Hi, I would like to add more questions on the discussion, that again is not
related to buildroot.​ First off all I'm really a newbie on embedded linux
development.

I'm also working on a beaglebone black project using buildroot to build
all. Recently I need to change some pin modes, and every googling about it,
leads to capemanager, witch is provided by 'beagleboard kernel' (
https://github.com/beagleboard/kernel). Also every one saying something
about compile a kernel to beaglebone points to this kernel (the 3.8
version).

So I've decided to change things on my project to build this kernel outside
buildroot. But I'm not sure about this, witch is the recommended kernel to
use with beaglebone black?
