How to find the flavour of your kernel ?

[sarathchandra]

Hi all,

           I am using Yocto SDK1.4 for my QorIQ processor.

           When I am giving "uname -a" it is throwing like "Linux p1023 3.8.13-rt9-QorIQ-SDK-1.4 #3 SMP ${date} ppc GNU/LINUX".

           Here does the "QorIQ-SDK-1.4" is the flavour ?

           else kindly let me know.

Thanks & Regards,

Sarath

Hello Sarath,

The label "QorIQ-SDK-1.4" is Freescale Linux SDK flavour, actually in SDK it is called local version, you could find it is recorded in the file .scmversion in the Kernel source folder after configured by Yocto.

If you wan to modify this OS release version information, you could modify Kernel recipe, please edit the following code in Kernel recipe meta-fsl-ppc/recipes-kernel/linux/linux-qoriq-sdk.inc.

	#add git revision to the local version
	if [ "${SCMVERSION}" = "y" ]; then
	# append sdk version if SDK_VERSION is defined
	sdkversion=''
	if [ -n "${SDK_VERSION}" ]; then
	sdkversion="-${SDK_VERSION}"
	fi
	head=`git rev-parse --verify --short HEAD 2> /dev/null`
	printf "%s%s%s" $sdkversion +g $head > ${S}/.scmversion
	fi

Have a great day,
Yiping
