Difference between Processor-sdk-Linux and ti-linux-kernel repositories

David Beaulieu
Expert 1280 points

Hi, 

I was wondering what is the difference between the Processor-sdk-linux (https://git.ti.com/processor-sdk/processor-sdk-linux) and ti-linux-kernel (http://gitorious.ti.com/ti-linux-kernel/ti-linux-kernel) repositories.

Which one should I be using to customize the kernel that runs on my evm-k2h?

Best regards,

- David

    Dear David,
    Please use the processor SDK Linux and Processor SDK Linux-RT for your K2H EVM board (Linux Kernel) as its new SDK with features and fixes.

    Please refer to the below TI wikis on migration MCSDK to Processor SDK
    processors.wiki.ti.com/.../MCSDK_to_Processor_SDK_Migration
    processors.wiki.ti.com/.../Processor_SDK_Linux_Migration_Guide
    processors.wiki.ti.com/.../Processor_SDK_RTOS_Migration_Guide


    You would get everything for your K2H platform on this link (Linux and RTOS components) .

    The main difference is SDK is the complete package which includes all the software components, tools and development software required for K2H EVM.

    ti-Linux kernel just contains the kernel meant for TI processors.

    THE PROCESSOR SDK LINUX :-

    ========================

    The Processor Software Development Kit (Processor-SDK) for Linux provides a fundamental software platform for development, deployment and execution of Linux based applications and includes the following:

    Bootloaders & Filesystems

    SDK Installer

    Setup Scripts

    Makefiles

    Matrix Application Launcher

    Example Applications

    WLAN support (Wilink 8)

    Code Composer Studio v6

    SDK Components & Versions

    ======================

    Linux Kernel  4.4.12+ (2016 LTS)  

    U-Boot  2016.05  

    Yocto Project  2.1 (Krogoth)  

    Linaro Toolchain (gcc)  5.3 2016.02 hard-float  

    Qt  5.6  

    OpenCL  1.1.9  

    OpenCV  3.1  

    Wayland  1.9  

    New Features in K2HK, K2E, K2L, K2G

    Added TI Keystone RapidIO Linux device driver on K2H. No support for U-Boot SRIO yet

    Added PCIe Root Complex driver on K2G

    Please visit http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/Processor_SDK_Linux_Release_Notes

    ti-linux-kernel

    ==============

    It contains just the kernel.

    To customize the kernel, just the kernel is sufficient. But you will get lot more in the SDK package in addition to the kernel.

    Particularly, you will get the pre-built u-boot, kernel and filesystem images where are tested on the K2H platform boards and IPC examples.
