I'm pulling together some notes for my students[1] on installing and compiling different kernels for BeagleBone Black.
The installing side is now easy with the latest (2014-7-16) Debian image. Run: apt-cache pkgnames | grep linux-image to see what images are out there and then: apt-get install linux-image-3.8.13-bone60 to install the image of your choice. * But what if you want to compile your own?* Are these the best way to do it from scratch? host$ *git clone git://github.com/RobertCNelson/linux-dev.git* host$* cd linux-dev* host$* git checkout origin/am33x-v3.8 -b am33x-v3.8* host$* cp system.sh.sample system.sh* host$ *./build_kernel.sh* How do I see what versions are available for checkout? How do I compile a specific version, such as 3.8.13-bone60? Once I've gotten something to compile and work should I: host$ git checkout -b myBranch so I can easily track the changes I make? Do I just run ./build_kernel.sh again to recompile? Thanks, your answers will help me guide my students... --Mark [1] http://elinux.org/EBC_Exercise_08_Installing_Development_Tools#Getting_the_3.8_Kernel -- For more options, visit http://beagleboard.org/discuss --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "BeagleBoard" group.
