[meta-freescale] R: R: R: # IMX53 GSTREAMER PROBLEMS

Tue Oct 1 10:16:02 PDT 2013

Hello Daiane,
sorry for late reply.

Our base kernel is from kernel.org and we apply the 11.05 patches
(downloaded from freescale website, not from git).
Probably this version of FSL patch is too old for gst-fsl-plugin? How I can
check?
I wouldn't change the kernel version now, there is a way to change the
gst-fsl-plugin version, to fit my kernel?

Thank you
Simone

ok, which linux kernel source? from git.freescale.com or from kernel.org?

that's ok. I think.

I would create my local git repository and update my kernel recipe only to
change the tag/commit hash will be downloaded.

What do you mean? Please, let me know from which repository are you 
downloading the source code, and the branch you've cheking out.
