hi guys,
we already have linux kernel 2.6.29 running on our own arm1176
platform. now I would like to upgrade the kernel to 2.6.30(or we can
say to port 2.6.30 on our platform). I haven't done this before, so I
don't know how much effort this means.
anyone any ideas? or any hints?
thanks,
best regards,
Yang

From 2.6.29 to 2.6.30 you could try to let git do the work. Try to
git merge (or rebase?), resolve the conflicts, build, boot and check
if everything is still working. If you create an extra branch for
this, you will break nothing and will know the effort afterwards ;)
Best regards
Dirk

Hi,
It is easy to do this.
Actually, regarding this, there is no need to ask for other,
Just do it.

Yes, you can only porting the files related your arch kernel such as
timer, irq , uart, and if errors occurs, just debug it, after kernel
porting finished, you can add your drivers to new platform.
If you meet some questions in above process, you can submit it here.I
think it is easier to get more people's help.
