Well, in those 2 days, did you at-least check the site/wiki from which
you originally downloaded the image? Most of the pages clearly show
where the kernel came from.

if you report what kernel your using via: "uname -r" we can quickly
point you to it.

Regards,

Hi


I am having exactly the same issue, i am looking for the source code for linux-headers-3.8.13-bone79, which is there in my beaglebone black. I searched a lot and did exactly what they have said. The problem is it is fetching around 2GB of code from github as shown below in red

Yeah, that's kernel source repo.. The kernel headers aren't generated
our of thin air..

Thanks For the prompt reply Robert. I completely understand your point, But this is not the case with ubuntu source code, the uncompressed version takes around 600MB see below. Why the source code for Beaglebone black is too large, Does it mean that the source i am getting is the main tree and needs to be configured according to the Beaglebone config file. 

 Thanks

Your comparing apples and oranges.

Ubuntu kernel source that you have their is just a shallow snapshot of the Linux tree.

Whereas my script starts with the master git repo of Linux-stable, then checks out the kernel tag and patches it.
