If you want build a custom kernel, then instructions are on https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentati ... uilding.md
Building a full image with packages is a much larger task, although you can look at buildroot as a start.

gopi90ms,

What is it you want to customize?

If you are doing kernel development it's probably far more convenient to do it on a PC.

If you just want to modify or create a device driver you only need build that driver. A much easier proposition.
