Re: [Ltib] iMx Kernel Developpement

[Stuart Hughes]

Hi Arnaud,

You'll need to contact Freescale to ask about their latest kernels.
What's in LTIB represents the latest I have in the common repository.

You need to ask Pengutronix about their kernel sources.

There are many different source trees around, this is because different
groups are focusing on different areas.

The best place to ask about which source tree to use is probably on the
ARM mailing list.

Regards, Stuart
