Changing Virtual/kernel for Nitrogen Board

Changing Virtual/kernel for Nitrogen Board

Hi All,

I'm using the Nitrogen board and I needed to change the kernel to the
original Freescale linux-imx. I tried the following:

(1) Add PREFERRED_PROVIDER_virtual/kernel = "linux-imx" in
build/conf/local.conf
(2) Add DEFAULT_PREFERENCE = "1" in a newly created
linux-imx_3.0.35.bbappend
(3) Add DEFAULT_PREFERENCE = "-1" in a newly created
linux-boundary_3.0.35.bbappend
(4) Copy machine/nitrogen6x.conf to my layer and change
PREFERRED_PROVIDER_virtual/kernel = "linux-imx"

With all the above changes the linux-imx kernel is being built and also the
linux-boundary kernel. Both are being deployed in the /boot directory but
uImage soft link points to linux boundary!

What is the correct way to force a different virtual/kernel ?


Thanks

There's no support for Nitrogen6 boards in linux-imx.

You may be able to get a crippled kernel to boot by using the
vestigial Sabre Lite machine definition, but audio certainly
won't work, and I'm doubtful that things will be stable.

Hi Eric,

The blocks I'm using are:
VPU - IPU - HDMI - USB - MMC - ETHERNET

Are these blocks not stable on the linux-imx kernel?

Thanks,
Tarek
