Latest kernel with capemgr support

Postby crankshaft » Sun Nov 09, 2014 12:10 am

I Just realized that there are posts on here from users who are running a much newer kernel (3.16) than the 3.8 version I am running.

I am facing problems with intermittent failure to reboot, which I believe may have been fixed in kernel 3.13.

I have just done a fresh install using: http://archlinuxarm.org/os/ArchLinuxARM ... est.tar.gz and that installs 3.8.13-35-ARCH

But there is no attempt to update the kernel when I run pacman -Syu so how do I get the latest kernel that other posters seem to be using ?

Re: Getting the latest kernel version

Well I think I have solved this.

It appears that the only kernel that CURRENTLY is fully functional and includes capemgr is the legacy version 3.8.
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '
linux-am33x-legacy
linux-headers-am33x-legacy
')

If I install the latest with:

$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '
pacman -S linux-am33x linux-am33x-headers
')
Then cape manager support is not there.

I hope this saves someone else some time !

Any overlay that uses "ocp" will have a problem with non-legacy kernels, because not all "features" for that were ported, and things have changed, but cape definitions might not have changed architecturally to match. However, I believe the people behind capemgr are working on that.
