Release Notes

Release Date: March 26, 2012

Read This First
The kernel sources packaged in this release do not have the required PM firmware binary already copied in the firmware/ folder of the kernel sources. Due to this building the kernel using the default kernel configuration will fail with this error:

MK_FW  firmware/am335x-pm-firmware.bin.gen.S make[2]: *** No rule to make target `firmware/am335x-pm-firmware.bin', needed by `firmware/am335x-pm-firmware.bin.gen.o'. Stop. make[1]: *** [firmware] Error 2 make: *** [uImage] Error 2

To resolve this, after you untar the kernel sources, copy the firmware binary into the firmware/ folder of kernel sources

$ cd /AM335X-LINUX-PSP-04.06.00.07/src/firmware $ tar xf pm-firmware-04.06.00.07.tar.gz $ cp pm-firmware-04.06.00.07/bin/am335x-pm-firmware.bin ../../src/kernel/linux-04.06.00.07/firmware

Then, continue with the kernel build procedure as documented in User's Guide. This issue will be resolved with the next release.
