / Rom build staff for 23025 relaese to test the kitchen :
(Hi, yes I try to re-build the chrishsch rom; by using ervius kitchen ... )
a. Select Device List ("atomlife") , select XIP and SYS version ( 23025 on this step ..)
b. Fill the "Device ID" with "ATOM****" and Chunk : 64
(Atomlife kitchen build process don't need this info)
c. Set the rom vers. as you like (I set 5.3.00.25 )

so The kitchen will be populated with all SYS , OEM , EXT, and XIP as what the version that we are selected ..

and We can save it our customization, so If we don't need to re-customize; by pressing the "SAVE" button

9. To build the rom just press "Create" button and if there is no error; the released rom will be available on /dump/released_atomlife/ directory and ready to flash and test it ...
