I have troubles with older versions of the Linux kernel on ARM. Anything older than 3.2 either doesn't boot or is unstable. Kernel only, user code built with 4.7+ seems to be fine. Since I need to use those older kernels and I don't have the time/budget to figure out why they don't work with 4.7+, I'm sticking with 4.6+ for now. -- ------------------------------------------------------------ Gary Thomas | Consulting for the MLB Associates | Embedded world ------------------------------------------------------------
