>  1. get current kernel (3.18.12+) from raspberry pi github repository. I've

> and repackaged it as linux-rpi-3.18.y.tar.gz
>
>  2. put new kernel tarball in nard tree in apps/linux-kernel
>
>  3. run make clean for nard
>
>  4. switch your project to new kernel version: edit Rules.mk for your
> project, and change:
>
> PKGS_APPS += linux-kernel/linux-rpi-3.10.y
>
> to
>
> PKGS_APPS += linux-kernel/linux-rpi-3.18.y
>
>  5. replace apps/linux-kernel/Makefile with Makefile attached to this mail.
> It essentially adds "LOCALVERSION=" to build and install commands, to get
> rid of "+" sign from kernel version string
>
>  6. copy attached kernel config to platform/$yourapp/ to use it during nard
> build - i tried to use 3.10.y config wchich came with nard (of course make
> config asked a lot of additional questions during build), but i couldn't

> current kernel and tried to strip as much unnecessary stuff from it as i
> could/knew - it needs some cleanup, but it works

>  7. rebuild your project
>
> I'm also attaching bootlog for review.
