building kernel instructions

[idata]

is there a new kernel build guide for edison? build kernel edisonbsp_ug_331188007.pdf says

tar xvf edison-src.tgz cd edison-src/

where is the latest edison-sr.tgz ? the latest download appear to be a zip ?

I downloaded and uncompressed the latest source ( large 1.2gb file ) into ubuntu 16.01 running in virtual box but I need edison-src.tgz

I am assuming I need the large yokto source and the intel BSP recipies? is that correct ?

Hello bennnn,

Thanks for reaching out!The BSP guide you mentioned is a little bit out of date, nevertheless, you can find the instructions on how to build Edison's image in a file included on the source code. You can find the latest source code in https://iotdk.intel.com/src/3.5/edison/. The file with the instructions is called README.edison.In case you have any doubts about how to use the BSP and its tools, I'd suggest you to read Yocto's Mega Manual ( http://www.yoctoproject.org/docs/1.7.3/mega-manual/mega-manual.html), this documents contains a lot of useful information about Yocto's BSP and all of its tools.I hope this helps.-Peter.
