Anders,

The last supported kernel version for TI8148 was 2.6.37. There was still some 
work being done to fix reported issues (look around arago-project.org repos), 
but no new versions were planned or worked on. One of the biggest reasons to 
remove the support from meta-ti/danny was due to everyone expecting to get it 
updated to 3.x (which wasn't happening) and also because we were starting to 
see more and more incompatibilities between 2.6.37 kernel and new toolchains 
and new userspace system tools, like udev/systemd etc.

So, your best bet would be to either start with a corresponding EzSDK for that 
platform, or try to match toolchain and userspace that was available around 
the time 2.6.37 was relevant...
