3.8 Kernel

Bill

Where can I find the Arago 3.8 kernel source. I am trying to run it on the Keystone II since the default images that come with the MCSDK are 3.8 kernel

Hi Bill,

You can do a git clone to the latest git repository to get the latest linux kernel source by following the steps given in the below section of TI WIKI. After cloning, you can do a git reset to get the required version of the linux.

http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/MCSDK_UG_Chapter_Exploring#Linux_kernel_and_the_device_tree_blob_build_instructions

$ git clone git://git.ti.com/keystone-linux/linux.git

$ cd linux-keystone

$ git reset --hard <Release tag> where release tag can be obtained from Release notes. For example tag is DEV.MCSDK-03.08.04.11 for the release.

The release tag can be found at path: mcsdk_bios_3_00_03_15/docs/MCSDK_Release_Notes.pdf

Regards,

Shankari

Unfortunately the Release tags must be poorly published because none of the tags that I try succeed. I get the error: unknown revision or path not in the working tree. Use '--' to separate paths from revisions. Every time.

I have tried the tag you give above, git reset --hard DEV.MCSDK-03.08.04.11

And also many variations given in the MCSDK release notes. I get the same error everytime.

Hi Bill,

I hope surely you will get succeed if you followed Shankari steps, please check one more time.

linux- host$ git clone git://git.ti.com/keystone-linux/linux.git

Try "gitk" command on your linux host machine to check the TAGS present on your source after you did 'git clone'.

If you don't have gitk then try to install "sudo apt-get install gitk"

Bill,

It works for me. That's OK.

We have an alternate methods like below:

1.Git clone linux

$ git clone git://git.ti.com/keystone-linux/linux.git

$ cd linux-keystone

2. After git cloning the linux,

#cd /linux-keystone

#git tag -l

3. The below command will fetch you the linux version 3.8

. #git reset --hard v3.8-rc1

Regards,

Shankari

Yes I was thanks. The git tag -l command helped. It is good to note that the tags are not listed in the release notes though.

Hi Bill,

The tags are of-course listed in the release notes document of MCSDK 3.0. I have checked it.
