Hi,

Is i.MX6X support is provided in SELinux and SELinux Android?

If yes, what are SELinux and SELinux Andriod versions available with the i.MX6X support?

Thanks and Regards,

Vishakh

Hi Vishakh,

Yes NXP Android releases support SELinux since KitKat 4.4.x.

Hi Vishakh,

It depends on the Android version you want to use. For instance, Marshmallow release is using kernel 4.1.15. You can have a look at the git repo to see all the Android releases kernel version:

linux-2.6-imx.git - Freescale i.MX Linux Tree
