Papers and Presentation

Embedded Kernel Back-Porting A look at the motivation for and challenges in back-porting code from mainline to production kernels in the context of consumer electronics. Methods used by the presenter to producing such back-ports will also be discussed. The presentation is intended for those interested in details of how back-ports may be created. An understanding of patches, git, and the Linux Kernel development process would be an advantage.
