Hello,

I've an ARM SL3516 board with Linux 2.6.15 and I've tool-chain setup. I could able to compile the GPL source successfully. This board has red-boot.
I would like to update the kernel to 3.18.24. My first attempt so not sure about anything I should know, gotchas etc.

Any advice about the compilation , config will be appreciated.

Redboot has option to upgrade kernel. So I guess I can use it once I get the kernel image compiled.
I tried using the existing ".config" but there are lot more options asked while creating the config. Is there any way out of creating the ".config"?

Thanks in advance

Looking at the distribution, I don't see the "mach-sl2312" listed. Can you just copy it from the old distribution and does it work this way?
There is this "mach-gemini" but it seems only for some W boards.
