Hi all,
For the upcoming 16.03 release of the reference platform, we've been working on a unified kernel that works on Hikey, Dragonboard 410c and also enables enterprise HW that we have access to (D02, Overdrive, APM XGene).
That kernel is now pushed to github[1] to the 96b/releases/2016.03 branch. It is based on the upstream kernel v4.4 and combines the work from the Hisilicon and Qualcomm landing teams with the enterprise bits coming from the Linaro Enterprise Group. A big thanks for their assistance in sorting out various integration issues.
Please note that this kernel tree will now be used only to host a unified kernel. The Hisilicon landing team has graciously agreed to modify their workflow and move their kernel tree to the 96boards-hikey namespace[2] on github.
I'll be talking about the experience of putting together this tree at Connect BKK16 (including some patch statistics) and soliciting feedback on the roadmap for this kernel tree - please get in touch if you have ideas.
Look forward to more information about the release itself from Ricardo later.
Regards, Amit
