kernel for Android 4.4.4

[s.rawat]

Hi, 

Earlier I have built kernel(kernel 3.0.31) and Android for Pandaboard(4.1,4.3 and 4.4.4, and even 4.4.4_r2)

All the Android version go smooth with kernel 3.0.31.

Now I want kernel to be changed to 3.15+(3.18,3.19).

From the https://source.android.com/source/building-kernels.html

by following below steps : 

$ git clone https://android.googlesource.com/device/ti/panda
$ cd panda
$ git log --max-count=1 kernel

I could get this : 

Author: Jean-Baptiste Queru <j...@google.com>

Date:   Mon Dec 3 18:57:54 2012 -0800

    New PandaBoard kernel

    

    Built from kernel cb5fc502c60be9305c5a007be335e860d9e7c0cb

    

    cb5fc50 Revert "I2C: OMAP: correct SYSC register offset for OMAP4"

    623520a ARM:Panda: Add TI ST HCI flag

    582ab23 Bluetooth: Add tty HCI driver

    

    Change-Id: Ib3d6b2c809f0f88586455c4056f92511a845c70b

and the kernel version as  Linux version 3.0.31-gcb5fc50 (j...@jqueru.mtv.corp.google.com) (gcc version 4.6.x-google 20120106 (prerelease) (GCC) ) #1 SMP PREEMPT Mon Dec 3 18:52:22 PST 2012

by following below  : 

$ dd if=kernel bs=1 skip=$(LC_ALL=C grep -a -b -o $'\x1f\x8b\x08\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00' kernel | cut -d ':' -f 1) | zgrep -a 'Linux version'

Now how can I get the kernel vers 3.15 or higher for Android 4.4.4+.Is it supported or do i have to take plain vanila kernel from the linux.kernel.org and config it for pandaboard.

Or is there some other distribution for the same(Linaro??)

Please suggest !

Linaro supported Android builds for Pandaboard are still on 3.2.0
primarily due to hardware graphics (SGX) dependency. If you can live
without hardware graphics then try one for the pandaboard kernels from
here: https://github.com/RobertCNelson/armv7-multiplatform/. You can
find build and install instructions here:
https://eewiki.net/display/linuxonarm/PandaBoard#PandaBoard-LinuxKernel.
I believe it is vanilla Pandaboard kernel so you may have to pull in
Android kernel topic branch for your kernel from here:
https://android.git.linaro.org/gitweb/kernel/linaro-android.git.

Please take a closer at my kernel config.  If you don't understand
what makes the linux config boot up with android root file system. We
just won't be able to help you.

If you are looking for Android + Kernel 3.18 option, then this
official experimental Android tree
https://android.googlesource.com/kernel/common/+log/experimental/android-3.18
is your best bet. Merge it in the Pandaboard 3.18 kernel you are
using. It should give you Android booting on Pandaboard, with limited
features though.
