Other Parts Discussed in Thread: PROCESSOR-SDK-AM64X
Hi,
We’ve received some questions from my customer about Linux Kernel in the Processor SDK AM64x.
https://www.ti.com/tool/ja-jp/PROCESSOR-SDK-AM64X#downloads
They think that Linux Kernel is gotten as the snapshot from the following repository. Are they correct ?
https://git.ti.com/cgit/ti-linux-kernel/ti-linux-kernel/
Q1. Could you tell them how to make Linux Kernel source codes contained in Processor SDK AM64x correspond to the above repository ?
Each content in Processor SDK AM64x has the revision number separated from Linux kernel version. (Currently, PROCESSOR-SDK-LINUX-RT-AM64X 08.05.00.21)
Q2. Could you tell them how to verify the SDK version from the built kernel binary ?
They’d like to confirm the source of the kernel running on EVM (which SDK version was the binary made with ?) from the EVM.
Q3. Is the Linux Kernel always updated (revision up) when a bug was fixed in PROCESSOR-SDK-AM64X and SDK revision was updated ?
(They think that if only the TI-dependent part of the Linux Kernel is modified, the revision of the Linux Kernel will not be changed, is this correct?)
Also, in the kernel source code, is there any information (revision number, etc.) that uniquely identifies the modified contents of the TI-dependent part apart from the Linux kernel revision,?
In addition, related to the Q2 above, is it possible to check that unique information from the built kernel?
Thanks and regards,
Hideaki
