Building newer versions of kernel and u-boot

Building newer versions of kernel and u-boot

[Flavio Castro Alves Filho]

Hello all,

I intend to build a newer version of U-Boot and Kernel for imx28evk.

Is there any local.conf variable where I could set in order to have
newer versions of kernel and u-boot.

I did the replacemente manually, but I believe that should have an
automatic option using Yocto.

Thank you very much.

Best regards,

Flavio

First thing would be determinate what you call "newer version"

On master, the default linux for imx28 is 2.6.35. And it's the "newest 
kernel from freescale" for this board.

If you intent to use kernel mainline, the newst version is 3.11 and you 
need only to change your PREFERRED_PROVIDER, add the following line to 
local.conf:

PREFERRED_PROVIDER_virtual/kernel = "linux-fslc"

For u-boot you are already using "newst" version as the default points 
to 2013.10

What do you realy need?
