Hey,
I am an absolute newbie , I tried to clone greg kroah-hartman's
staging tree repository , somehow I was not able to boot in the kernel
I built .
Also, Does this command below give me the latest kernel code ?
I have tried to clone another repository using the command below
git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git
while building with this , I had to install gcc plugin-dev . I don't
understand why ?
I didn't have to do it last time I built the kernel
Regards

Whenever you want to create a patch, create a topic branch from the latest next-* tag.

My advice is that 1) Clone your repo using the link that I have sent to you. 2) You have said that you are an absolute beginner, so create your topic branch from upstream kernel master branch. 3)Last but not least, please read Linux Kernel In Nutshell(LKN) If you want to complile for arm, an example, ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabli- make distclean ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabli- make omap2plus_defconfig ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabli- make zImage dtbs This zImage can be run on BeagleBone Black. > > > On Thu, Feb 2, 2017 at 5:28 AM, srishti sharma <srishtishar@gmail.com> wrote: > > Thanks, I am running ubuntu 16.04 LTS > > > > On Thu, Feb 2, 2017 at 5:17 AM, Amit Kumar <free.amit.kumar@gmail.com> wrote: > >> On Thu, Feb 02, 2017 at 03:39:18AM +0530, srishti sharma wrote: > >>> Hey, > >>> I am an absolute newbie , I tried to clone greg kroah-hartman's > >>> staging tree repository , somehow I was not able to boot in the kernel > >>> I built . > >>> > >>> Also, Does this command below give me the latest kernel code ? > >>> > >>> I have tried to clone another repository using the command below > >>> > >>> git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git > >>> > >>> > >>> while building with this , I had to install gcc plugin-dev .
