Re: [Ltib] iMx Kernel Developpement

[Arnaud Derasse]

Hi,

I thought that LTIB was an internal Freescale Project.
If you tell me to contact freescale, I guess that LTIB and freescale are 
not anymore related.
Last time I asked freescale, they told me to use kernel in LTIB repos.

For the moment I am using the 2.6.24 kernel from your GPP repos. I think 
I will keep on using it. But, is there a git repository for that kernel 
developpement ?  Maybe I could contribute.

Regards,

Arnaud
