    Hi,

    Its possible to upgrade the kernel 2.6.37 in that downloaded package??

    As per my understanding,

    Yes you can upgrade the android linux kernel version to 3.x.

    You need to compile SDX graphics driver with new android linux kernel 3.x for UI android boot.

    I have taken TI AM335x android source package (which is linux kernel 3.x)  then i have configured (only board file changes for my custom board) for AM37x board.

    2)I'm using ICS for my AM37x custom board.I download the android source from android.googlesource repository using repo init commands from this link http://source.android.com/source/downloading.html

    But it has android source only, but not a board file folders,x-loader,u-boot,kernel.Can i download it from any other android source.its possible to merge any recent kernels with it????

    Hi Mr.Sekra

         Download the Android ICS source package from http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/TI-Android-ICS-4.0.3-DevKit-3.0.1_DevelopersGuide#Getting_Source_.26_Toolchain

        or you can clone the TI Linux3.x from the GIT repository.

      I haven't worked with Beagleboard-XM. but this process may be help you.

      As usually build the Linux with modified board file and don't forget to build your SGX opposite to new kernel version. you can use the old u-boot file because u-boot is piece of code that bring the u-image from residing silicon to your RAM then its no more after that.

    Cheers
