Hello,

I am trying to figure out which kernel version should I use with my OMAP2420 board (I would prefer one of the most recent versions).

I have downloaded repository from
git://source.mvista.com/git/linux-omap-2.6.git, and found that it contains few dozens of kernel versions; ten of them have "omap" as part of their names:

    v2.6.13-omap1
    v2.6.14-rc1-omap1
    v2.6.15-omap2
    v2.6.16-omap1
    v2.6.16-omap2
    v2.6.17-omap1
    v2.6.17-omap2
    v2.6.18-omap1
    v2.6.19-omap1
    v2.6.21-omap1

Are the "omap" versions specifically patched for OMAP boards ? Do I have a better chance of getting "omap" versions to work with OMAP2420 board then the versions which don't have "omap" in their names ?

Does anybody actually got any of these versions to work with OMAP2420 ?

Thanks in advance and regards,
Andray

Yes, -omap kernels are "stable" snapshots from linux-omap tree. They have more boards and drivers compared to Linus' tree. I recommend using the linux-omap git tree or latest stable release.

At least TI H4 and Nokia N800 are well supported in the linux-omap tree. Adding new boards is trivial.
