How easy is it to use the newest upstream Linux kernel?

I am evaluating the real-time performance one can achieve using the BealgeV-Fire. Thus I am interested in getting the latest version of the Linux kernel as possible. I have already managed to use the Ubuntu repository to create an Image with the Microchip’s 6.12 kernel. As well as configuring the kernel to my liking. I see, however, that there is a git_linux_mainline.sh script.

How difficult is it to use the upstream 6.19 kernel instead? What needs to be done?

that was done a few years ago… i need to update it to the latest kernel/u-boot situation.. but yes mainline u-boot (with patch) and kernel is now possible.. linux-cip group has setup a few repos to do it now..

Regards,
