Any advantages to using the mainline kernel - dkebler - 11-16-2019
I have installed the latest ayufuan bionic image with 4.4 kernel on a Rock64
Was thinking of switching to mainline kernel instead of 4.4 which I use on some other sbc's
https://github.com/ayufan-rock64/linux-build/blob/master/recipes/kernel-upgrade.md
In particular I need to support interrupts, pullup/down and epoll.
What if any advantages are there to moving to the mainline kernel?? Especially with regards the gpio buses, DTOs and such.
