[yocto] Using vendo kernel with Yocto

[João Henrique Freitas]

Hello,

I have this situation:

My vendor device provides a kernel (2.6.22.19) with a patch to its device.
The device is a arm920t. And the vendor is Mindspeed.

I want to use Yocto to build the kernel and userland. In the past the
vendor provided a very old debian-like userland.

I am trying the following:

- create a recipe to build the kernel 2.6.22.19 with patch to the device
supplied by vendor
- build a image using core-image-minimal only to boot the device
- I think that linux-libc-headers should be 2.6.22.19, but I am trying with
linux-libc-headers-yocto
- the device boots with kernel compiled with Yocto but I have some sort of
problems with boot scripts. I am investigating.

Questions:

With Yocto (1.2M3), I can use a kernel 2.6.22.19 with userland provide by
Yocto project?

What is the minimal version of the kernel supported by Yocto?

I have other way to choice like port the vendor patch to a newer kernel.
But I prefer trying these way for now.

Thanks.
