imx6 Linux Kernel Source File modification

[riteshpanchal]

I am using fsl-yocto-3.14.28-1.0.1 project.

And i want to modify some source file of the linux kernel.

For example i am trying to change 'build-x11/tmp/work/imx6qsabresd-poky-linux-gnueabi/linux-imx/3.14.28-r0/git/drivers/media/platform/mxc/capture/ov5640.c' file.

After modifying the file i executed "bitbake -c cleansstate linux-imx" command.

But then if i execute "bitbake fsl-image-multimedia-full" modified ov5640.c overwrite with the default one.

So how can i change the kernel source file?

Hi Yuri Mohan,

Does free scale provide Revision history between Kernel Migrations.

Suppose I am using Kernel 3.10.17 and planning to Migrate to 3.14.28. So do you have some document which has details on BSP changes done in new kernel.

Thanks,

Dilshad

The only comments regarding new versions may be found in Release Notes

in each BSP doc.

Regards,

Yuri.

Please find my custom layer file. i have put it on my build folder.

And added BBLAYER in conf\bblayers.conf

And also i have checked it found by bitbake by following command

bitbake-layers show-layers

And after that if execute

bitbake -c cleansstate linux-imx

i got following error

ERROR: No recipes available for:

/home/ritesh/fsl-release-bsp/build-x11/meta-fsl-custom/recipes-kernel/linux/linux-imx.bbappend

I just change one line in ov5640.c file and i want to just test kernel patching.

i also tried to add test.bb file in recipies/linux folder and adding the following contain

SRC_URI += "file://0001-ov5640.c-test-string-change.patch"

patch -p1 0001-ov5640.c-test-string-change.patch

So i got error "Failed to parse recipe: /home/ritesh/fsl-release-bsp/build-x11/meta-fsl-custom/recipes-kernel/linux/test.bb"

And for quick kernel modification. I can successfully create zImage and tried following command to flash

sudo cp tmp/deploy/images/imx6qsabresd/zImage /media/ritesh/Boot\ imx6qs

But Linux freezing after Starting kernel message on terminal.
