Hi,

I am trying to use linaro android kernel for the first time. I am getting some issues, and any pointers to resolving that will be a great help to me:

The linaro release 13.07, "Release notes" say that the kernel 3.10 is updated with android v3.10 experimental patch set from AOSP.

I am using a panda board and I want to run android using 3.10 kernel. So, I downloaded the following from linaro site w.r.t panda board: (http://releases.linaro.org/13.07/android/panda/)

1. boot.tar.bz2
2. system.tar.bz2
3. userdata.tar.bz2

I flashed these images into my SD card and followed the instructions to get android running on Panda board. I notice that the kernel image included in the package is 3.2. So, I downloaded linux-linaro-stable-android-3.10.1-2013.07.tar.bz2, compiled it and replaced the uImage present in "boot" folder to the new one. But, this way, the kernel does not boot. I have used "omap2plus_defconfig" to build the kernel.

So can anybody help me resolve this issue.

13.07 panda release is based on 3.2 kernel. The 3.10 kernel will have sysfs entries for mmc different from what we have in 13.07 release and it is expected to not work. The 3.2 kernel has gralloc specific to omap4 which is based on ION and it will not work on tip kernel. You will have to update the taraball to use software gralloc. you have a better chance to get it working with filessystem for a platform that is based on unaccelerated graphics like the vexpress.
