lists.linaro.org maintenance completed

by IT Services

This is to let you know that the migration of lists.linaro.org has been successfully completed. As per the email I sent on Wednesday, it may take some time for the new address of the server to be seen by your computer. You can check this by trying to connect to the web site: http://lists.linaro.org/ If you are able to connect and you do not get an error, this means you are connecting to the new server and you can send email to the lists. If you experience any problems after the weekend and you find that you still cannot connect to the server, please reply to this email to let us know. Regards Philip IT Services Manager Linaro

HW-decoded video playback on Panda

by Martin Siegumfeldt

Hi, In https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AkxwyUNxNaAadGVWd3pZazdaRUU0Mn… there's an entry called 'hwvideo - wm', I assume this is a test case of HW-decoded video playback - can anyone confirm this? I am puzzled as the Ducati binary does not seem to be copied to the SD-card and the boot log does not indicate that the binary is loaded (tested on 13.02 release). Playing the file from https://bugs.launchpad.net/linaro-android/+bug/1033953yields a rather high CPU load indicating at SW-decoding. Does Linaro actually track this use case? Thanks, Martin

Planned maintenance - lists.linaro.org

by IT Services

Hello You are receiving this email because you are subscribed to one or more mailing lists provided by the lists.linaro.org server. IT Services are announcing planned maintenance for this server scheduled for *Friday 15th March 2013, starting at 2pm GMT*. The purpose of the work is to move the service to another server. There will be some disruption during this maintenance. In order to ensure that you do not accidentally try to use the service while it is being moved, the current server will be shut down at 2pm. A further email will be sent on Friday afternoon to confirm that the migration of the service is completed. However, due to the way servers are found, it may take a while before your computer is able to connect to the relocated service. After the old server has been shut down, email sent to any of the lists will be queued, but it is possible that the sending server will still trying to deliver the email to the old server rather than the new one when it is started. It is therefore *strongly* recommended that you do not send any email to an @lists.linaro.org email address until you can connect to the new service, which you will be able to test by trying to use a web browser to connect to http://lists.linaro.org after you receive the email confirming that the migration has been completed. Since the old service will be shut down, if you are able to connect, you can be sure you have connected to the new service. If by Monday you are still unable to connect to the service or you are not able to send email to an @lists.linaro.org email address, please send an email to its(a)linaro.org. Thank you. Regards Philip IT Services Manager Linaro

Cannot flash the SD Card

by Mikel G

Hello: My name is Mikel and I am trying to boot pandaboard with Linaro-Android for an application of my bachelor thesis. I have tried to boot the board in another ways and now I found that this way is the easiest one, however I have one error from the terminal. I cannot understand what the terminal is telling me, I think that something is crashing, but my programming knowledge is not the best. I followed all the instructions of the following video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_neq4pAlkuo This is the message that the terminal is throwing: ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ /home/ubuntu/linaro-image-tools-2013.02/linaro-android-media-create --mmc /dev/sdc1 --dev panda --boot boot.tar.bz2 --system system.tar.bz2 --userdata userdata.tar.bz2 --mmc /dev/sdc1 Traceback (most recent call last): File "/home/ubuntu/linaro-image-tools-2013.02/linaro-android-media-create", line 28, in <module> from linaro_image_tools.media_create.android_boards import ( File "/home/ubuntu/linaro-image-tools-2013.02/linaro_image_tools/media_create/__init__.py", line 25, in <module> from linaro_image_tools.media_create.boards import board_configs File "/home/ubuntu/linaro-image-tools-2013.02/linaro_image_tools/media_create/boards.py", line 28, in <module> from parted import Device ImportError: No module named parted I wonder if you could help my to find out the solution to this because I am desperate with this stuff. It's a week since I am trying to boot the Pandaboard and no results. Thanks in advanced for your help :)

Black screen error trying to virtualize android-linaro with qemu-linaro on the pandaboard ES and on the arm chromebook

Hello to everybody. I'm trying to virtualize Linaro-Android 4 with qemu-linaro on two different kind of machines : 1) Pandaboard ES running Ubuntu with this kernel : Linux arm 3.7.2-x6 #1 SMP Sat Jan 12 07:16:37 UTC 2013 armv7l armv7l armv7l GNU/Linux 2) Samsung XE303C12-A01US Chromebook running CHR Ubuntu with this kernel : Linux localhost.localdomain 3.4.0-5-chromebook #5-Ubuntu SMP Fri Feb 8 14:54:53 UTC 2013 armv7l armv7l armv7l GNU/Linux To accomplish the goal I made the experiments with two versions of qemu-linaro : 1) qemu-linaro-1.3.0-2012.12 2) qemu-linaro 1.4 from the GIT rep In both cases I configured qemu-linaro with these parameters : --disable-kvm --disable-tcg-interpreter --enable-curses --enable-sdl --enable-vnc --disable-debug-tcg --enable-vhost-net I tried to follow two different kind of tutorials : 1) http://www.linuxforu.com/2011/06/qemu-for-embedded-systems-development-part… 2) https://wiki.linaro.org/KenWerner/Sandbox/AndroidQEMU?highlight=%28QEMU%29|…<https://wiki.linaro.org/KenWerner/Sandbox/AndroidQEMU?highlight=%28QEMU%29%…> On the TUTORIAL n. 1: 1) Created a small test program, test.c, with the basic “Hello world”: #include<stdio.h> int main(){ printf("Welcome to Open World\n"); } # gcc test.c -o test 2) Built the Linux kernel for ARM # tar -jxvf linux-2.6.37.tar.bz2 (but I tried with a lot of other kernel versions) # cd linux-2.6.37 # make menuconfig ARCH=arm # make ARCH=arm uImage -s # qemu-system-arm -M versatilepb -m 128M -kernel /home/user/Desktop/linux-2.6.37/arch/arm/boot/uImage RESULT = black screen inside the qemu-linaro window without error messages 3) Developed a dummy filesystem (hello.c) for testing #include<stdio.h> int main(){ while(1){ printf("Hello Open World\n"); getchar(); } } # gcc hello.c -static -o hello 4) Created a root filesystem # echo hello | cpio -o --format=newc > rootfs 5) Testing : qemu-system-arm -M versatilepb -m 128M -kernel /home/user/Desktop/ linux-2.6.37/arch/arm/boot/uImage -initrd rootfs -append "root=/dev/ram rdinit=/hello" RESULT = black screen inside the qemu-linaro window without error messages On the TUTORIAL n. 2 : 1) Patched : qemu-linaro-1.3.0-2012.12 with : sed -i "s/#define INITRD_LOAD_ADDR 0x00d00000/#define INITRD_LOAD_ADDR 0x01d00000/" qemu-linaro-1.3.0-2012.12/hw/arm_boot.c and also qemu-linaro 1.4 from the GIT rep with the same patch: sed -i "s/#define INITRD_LOAD_ADDR 0x00d00000/#define INITRD_LOAD_ADDR 0x01d00000/" qemu-linaro/hw/arm_boot.c 2) wget http://releases.linaro.org/12.05/android/images/vexpress-ics-gcc47-armlt-tr… gunzip vexpress-ics-gcc47-armlt-tracking-open.img.gz sudo kpartx -a vexpress-ics-gcc47-armlt-tracking-open.img sudo mount /dev/mapper/loop0p1 /mnt -o loop,ro cp /mnt/uImage /mnt/uInitrd . sudo umount /mnt sudo kpartx -d /dev/mapper/loop0p* dd if=uImage of=vmlinuz skip=64 bs=1 dd if=uInitrd of=initrd.gz skip=64 bs=1 3) Tried to boot Linaro Android 12.05 using qemu-linaro-1.3.0-2012.12 and also qemu-linaro 1.4 from the GIT rep on the Pandaboard ES with this : qemu-system-arm -M vexpress-a9 -m 1024 -smp 1 -snapshot -serial stdio -no-reboot -kernel vmlinuz -initrd initrd.gz -drive file=vexpress-ics-gcc47-armlt-tracking-open.img,if=sd,cache=writeback --append "console=tty0 console=ttyAMA0,38400n8 rootwait ro init=/init androidboot.console=ttyAMA0" and on the Samsung XE303C12-A01US Chromebook with this : qemu-system-arm -M vexpress-a15 -cpu-cortex-a15 -m 1024 -smp 1 -snapshot -serial stdio -no-reboot -kernel vmlinuz -initrd initrd.gz -drive file=vexpress-ics-gcc47-armlt-tracking-open.img,if=sd,cache=writeback --append "console=tty0 console=ttyAMA0,38400n8 rootwait ro init=/init androidboot.console=ttyAMA0" I've also tried wth : qemu-system-arm -M vexpress-a15 -cpu cortex-a15 -m 1024 -smp 1 -snapshot -serial stdio -no-reboot -kernel uImage -initrd uInitrd -drive file=vexpress-ics-gcc47-armlt-tracking-open.img,if=sd,cache=writeback --append "console=tty0 console=ttyAMA0,38400n8 rootwait ro init=/init androidboot.console=ttyAMA0" Also tried with different kind of combinations,like : -M versatilepb ; -M vexpress-a9 ; -cpu cortex-a9 ; -m 512 ; but the RESULT is still the smae = black screen inside the qemu-linaro window without error messages.

Instead,debian_lenny_armel_desktop is virtualized very well with qemu-linaro following this procedure : a) wget vmlinuz-2.6.32-5-versatile,initrd.img-2.6.32-5-versatile and debian_lenny_armel_desktop from here : http://people.debian.org/~aurel32/qemu/armel/ b) tried to virtualize debian_lenny_armel_desktop with : qemu-system-arm -M versatilepb -kernel vmlinuz-2.6.32-5-versatile -initrd initrd.img-2.6.32-5-versatile -hda debian_lenny_armel_desktop.qcow2 -append "root=/dev/sda1" and it works.... -- Mario.
