7 years ago --- Quote Start --- It looks like most of the history supporting dev kits has been deleted by someone. socfpga-4.1-ltsi is not a file, it is a branch, and it is missing along with many others. I am hoping that an admin somewhere may shed some light on the missing history. This has broken things for anyone using older Kernel versions referred to by many dev board vendors, and is rather disruptive and destructive, not to mention a probable violation of the GPL as this source is baseline for many reference designs... Does SOMEONE in the community know if/when this might get repaired -- and for the curious a how and why? --- Quote End --- jackfrye11: Did you ever get a build working? I can say with some confidence that old versions will not be coming back; here is what I understand now: The current build will be updated every few (~6) months and, if the branch is changed, any old branches will be deleted. The ltsi branch will be updated every year, so long-term means until Intel drops it in a few months... So, if you found a working repo, make sure you keep a local copy safe and secure...
