But for each board, it have dedicated kernel code package. For example, what I want to do first, it I can write kernel drivers and kernel code freely. I can easily add a I2C (AT24C02) device and finished its driver in a short time.
Wel, that's only actually helpful for the kernel if somebody's already done the port to that board (which it seems they have, since it already has a kernel package), and failed to add an I2C driver already. The other thing that you could do that would benefit the kernel is to take the vendor's code (which is probably some ancient creeping horror like 3.4 or even a 2.6.something), and get the drivers up to 4.6 level and get them upstreamed. Greg KH is almost certainly reading this, and he *loves* helping get drivers into the main kernel :) Greg, meet Aric. Aric, meet Greg. :)
Yeah, that sounds good.

I see what you did there. :)
Hi Valdis, Do you mean the Grag is "Greg KH"<greg@kroah.com>; ? But I'm still learning, where can I get a simple task to get into? The test task is also okay, pls give me test specification or what test env. it required. /BRs ------------------ Original ------------------ From: "Valdis.Kletnieks";<Valdis.Kletnieks@vt.edu>; Date: Fri, May 13, 2016 04:55 PM To: "Greg KH"<greg@kroah.com>; Cc: "Aric"<583241212@qq.com>; "Robert P.

There is no Grag, we only have Greg KH. Now that you are learning maybe you can start with http://eudyptula-challenge.org/ and: 1) never toppost 2) never send mime mails. regards sudip

A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text. Q: Why is top-posting such a bad thing? A: Top-posting. Q: What is the most annoying thing on usenet and in e-mail? Now do you understand?
