Other than the obvious answer that V4.4 has for features/drivers than V4.1, TI continue to move their custom processor patches into mainline, so V4.4 will require less patches than V4.1. The goal is to eventually move all patches into mainline so that a standard kernel will work on a board with a TI processor. > Which are the features of every kernel branch (ex. v4.4)? Best to look here:
http://kernelnewbies.org/Linux_4. <http://kernelnewbies.org/Linux_4.1>1 Do the same for 4.2, 4.3 and 4.4 to get an idea of what changed. > What are the differences between 'bone-kernel', 'ti-channel', > 'bone-xenomai-channel' and other ones available? bone-kernel is maintained by Robert Nelson and is targeted at the BB and BBB. The PRU is implemented with UIO ti-channel is maintained by TI and is developed for all TI processors. Some subsystems seem to be updated sooner than the bone-kernel. The PRU is implemented with RPMSG/REMOTEPROC xenomai is a dual kernel, one for realtime to achieve about 40uS latency under load conditions and the other is the regular Linux kernel ti-rt used the preempt features to reduce the interrupt latency to about 100uS > Which ones of the previous questions are available for real-time (rt)? As I explained before, xenomai is faster, but development is way more complicated. In most situations, ti-rt is more than fast enough, but there are some drivers that don’t work properly with the ti-rt kernel.
