Best Kernel release to use with remoteproc, PRUs, C on PRU.

But I don’t know if I should stay with 4.19, upgrade to a 5.x version or just install updated packages. apt doesn’t show any available package updates for the PRU for 4.19 (and I admit I am a novice on this so maybe I didn’t run the command correctly to find them).

4.19.x-ti is a really supported branch, I’ve mostly locked Debian Buster (10.x) to stay on 4.19.x-ti… you can change this with:

[ARMHF] Debian 10.x/11.x/12.x Kernel Updates

I’m looking to end the “update_kernel.sh” script, in Debian 10.x/11.x i’m working meta packages for kernel branches for users to more easily stay on a LTS kernel: Example For example, to stay on v5.10.x-ti for the am335x just run: sudo apt update sudo apt install bbb.io-kernel-5.10-ti-am335x sudo reboot Upgrades: sudo apt update ; sudo apt upgrade All Options (only install one, if you install 2, your upgrades will swap between…) *-ti branches: These follow, TI’s lts branch for as long as…

But most of the userspace will assume v4.19.x-ti…

Where as with Debian (11.x) Bullseye, everything is setup for 5.10.x-ti…

So grab a spare microSD, try Debian 11.x with 5.10.x-ti here:

Debian 11.x (Bullseye) - Monthly Snapshot - 2023-10-07

to see if it’s fixed any of the odd pru/remotproc issues you saw…
