You could try to copy the 3.10 recipe and just fixc the revision to point to
the old version. the kernels buildsystem have not changes dramatically since
then I think/hope :)

I have a custom kernel and drivers I built for an Atmel AT91SAM9x5ek system on a chip, and I'd like to use them with yocto to build a distribution.

The original documentation, support CD, etc are all based around an open embedded build from 2011, which doesn't seem to work any longer. Yocto looks like a great alternative, but wants to build the 3.10 kernel, which I don't think supports this SoC any longer. So, is there a straight forward method of building a standard Poky root filesystem, but with a custom recipe for the 2.6.39 kernel instead of the stock one?

I use a 2.6.35 kernel on my own overlay. One thing i ran into with an older kernel and new toolchain is the need for the -mno-unaligned-access compile flag.


My example:
