[i.mx28] what is the best git repository to build kernel from

[randalsteve]

Hello

At the beginning - sorry for my probably dumb question. I want to build kernel for KaRo TX28 board(i.mx28) using buildroot. I want buildroot to get kernel code from git repository automatically but i have no idea what is the best repository to download the sources from. As i search my options are:

-the main kernel repository

-repository maintained by freescale: linux-2.6-imx.git - Freescale i.MX Linux Tree

-repository i found for Karo boards: git.kernelconcepts.de Git - karo-tx-linux.git/summary

I ask for advice - what the repository is most apropriate for me and why?

Thanks in advance

Hi

I suggest you just stick to mainline kernel. Both of those

other trees you refer in your post seem to be outdated.

TX28 is already supported in mainline kernel :

https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/arch/arm/boot/dts/imx28-tx28.dt...

I recommend to use the mainline kernel.

Hope this helps.
