Linux kernel imx boards

[vkaasin]

Hello,

I have previously used the linux-imx kernel with the git tags starting with "rel_imx-". It was moved to source.codeaurora.org, and later to https://github.com/nxp-imx/linux-imx/.

The latest git tag for "rel_imx" is rel_imx_5.4.70_2.3.7. Are there any plans to update to a newer version of the kernel? Have you stopped using the "rel_imx" tags?

not hear of such plan to use rel_imx tag back

But there are still differences between for example the two tags "v5.4.70" and "rel_imx_5.4.70_2.3.7". What was the purpose of the "rel_imx" tags? And what have they been replaced with?

why do you need to know this? currently, refer to the official yocto building guide, for example, 6.6.3 bsp, you can refer to this

https://github.com/nxp-imx/imx-manifest/blob/imx-linux-nanbield/imx-6.6.3-1.0.0.xml
