Well if Xenomai/Ipipe is your priority you should probably just write a kernel recipe for exactly such a kernel. So in case of 4.9 you could just base your build on the last tag on ipipe-4.9.y. in case of x86: http://git.xenomai.org/ipipe.git/tag/?h=ipipe-core-4.9.51-x86-4 > I see that the latest patch file in the xenomai download area is > ipipe-core-4.9.51-x86-4.patch. > > Will this patch work OK with the 4.9.61 kernel version, or should I > use a different approach to ensure a better match? You will have to try and if you get conflicts you will have to merge. For the long running branches like ipipe-4.4.y and 4.9.y you could also bring that topic up and we can discuss merging upsteam changes into the ipipe branches. On ARM you might be stuck with a non-mainline kernel and will have to merge. When merging you can either merge ipipe into yourkernel, or merge it the other way around. Which direction is easier depends on the size of the diff. Merging the ipipe-patchset into another kernel is hard, because that set contains a few very big commits. Because funny BSPs cause problems all over the place, do not buy from suppliers that do not do mainline, in case you have a say in that ;).

I have been using poky pyro branch for all my previous releases, but the BSP layer for this particular board caused some unusual output warnings in an all-pyro build, so I opted for Poky Master branch at HEAD for this build, and did not experience the warnings. (I’m still trying trying to understand those warnings, so I can go back to using pyro branch.) I just noticed that a build done in pyro today resulted in a kernel version of 4.9.50. This is much closer to 4.9.51, so maybe applying that patch to the pyro branch would be less problematic. >> I see that the latest patch file in the xenomai download area is >> ipipe-core-4.9.51-x86-4.patch. >> >> Will this patch work OK with the 4.9.61 kernel version, or should I use a >> different approach to ensure a better match? > > You will need to edit the patch (I know from experience that > there are definitely conflicting changes in between those > points), but that's still -- probably -- your best bet.

I may need to do the patch for ARM-based targets as well, at some point. - Steve ___ Xenomai mailing list Xenomai@xenomai.org https://xenomai.org/mailman/listinfo/xenomai

You will need to edit the patch (I know from experience that there are definitely conflicting changes in between those points), but that's still -- probably -- your best bet. Since you don't care about ARM-specific files, I don't think you'll have too hard a time. Be well. ___ Xenomai mailing list Xenomai@xenomai.org https://xenomai.org/mailman/listinfo/xenomai
Re: [Xenomai] matching patch version to kernel version
Hi, In my experience I usually try to get the patch that is the closest match to my kernel version. So I would try ipipe-core-4.9.51-x86-4.patch, you will probably have to do some hand fixes to resolve any conflicts if the patch doesn't apply cleanly. That's usually how I approach it. There could be better ways but for me that's the most straight forward.

[Xenomai] matching patch version to kernel version
Hi all, I am building Yocto poky linux for an Intel board at head in Master branch in Yocto poky, which currently results in a kernel version 4.9.61. I see that the latest patch file in the xenomai download area is ipipe-core-4.9.51-x86-4.patch. Will this patch work OK with the 4.9.61 kernel version, or should I use a different approach to ensure a better match?
