Hi,
The following Renesas BSP is based on linux-yocto 3.4% and built with
dora branch of poky and 5.0.1 of meta-ivi
https://github.com/rCarUSA/GENIVI-Gemini-Release/tree/master/meta-rcar-h2-lager
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Below lines from meta-rcar-h2-lager/conf/machine/rcar-h2-lager.conf file
…
PREFERRED_PROVIDER_virtual/kernel ?= "linux-yocto"
PREFERRED_VERSION_linux-mainline ?= "3.4%"
…
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I saw the following file which is related to linux-yocto 3.8
poky/meta-yocto-bsp/recipes-kernel/linux/linux-yocto_3.8.bbappend
What do I need to do to upgrade the Renesas BSP to linux-yocto 3.8 from
the current 3.4 ?
I had a look at the recipe you referenced, and while it uses the
linux-yocto name, it isn't referencing the linux-yocto kernel tree or
a BSP definition in the tree. If it had referenced linux-yocto, I would
have been carrying the support forward to 3.8, 3.10, etc.
If you have a choice, I'd recommend 3.10 over 3.8 .. but you may not
have a choice.
Back to the point. In this case, your upgrade path would be to check
with the maintainer/author of the recipe and the renasas tree referenced
in that recipe. If they have something newer .. you are good to go,
otherwise, you'll need to see what sort of patches need to be ported
to uprev.
Cheers,
Bruce
