14 | Specifying Kernel Version | ||
15 | ========================= | ||
16 | This layer has a few providers for the kernel. These are the linux-altera, | ||
17 | linux-altera-ltsi, and linux-altera-ltsi-rt kernels. There are also | ||
18 | linux-altera-dev and linux-altera-ltsi-dev kernels which follow the current | ||
19 | development versions of those kernels. | ||
20 | |||
21 | To specify a linux-altera kernel, add the following to your conf/local.conf | ||
22 | |||
23 | PREFERRED_PROVIDER_virtual/kernel = "linux-altera" | ||
24 | PREFERRED_VERSION_linux-altera = "4.3%" | ||
25 | |||
26 | or for the linux-altera-ltsi kernel | ||
27 | |||
28 | PREFERRED_PROVIDER_virtual/kernel = "linux-altera-ltsi" | ||
29 | PREFERRED_VERSION_linux-alterai-ltsi = "3.10%" | ||
30 | |||
31 | Please note that older kernels will not compile with GCC 5+ and you will need | ||
32 | to specify in your conf/local.conf to revert to older 4.9 toolchain. | ||
33 | |||
34 | GCCVERSION = "4.9%" | ||
35 | |||
36 | or | ||
37 | |||
38 | ANGSTROM_GCC_VERSION_arm = "linaro-4.9%" | ||
39 | |||
