[Buildroot] Buildroot & GIT branch

[Janne Hämeenaho]

Hi,Thanks for a great SW! Buildroot is an achievement. I'm a new users and I've got a problem: I need to use my own branch of Linux kernel GIT repository which is on my server. Let's call it my_branch. How do I config Buildroot to pull that branch? Buildroot successfully uses master branch. Thanks in advance,JanneH

I think you should put the branch name as Linux kernel version in the
configuration.

Right. Something like:

BR2_LINUX_KERNEL=y
BR2_LINUX_KERNEL_CUSTOM_GIT=y
BR2_LINUX_KERNEL_CUSTOM_GIT_REPO_URL="git://myserver.com"
BR2_LINUX_KERNEL_CUSTOM_GIT_VERSION="mybranch"

Yes, this should be OK. Did you try it?
