Please keep your replies on the mailing list so that all may benefit. It's understandable that you would want to keep with familiar versions but 2.6.32 dates from 2009, many years before the BeagleBoard was even created. It is unlikely that a kernel from that period would run on that board. Also, much of the Yocto infrastructure (e.g. udev) relies on much newer kernels to function properly. If you want to use newer hardware, you are inevitably going to need the newer software that goes with it. > > On 29 April 2015 at 18:13, Gary Thomas > wrote: > > On 2015-04-29 06:38, Parthiban Kandasamy wrote: > > i am using beagleboard-xm like board for my custom use. for my development i am using yocto-dora-1.5 as bsp and kernel-2.6.32(i downgraded). > while bitbaking kernel, i got error as follows: > > Log data follows: > | DEBUG: Executing shell function do_kernel_checkout > | Reinitialized existing Git repository in > /home/parthiban/UliveSytems/Parthiban/CODE/OpenSource/BSP/beagleboard-dora-10.0.0/BeagleBuild/tmp/work/beagleboard-poky-linux-gnueabi/linux-yocto/2.6.32-r0/linux-2.6.32/.git/ > | On branch standard/base > | nothing to commit, working directory clean > | ERROR.
