Dear Experts,
I applied realtime patches for RB5 by following the instructions of enabling RT patches for Dragonboard 845c.
The kernel I used : working/qualcomm/kernel.git - Qualcomm Landing Team kernel, branch release/rb5/qcomlt-5.12,
The patches : https://mirrors.edge.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/projects/rt/5.12/patch-5.12-rc3-rt3.patch.xz
I was trying to generate the boot image manually to be used with Debian Sid 65, 66 (as instructed in https://releases.linaro.org/96boards/dragonboard845c/linaro/debian/latest/ or in Build & Update Linux kernel for Debian/OpenEmbedded - 96Boards) as well as automatically within YoctoEmbedded. But in both cases, I always struggled with the following crash :

Observing that the kernel version of the Linaro branch is 5.12.0-rc6, while the RT-patches’ version is 5.12-rc3 as latest at the time of writing, do you think that this version mismatch could be the cause of the crash?
Should I also try with older kernel releases that seem to support RB5 under Linaro repository as well ? Currently I find 4 related branches for RB5 :
release/rb5/qcomlt-5.10
release/rb5/qcomlt-5.11
release/rb5/qcomlt-5.12
release/rb5/qcomlt-5.9
I wonder if they are all maintained and work well on RB5, please !?!?
Thanks in advance and look forward to receiving your advice!
K.
