Talk:Android Kernel Versions
Update needed
Hey shouldn't be this updated ? I would happily do this if I knew how - I asked at SO but no reply yet : http://stackoverflow.com/questions/19413267/android-kernel-repositories-confusion
- Android git kernel trees
- As of July 2010 !?!
- http://android.git.kernel.org/ --> broken since for ever. Should be https://android.googlesource.com/ ? What is https://android.googlesource.com/Kernel-Projects/ ?
- Note that the experimental tree is now a bunch of branches in kernel/common (?) - and where is kernel/linux-2.6.git ? Would be worthwhile to include those deletions/moves in the article. Kernel trees (am I right ?) :
:kernel/common Common Android Kernel Tree :kernel/exynos :kernel/goldfish :kernel/lk :kernel/msm Kernel tree for Qualcomm chipsets :kernel/omap :kernel/samsung Kernel tree for Samsung systems on Android. :kernel/tegra
- Kernel versions known to run Android
That's horribly out of date - and would be worthwhile to add links
I came here for info so can't help much - some Linux boy/girl ?
Suggested edit for Android git kernel trees
- As of July 2010, the android repository on kernel.org (the link is dead and left for reference) had the following kernel trees:
-
- kernel/common.git
- This is the kernel tree that matches what is put into official Android products by Google or its partners
- kernel/experimental.git
- some experimental stuff
- kernel/linux-2.6.git
- mirror of Linus' kernel tree. This is a reference for the kernel tree used in Android
- kernel/lk.git
- not a kernel tree, but a bootloader
- kernel/msm.git
- kernel for MSM (Qualcomm chip used in many HTC products)
- kernel/omap.git
- mirror of kernel tree maintained by texas instruments., supporting OMAP chips. usually based on kernel.org latest version, android products w OMAP chip can use this kernel port.
- kernel/tegra.git
- nvidia kernel tree
- As of now (November 2013) the android git repositories seem to have 7 trees :
-
- kernel/common.git
- kernel/exynos --> ???
- kernel/goldfish --> ???
- kernel/lk.git
- not a kernel tree, but a bootloader (citation ??)
- kernel/msm.git
- kernel for MSM (Qualcomm chip used in many HTC products)
- kernel/omap.git
- mirror of kernel tree maintained by texas instruments., supporting OMAP chips. usually based on kernel.org latest version, android products w OMAP chip can use this kernel port.
- kernel/tegra.git
- nvidia kernel tree
