I haven't done this before, so I don't know how much effort this means. anyone any ideas? or any hints? thanks, best regards, Yang ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 6+ messages in thread

Try to git merge (or rebase?), resolve the conflicts, build, boot and check if everything is still working. If you create an extra branch for this, you will break nothing and will know the effort afterwards ;) Best regards Dirk ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 6+ messages in thread

If you meet some questions in above process, you can submit it here.I think it is easier to get more people's help. 2009/9/1, Xu Yang <risingsunxy@googlemail.com>: > hi ZongShun, > > you mean I can just put all the corresponding platform related folders > and files in the right place and compile , then it is done? > > thanks, > > Best regards, > > Yang > > 2009/9/1, Wan ZongShun <mcuos.com@gmail.com>: > > Hi, > > > > It is easy to do this. > > Actually, regarding this, there is no need to ask for other, > > Just do it. > > > > 2009/9/1, Xu Yang <risingsunxy@googlemail.com>: > > > hi guys, > > > > > > we already have linux kernel 2.6.29 running on our own arm1176 > > > platform. now I would like to upgrade the kernel to 2.6.30(or we can > > > say to port 2.6.30 on our platform).
