DTC arch/arm/boot/dts/zynq-parallella1-hdmi.dtb

I did the backups and copies in /dev/mmcblk0p1 followed by sync and reboot.
No HDMI output - kernel .config same as the original kernel
.

FB and CONFIG_FB_XILINX settings same as in the 3.12 kernel and /etc/X11/xorg.conf the same.

Thanks Andrew,
Good to know it wasn't anything I overlooked.
Keep up the good work.
Regards
Sid.

I built 3.14.12 5 days ago but it didn't boot.
"git pull" says it's already up to date.

I have never been able to get serial console messages to help identify problems.

For 3.14.12
CONFIG_SERIAL_CORE=y
CONFIG_SERIAL_CORE_CONSOLE=y
CONFIG_USB_SERIAL=y
CONFIG_USB_SERIAL_CP210X=y
CONFIG_USB_SERIAL_PL2303=y
root@parallella-16:/a1/parallella-linux# ls -l /dev/ttyPS0
crw-rw---- 1 root dialout 251, 0 Jan 1 1970 /dev/ttyPS0

3.12.0-g0bc9c3a-dirty
CONFIG_SERIAL_CORE=y
CONFIG_SERIAL_CORE_CONSOLE=y
CONFIG_SERIAL_XILINX_PS_UART=y
CONFIG_SERIAL_XILINX_PS_UART_CONSOLE=y

I followed the regular instructions:-
// Check out from GIT
git clone https://github.com/parallella/parallella-linux

cd parallella-linux

// Build config
make mrproper
make parallella_defconfig

// Change all modules to be compiled in (edit .config and swap =m with =y)
vi .config

// Make kernel
make -j 4 LOADADDR=0x8000 uImage

// Make DeviceTree
make zynq-parallella1-hdmi.dtb

// Mount boot partition
sudo mount /dev/mmcblk0p1 /mnt

// Move old files out of the way
sudo mv /mnt/uImage /mnt/uImage.bak
sudo mv /mnt/devicetree.dtb /mnt/devicetree.dtb.bak

// Copy new files into place
sudo cp arch/arm/boot/uImage /mnt/uImage
sudo cp arch/arm/boot/dts/zynq-parallella1-hdmi.dtb /mnt/devicetree.dtb

// Reboot and pray
sudo sync
sudo reboot
