7 years agoHello sir,
The 4.8.3 refers to the GCC compiler, and 7.2 is the Linaro version.
For linux kernel, you can select any Linaro version and compile it. its not requiring SoC EDS environment.
You can refer to this link:
https://rocketboards.org/foswiki/Documentation/GSRDCompilingLinux
It shows you the two methods of creating Linux kernel:
1- Build kernel and Rootfs using Angstrom (bitbake approach).
2- Building kernel and U-boot Separately. (which will build only the zImage).
Hope that can help.
Thanks
