In addition to the new kernel recipes, the previous recipes are -refreshed and supported for at least one additional release. As they align, -these previous releases are updated to include the latest from the LTSI project. -Besides these recipes, a linux-yocto-dev recipe is available for working with -the very latest in upstream Linux kernel development as well as meta-data -development. - -If you do not maintain your own kernel sources and need to make only minimal -changes to the sources, these recipes provide a vetted base upon which to layer -your changes. Doing so allows you to benefit from the continual kernel -integration and testing performed during development of the Yocto Project. - -If, instead, you have a very specific Linux kernel source tree and are unable to -align with one of the many official linux-yocto releases, an alternative -exists by which you can use the Yocto Project Linux kernel tools with your own -sources. - -The sections that follow provide instructions for completing specific Linux -kernel development tasks. They assume familiarity with working with bitbake -recipes and basic open-source development tools. Understanding these concepts -will facilitate the process of working with the kernel recipes.
