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

: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
 * 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 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That's horribly out of date - and would be worthwhile to add links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
 * 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
