Mainline Kernel / Third party Linux distributions
Great efforts have been made to ensure our boards are supported by the mainline Linux kernel and U-boot boot-loader. It's a straight forward process to adapt any Linux distribution you feel is appropriate for your application for use with a Gateworks board, provided the mainline kernel is being used. We are glad to offer support for questions regarding mainline kernel, and U-boot boot-loader issues, though issues that may be encountered in any given distro's user-space are too varied to provide accurate answers. If you encounter an issue in user-space we suggest you utilize forums specific to this distro, or recreate the issue using a BSP Gateworks officially supports, see above. Before selecting a kernel version see our errata pages to check compatibility.
