Hi Kaushal, 

 

I am looking for an answer to the same question. I am working on the arrow sockit board too. I am trying to execute a bash script, but because the kernel of the linux distribution (linaro 13.04) I am using is 3.12* I get the message that I should have a 3.13* kernel instead of 3.12*. 

I tried to follow the instructions of this page : http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/linux-kernel-upgrade-howto/ 

and precisely, the section "upgrade the kernel in Debian or Ubuntu Linux" but when I type the command apt-cache search linux-image I get a lot of versions (for different platforms, other that arm cortex a 9) and I don't know which one to install. 

I tried to follow the instructions of this page too : http://ubuntuhandbook.org/index.php/2014/04/installupgrade-to-linux-kernel-3-14-in-ubuntu-or-linux-mint/ 

but the .deb packages that I download are for amd64 and not arm. 

 

Does anyone have a suggestion as of how to solve this problem?

The Kernel is available on
