The predifined Mini6410 platform configuration always uses the latest Linux
kernel release. If users want to stay with an older Linux kernel release,
-they are also available. Here is a list of currently available Linux kernel
-releases in the \ptxdistBSPName{}:
+they are still available and also some of them are still maintained. Here is a
+list of currently available Linux kernel releases in the \ptxdistBSPName{}:
\begin{itemize}
- \item 3.1, stable patch level 10
\item \curKernelRev{}, stable patch level 10 (defaultl)
+ \item 3.1 *), stable patch level 10
\item 3.0, stable patch level 67
- \item 2.6.39, stable patch level 4
+ \item 2.6.39 *), stable patch level 4
\end{itemize}
+*) end of life, no further stable releases will be available
If we want to build the BSP with a non-default kernel release, we just run
\texttt{ptxdist platformconfig} and change the kernel setting prior to building.
