Linux PSP version for AM3703

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: AM3703, DM3730

I'm using a custom board with AM3703 [1]. I've downloaded the SDK from [2]. The SDK has two versions of Linux, namely linux-2.6.37-psp04.02.00.07.sdk and sitara-board-port-linux that are based on 3.2 and 2.6.37 respectively. From the Release notes, it is evident that AM3703 is supported in 2.6.37 only.

May I know the roadmap for the next SDK/PSP release. Will a 3.x kernel be supported for AM3703?

And What is the difference between the two different kernels present in the SDK?

    There is no official release with kernel higher than 2.6.37 but in mainline kernel (TI branch)  "supports" BeagleboardXm (DM3730 which is similar to AM37xx) till last version 3.6. 

    About future - someone from TI has to answer this question but if want to put  Linux into device  you can try with BeagleboardXm (DM3730) release (I think it is kernel 3.3 or 3.4) and it is placed on TI download site.

    Different processors -  linux-2.6.37-psp04.02.00.07.sdk - it is for AM/DM37xx and probably supports drivers for video decoders etc., SGX drivers and it is harder to migrate to higher kernel.  sitara-board-port-linux is probably for am335x's witch are "smaller".

    I also want to know why TI do not upgrade kernel version from OMAP3EVM boards with DM37xx? 2.6.37 is quite old and has its own problems too.

    [ORB] -- at this time there are no plans to update AM37xx to 3.0 Kernel. Will update if this plan changes.
