Re: looking for information on kernel programming and device trees for the Raspberry Pi 4 in Ubuntu

I dug up a saved image I'd made of an installation of the system with kernel version 1008, and I am thus able to run kernels I've built from 1009-vintage source again, but I'd still like to know where to get the most recent version of the kernel source. Thanks.

Re: looking for information on kernel programming and device trees for the Raspberry Pi 4 in Ubuntu

Thanks very much for your reply! At the moment, I have a very basic question: I pulled a copy of the the source tree for the pi 4 a while back, maybe a couple of months ago, by doing this: git clone --depth=1 git://git.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-kernel/ubuntu/+source/linux/+git/focal -b raspi I was able ...

looking for information on kernel programming and device trees for the Raspberry Pi 4 in Ubuntu

I'm attempting to come up to speed with kernel programming for the Raspberry Pi 4 in Ubuntu, starting from zero, but having extensive experience with kernel programming in a different operating system in the past. I've learned a modest amount by general web searches, reading source code, inserting d...
