Is there a document or something that describes the differences between the --bone, --armv7, and --ti kernels? Why to choose one over the other? etc....
I've been using the --ti --lts-4_14, but recent versions are completely broken for advanced WIFI use cases so I'm kind of trying to figure out what options I have to replace it. Sometime between 4.14.13-ti-r25 and the current 4.14 version, someone made the boneheaded (pun intended, no offense intended) to include the USB wifi adapters as builtins instead of modules. This completely breaks any usage of external wifi modules that work "better" (or in some cases, actually work). We cannot blacklist the builtin modules (even tried the command line params, didn't work). And even without blacklist, they don't work as the firmwares needed by the wifi adapters are not included in the initial rd. I'm not sure why they are now built in instead of modules, but it's certainly a huge step backwards IMO. I can stay on 4.14.13-ti-r25 which works fine, but I'm not sure what fixes and such I'd be missing out on going forward. The --bone kernels don't seem to have btrfs which, while not critical, is something we've been looking closer at for the COW and compression. The armv7 kernel seems to work for both btrfs and wifi, but I really don't know what else I'm missing out on with that version. -- For more options, visit http://beagleboard.org/discuss --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "BeagleBoard" group.
