iMx6 kernel version

[yichen]

Hi all,

I followed the latest Freescale Yocto Project User's Guide build my image.

But when I use uname -a it shows up kernel 3.0.35

How can I change my kernel to 4.1?

Hello,

  Do You use recommendations of the recent documentation package ?

Summary Page :

  In particular :

$ repo init -u git://git.freescale.com/imx/fsl-arm-yocto-bsp.git -b imx-4.1.15-1.0.0_ga

Have a great day,
Yuri

I followed the documentation you gave.

Or there is another way to know my kernel version?

Hello,

  Pleae try using clean build (separate directoty) for the BSP.

Also, You may try demo image :

Hi Yuri

Thanks for your image

But still the same.

Is that caused by u-boot?

Because I have an emmc on my board. I don't know it will effect my kernel version or not?

Following image is boot by image you offered

[Yuri]

Hello,

1.

from just built Linux :

root@imx6qsabresd:~# uname -a

Linux imx6qsabresd 4.1.15-1.1.1+gd5d7c02 #1 SMP PREEMPT Tue May 17 16:33:36 OMST 2016 armv7l GNU/Linux

2.

   Looks like really eMMC located kernel and filesystem are used in the case.

Please check carefully Your boot settings and U-boot environment.

Difference between eMMC and SD is just port number.

Regards,

Yuri.

Hi Yuri,

Thanks for your help.

It is emmc's problem.

I change it to boot from sdcard to solved these problem.

Thanks!
