[meta-xilinx] Linux kernel differences between met-xilinx and kernel.org?

[Sandeep Gundlupet Raju]

Hi Ralf,

AFAIK some of our video driver are not yet upstream so we have separate branches for video(2017.x_video_ea) and I assume this will be done in 2018.1 release.

If you are using Zynq-7000 series devices everything should be upstream.

Refer http://www.wiki.xilinx.com/Linux+Drivers these drivers are owned by Xilinx.

Also you can refer http://www.wiki.xilinx.com/Linux%20Release%20Notes (2017.1-2017.4) for 4.9 driver patches submitted by Xilinx.

Thanks,
Sandeep

Subject: [meta-xilinx] Linux kernel differences between met-xilinx and kernel.org?

Hello!

I am using Yocto and meta-xilinx to build the Linux kernel 4.9 for a Zynq XC7Z030. Now, in my organization some people said that:

"Xilinx currently runs a custom Linux distribution which ... has patches to the kernel by Xilink which are not accepted yet in the upstream Linux kernel."

So, my question is:
What are the differences of the Xilinx Linux kernel w.r.t. to the Linux kernel (from kernel.org)?

With my best regards,

Ralf Spiwoks, CERN
