Yes, I do need to compile modules.
When you say "any latest 3.8" does that mean that I should grab it from kernel.org, or somewhere else? BTW: One thing that I am not clear on is how to know if an "official" release from kernel.org has evolved enough or when a specialized version is needed. I currently have installed: arm-linux-gnueabi-gcc version 4.7.3 (Ubuntu/Linaro 4.7.3-12ubuntu1) Adequate for compiling the kernel? I saw a link on TI site for PRU assembler and C compiler which I assume I will also need.
