Kernel Linux Detached head message Occured in N7.1.1_1.0.0?

[ThanarajS]

Hi All,

   While checkout Kernel_linux code in Android N7.1.1_1.0.0 Platform. I am getting following message,

root@cpu494:/work/myandroid/kernel_imx# git checkout n7.1.1_1.0.0-ga
Checking out files: 100% (50194/50194), done.
Note: checking out 'n7.1.1_1.0.0-ga'.

You are in 'detached HEAD' state. You can look around, make experimental
changes and commit them, and you can discard any commits you make in this
state without impacting any branches by performing another checkout.

If you want to create a new branch to retain commits you create, you may
do so (now or later) by using -b with the checkout command again. Example:

  git checkout -b new_branch_name

HEAD is now at 72e0d95... MA-9237 selinux: nlmsgtab: add SOCK_DESTROY to the netlink mapping tables.

And also using this kernel I am not able to cross compile driver binaries?....

We are suspecting that due to this above message it giving error?

Please help me on this to get proper kernel_linux fix code.

Thanks,

Raj.

Hi Raj

Looks like your issue is due, that you are working as root while git checkout

For kernel crosscompilation issues, I suggest to chekc your toolchain installation.

Hi Bio_TICFSL,

Do you mean to check "repo sync" ?.

Also we got some errors while doing kernel cross compilation for driver.

Regards,

Raj.
