Hello,
I am trying to find Linux kernel source for BeagleV-Ahead. Based on the output of “uname -a” I need to find this version of the source “Linux BeagleV 5.10.113-g52fbe8443ea1-dirty”. I have been unable to find the source so far (I want to build perf and patch the kernel). Along the same lines, how can I update the kernel version on the BeagleV-Ahead board? I have done this with a raspberry pi, but I am struggling to figure out how to do this on the beagle board. Any advice would be appreciated.
Best,
Connor

Thanks for the pointer! I’ve gone through the process of patching the source as I need. I started with the 5.10.113. The only way I could see to update the kernel on the board was to reflash the board using 07_fastboot_emmc.sh. This flashes all partitions however. I am trying to move to the 6.6.x branch of the xuantie-ubuntu repo. I would like to not have to flash all partitions. Looking inside the fasboot_emmc.sh script I tried to simply flash the boot partition, but it doesn’t seem to do anything (uname -a on the board doesn’t change).
Any tips?
Can you share the steps you went through to to update the kernel version?
The method I have found to work (reflashing the entire board) simply required me to pull down xuantie-ubuntu repo (https://git.beagleboard.org/beaglev-ahead/xuantie-ubuntu/-/tree/v6.6.x?ref_type=heads) and then walk through all seven scripts contained within. This method of course reflashes all partitions, which is a bit painful. I was hoping doing all scripts but script seven and then running “fastboot flash boot ./deploy/boot.ext4” would update the kernel version, but that didn’t work.
