Hi @buldo , I'm trying to use this board an compile with 6.x kernel but I've got this warning:

$ bitbake -c compile virtual/kernel

It compiles but it fallbacks to version 5.15.91. Any idea on how to change this behaviour.

My layers are pointing to "mickledore" but if i change "langdale" for example nothing change.

on the other hand if compile for "orange-pi-zero2" board the kernel 6.1.9 is selected.

@ludiazv are you sure you're on master? On master we have:

PREFERRED_VERSION_linux-mainline ?= "6.1.%"

[ludiazv]

Yes. check this out:

bitbake -e virtual/kernel | grep ^PREFERRED_VERSION_linux
PREFERRED_VERSION_linux-libc-headers="6.1%"
PREFERRED_VERSION_linux-mainline="6.1.%"
PREFERRED_VERSION_linux-yocto="6.1%"
PREFERRED_VERSION_linux-yocto-rt="6.1%"

But the build process fallbacks to 5.15 showing the warnings on in my previous post. See the tmp/work area:

$ ls tmp/work/orange_pi_lite-poky-linux-musleabi/linux-mainline/
5.15.91-r0

the kernel compiles but not the version I expected by the comments from @buldo.

I found this problem while I was porting other board and wanted to check out If I can use 6.x appart from the oranpi zero 2.

Also I forgot to add that a change in /conf/machine/include/sunxi64.inc is needed to as it not has PREFERRED_VERISIONvariable set to 6.1.%.

Looks very strange. My PR only adds one file that specified device tree file and config from u-boot

Yes thats why I chose your board definition as it simple and in theory would work with the preferred version.
