Welcome to the linux-intel-4.9 wiki!

the linux-intel-4.9 kernel tree is a production or vendor tree that contains enabling for Intel CPU's that may be up-streamed in a newer kernel version.

these kernels have been tested on Broxton / Apollo Lake SOC based platforms.

the structure of the tree will be as follows:

• master -- mirror of linux-stable/linux-4.9.y branch.
• base -- publicly released enabling used as part of "production" kernels common to vertical OS stacks such as Yocto and Android for now. This "base" branch is intended to feed some of yocto's BSP kernels and contains no Android related patches. Almost all the patches in base are to be backports from an upstream tracking tree.
• base-rt -- a PREEMPT-RT version of base

The non-experimental branches are to be non-rebasing after the initial posting and structuring is sorted out, and will be sustained with security fixes through the end of community support of linux-4.9.y.

There will also be branches under the "experimental" namespace. These are rebasing and sometimes temporary branches used for testing and collaboration before cutting the non-rebasing version.

• experimental/* -- contains branches that will be removed or rebased without warning.
• experimental/4.4-origin -- the source of the changes cherry-picked into experimental/base.
• experimental/base-new-drm -- test version of base with updated DRM patches back ported.
