There are certain apps that behave very differently with various kernels. I know my application does not work nearly as well with the "-ti" kernels but works perfectly with the "-bone" kernels. We've had major issues with 4.19 (looks like that is getting resolved soon). The -rt and non-rt kernels have various uses cases where they are either needed or should not be used. Boot times are also affected by the kernel selection. So yes, there are definite reasons for being able to control exactly which kernel is used on your device. -- For more options, visit http://beagleboard.org/discuss --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "BeagleBoard" group.
