Hello,


 


I'm new in kernel programming in embedded linux systems.


 


For the beggining, I'm trying to update the kernel version from 3.14 to 4.0.9 of Debian distribution.


For boot I'm using U-Boot, and my microcontroller is imx6 (ARM architecture).


 


I have the sources for the 4.0.9 kernel and for u-boot.


 


For my understanding, there is 5 stages to these procedure:



1) u-boot – build & compile


2) u-boot – burn to SD card


3) Kernel – build & compile


4) kernel – burn to SD card


5) boot


 


At the end, the process doesn't work.


I'm not familiar enough with this subject to start debug and find the problems.


 


My question is:

 


Is there a way to know if i did the first/second/third/forth/fifth stage correct and if it's works?


 


Thanks a lot,


Omer.
