Porting my BSP to higher Kernel Versions
Dear Experts, I have a working BSP which runs on Kernel 2.6.10. Now I wanted to upgrade my BSP to higher versions like, 2.6.24. Is there any documentation/steps available to do so? Regards, Ramya

2.6.24? Are you sure? This release is also *very* old. Port your BSP to mainline and get it merged, everything else is a waste of time!

Find out what has changed between 2.6.10 and your target kernel and fix your drivers/modifications. -- Thanks, //richard

The latest stable kernel is 3.5.2 (http://kernel.org/) If you just want to upgrade your kernel from 2.6.10 to 2.6.24, you may get incremental patches from http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/ . Your BSP may have to be updated with the upgraded kernel's APIs. All the best.
