Are you considering to use newer kernel on Edison? #44
Comments
I'm not sure what you mean by "vanilla", but we would love to use a newer kernel. If we could get to 4.5+ we could natively support the CC2520 that we have on some of our boards. |
Vanilla is a standard name of upstream available kernel. v4.11-rc1 supports almost everything important on Intel Edison out-of-the box, including x86_64 build. The progress on it is described on community wiki. |
@nealjack thoughts? It'd be great to jump up, but the missing power unit and power button support (esp the latter) give me some pause. |
@ppannuto
Regarding power button, I would ask Ingo Molnar or Thomas Gleixner to apply rest of the patches which are needed to enable it (actually one patch is needed) to next v4.11-rcX. I can't promise it will go to it, so v4.12 is for sure. Don't hesitate to ask any question either by email (public mailing lists, Intel community forums, etc.) or thru GitHub. |
When I find some time this week, I'll give the new kernel a try. I wasn't aware Intel was still maintaining the Edison kernel. I built the current Signpost image from what is available from here, and used a Debian rootfs. |
@nealjack My kernel is unofficial. I'm doing this most likely as a hobby because I like the hardware and platform. |
Power Button support is in v4.11-rc3 (and so in my branch here on GitHub). |
Hi @andy-shev, |
@vsobolyev UPDATE. |

Just wondering if you are considering to switch to vanilla kernel at some point.
