Documentation bugs : i.MX 6 Linux® Reference Manual, Rev. L3.14.28_1.0.0-ga, 03/2015

Is this doc upto date ????

I found an issue:

Page 41:

3.2.4 Interrupt Source Code Structure

The interrupt module is implemented in the following file (located in the directory

<Yocto_BuildDir>/linux/arch/arm/plat-mxc)

But there's no "plat-mxc" dir in the sources for 3.14.28, which this doc claims to be describing !!!!

Similiar references at:

Page 142

Page 165

Page 344

Page 383

Correct me if I am missing something here.

This is indeed an error or rather a lack of update. Starting 3.10.17 there were some significant changes on the structure of the kernel source code.

As far as I know the plat-mxc files have been merged into the mach-imx directory, which is no longer located on the path mentioned on the documentation but in:

<Yocto_DIR>/<BUILD_DIR>/tmp/work-shared/<MACHINE>/kernel-source/arch/arm/mach-imx

I’ll escalate this to the documentation team so it gets addressed on the next releases of the Linux Reference Manual. Thank you for pointing these out!

Just checked Its not updated even in the latest  Document Number: IMXLXRM
Rev. 1, 01/2017.

I guess correcting this will help people better.

Any timeline for update to 4.x ?
