Linux kernel 3.x to AM387x, AM389x

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: AM3874

Hello,

Are there any plans to update the Linux kernel to 3.x for the AM389X-AM387X processors (currently still on 2.6.37 since 2012)?

Is this family compatible with Beaglebone processor?

Best regards,

David.

No plans.

I think you are talking about Beaglebone board, not processor...and the processor used there is from AM335x family, that even it is Cortex-A8, there are a lot of different peripherals...

Please check with your local sales representative for alternatives.

Hi Rogerio,

I'm not talking about the Beagleboard since we use a custom built board around AM3874 processor. It is quite a disappointment if there are no plans, we thought this family would be compatible to Beagleboard processors when we selected this one, it has more peripherals we need.

I guess it's easier to upgrade the processor since production hasn't started then.

Best regards,

David.
