Hi Guys,
I have flashed my SD card with linaro-media-create with precise-devel and latest h/w pack (12.08)
Now i have two requirements: - Always use my copy of devel instead of the new devel everytime from the latest release As i do install a lot of stuff on it. Will apt-get update would be enough to get the latest things from linaro? - Update kernel image, with my kernel, from mainline or linaro I have tried a lot of combinations... but always some issues
I went through this too: https://wiki.linaro.org/Resources/HowTo/KernelDeploy
I want to know what's the best practice of updating image that is followed by most of the Linaro developers?

apt-get update/upgrade is not 100% safe, but we always try to make the transition to work so our users can still update their images based after flashing it.
So feel free to upgrade it with apt and report us any issue you might find later.

You could update the kernel based on the latest packages that might end up at the Overlay PPA or build your own, it all depends on your needs.

If you want to build your kernel by hand you can just follow the instructions to update the uImage and kernel modules, and it should work just fine.
Cheers,

What do you install on top? We would like to deliver images that are best suited for direct use by our kernel engineers. Getting input on what is missing in developer image would be very helpful to improve the out of the box experience we deliver.
Thanks!
