Documentation how to correctly update the Robert Nelson kernel sources

Hi,

I have googled a lot to find a good instruction how to correctly
update the Robert Nelson kernel tree. They way I did it previously
always lead to not booting kernels after a while.

Where can I find a good documentation about this topic?

Thank you very much in advance for any help!
Best regards,

Hi,

It "depends" on the "tree"

Where can I find a good documentation about this topic?

Hi Robert,

thanks for your help.

The linked site I visit regulary, if my "tree"
doesn't produce booting kernels any more. Then I delete the
old tree and create a new one according to what is described here:

http://eewiki.net/display/linuxonarm/BeagleBone+Black

I entered "updating" as a more global keyword into the site search
of the linked site and what I got back are 244 defocussed screenshots. Sorry
for not clicking each to look, whether it is for what I am looking
for...

Unfortunately there is so much you can "update" when it comes to the
Beaglebone/Black

The procedure I used previously (and which lead to unbootable kernel
images after a while) is this:

From here

KERNEL
LICENSE
README
build_deb.sh
build_kernel.sh
deploy
dl
ignore
patch.sh
patches
repo_maintenance
scripts
system.sh
system.sh.sample
tools
version.sh

I do a

git pull
cd ignore/linux-src
git pull

Only track the "am33x-v3.8" and "am33x-v3.13" branches.

aka:

cd linux-dev
git checkout master -f
git branch -D tmp*
git pull
git checkout origin/am33x-v3.13 -b tmp

* assumption:
git branch will tell you.

If that's too much for you, with the latest images just:

cd /opt/scripts/tools/
git pull
./update_kernel.sh
