Hi,

Hi Amit,

...

I have started trying my hands on BBB. When I use this repo, https://github.com/RobertCNelson/linux-dev to build BBB kernel, patches are applied on mainline/stable kernel release.

When I build mainline kernel, there is not any defconfig for BBB (there is omap2plus).

Should BBB specific patches be sent to the mailing list step by step?

By looking at [1] Buildroot beaglebone defconfig, it suggests that beaglebon is using omap2plus as defconfig and seems like it uses [2]am335x-boneblack.dts, which is already there in mainline.

[1] https://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/tree/configs/beaglebone_defconfig#n11 [2] https://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/tree/configs/beaglebone_defconfig#n13

Thank you for your quick reply. Mainline kernel build is going on BBB with omap2plus_defconfig. There is another option, to use repo, https://github.com/beagleboard/linux with bb.org_defconfig It is always possible to configure kernel as required. Leave issue of defconfig behind. Mainly I am worried about patches not in upstream/mainline kernel. I'm going to compare above repository and mainline kernel source.

Thanks a lot, Shyam
