Cannot find kernel branch rel_imx_5.4.3-1.0.0

[marcocontenti]

Hello,

I am trying to build kernel 5.4.3 for i.MX family following section 2.1.1 of i.MX Porting Guide, Rev. L5.4.3_1.0.0 I just downloaded, along with Release notes, etc. all referring to rev. 5.4.3_1.0.0 of the i.MX kernel.

After cloning the kernel repo from https://source.codeaurora.org/external/imx/linux-imx I am supposed to find a rel_imx_5.4.3-1.0.0 branch to check out. Actually this branch doesn't exist in the repository. I can find instead a rel_imx_5.4.3-2.0.0 branch, but I am not sure I can use it.

So, which is the right branch to check out?

Thanks,

Marco

Answering myself, I downloaded the Yocto source code for 5.4.3-1.0.0 and found out in the kernel recipe that the correct branch should be "lf-5.4.y". There is also a tag "lf-5.4.y-1.0.0" pointing to the same commit with hash "f8118585ee3c7025265b28985fdfe0af96a84466". Not so self-evident as in past releases.

Hello Marco,

I’m glad that you found out the cause of this problem. My apologies for the confusion. It is a departure from previous naming conventions (and this is indeed not expressly stated on the documentation). Hopefully your post will help other Community users.
