Hi all,
I just downloaded the release notes for the L3.10.17_1.0.2
kernel release:
https://community.freescale.com/docs/DOC-102677
The kernel patches are easy to identify, and rebasing our
3.10.17_1.0.1_ga branch on top of them was pretty trivial.
The documentation (file i.MX_6_Yocto_Project_Patch_Release.pdf)
refers to updates to updates though:
• Graphics: gpu-viv-bin-mx6q, 3.10.17_1.0.2
• Graphics: gpu-viv-g2d, 3.10.17_1.0.2
• Graphics: Xorg-driver, 3.10.17_1.0.2
A quick scan of the kernel patches doesn't show any
obvious ABI changes, but since some bits are only
accessible through the closed-source libraries, it's
hard to tell.
In particular, it's not clear whether the changes (additions) to
enum _gcePATCH_ID require a simultaneous kernel/library update.
If so, then I'm not sure how/when to push an update to
meta-fsl-arm-extra for our kernel, since it will need to
be coordinated with meta-fsl-arm/recipes-graphics (and
probably other vendor kernels).
Please advise,
Eric
