Hi,
When I build the linux-2.6.36 kernel (wl12xx wireless repo) using OpenEmbedded (OE), the kernel image that gets created has the name "Linux-2.6.36-rc8-wl"
However, when I build it from within TI CCS v5 (eclipse IDE), the resulting kernel image name has a + sign appended to the image name "Linux-2.6.36-rc8-wl+"
How can I prevent the + symbol from being prefixed to the kernel image name?
I'm using OE to build the rootfilesystem and the kernel driver modules, but using TI CCS v5 to incrementally modify my board definition file, and quickly compile the kernel and test it. Because of the + prefix, I'm unable to load kernel modules correctly due to the mismatch in the kernel image names.

I found the solution. You can disable the plus sign is the LOCALVERSION environment variable or make variable:
make LOCALVERSION= all
make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-angstrom-linux-gnueabi- LOCALVERSION= -j6 uImage

scripts/setlocalversion is the culprit. Read at the bottom of the file under
which conditions it adds the +.

Correct, kbuild will append '+' if you modify the source code unless you provide
LOCALVERSION=.
