Optimizing OVERLAY handling on android-build

by Paul Sokolovsky

Hello, There were increasing Android build times during last month again (going over 3.5hrs). Yesterday, I re-created the seed, but that didn't improve times match. I did more stats on builds and it turns out that we spend almost 1.5hrs in copying ever-growing overlay collection to the slaves via sluggish CopyToSlave Jenkins plugin. That's issues known for at least half-year, and was in queue for being reworked. I didn't work on android-build closely for few months, but now that I'm back on maintenance, I'd like to start with fixing this long-overdue issue. The idea was to pull all the needed overlay, straight to a slave. The complication here was handling of license protected files. ci.linaro.org had the same issue, and used a script to handle automatic downloads for some time. However, as of now, it was switched to other process and the script git bitrotted with recent linaro-license-protection codebase changes. I took a look at revamping it, but then though that it may be a good idea to use simpler and more explicit process, following closely click-thru usage. So, if you want to use a license-protected binaries in a build, you'd need to specify: ACCEPT_LICENSE=<license_id> Where <license_id> is id under which license is registered in linaro-license-protection. One good way to figure it out is to read the license page at all (well, as HTML source, the id is included in some links). Wording of variable name (as well as of commands in underlying implementation) is also explicit to point that its usage construes license acceptance. I prototypes these changes using https://android-build.linaro.org/builds/~pfalcon/panda-jb-gcc47-tilt-tracki… which is down to 2h10m build time. I'm ready to migrate all builds tomorrow, while we're early in cycle start. Please let me know if there're any issues with approach or proposed migration timeframe, otherwise let's make android-build rock again.

Arndale Android Time Setting & Kernel parameter setting

by Yoshiharu Imamoto

Hi there, I started to develop Linaro Android 13.07 on Arndale Board. It's working fine with HDMI display and mouse input, but I have some issues on it. 1. I cannot change date & time. I tried "Settings -> Date&Time" and "time -s 20130823.130000" command via serial console. But it does not change time on the device. As a result, my application that uses SSL fails to connect to a server since time is set to 1970, which makes certificate validation fail. Does anyone know how to change date & time? 2. I cannot change Linux boot parameter. I want to boot Linux kernel on a single processor hardware, so I'd like to make it No SMP. We can do it by setting "nosmp" argument for kernel boot. I tried changing u-boot parameters mmcargs so that it includes nosmp, but booting kernel seems not to have one. I confirmed it by looking at /proc/cmdline. What parameter on u-boot do I have to change? Thanks, Yoshi

by Megharaj Aralikoppa Gowdaru

*********************** This message has been scanned by the InterScan for CSC SSM and found to be free of known security risks. *********************** Hi all, USB camera was working fine with native camera application in 12.08(ICS), it was also possible to capture image through native camera application. Yes I had made a small change in the code I had changed Android.mk in folder hardware/ti/omap4xxx/camera. The change that i made was as follows. # OMAP4_CAMERA_HAL_USES:= OMX OMAP4_CAMERA_HAL_USES:= USB Now I am trying to do the same in 13.07(Jelly bean), but its not working for me. Is it possible to enable USB camera in android running on pandaboard for version 13.07.

Android Config fragment update

by Vishal Bhoj

Hi John, Should we update our existing Android config fragment to what google recommends ? Atleast the base config as per google's documentation: http://source.android.com/devices/tech/kernel.html I see that one of the Landing team kernel which is derived from linux-linaro builds with our android config fragment but fails to compile with the one mentioned in above link.

hi maybe you can help me

by me

I dont know if you are the right people/ person to ask. i appologize if you are not. I have a google nexus . i have either soft or hardbricked it. I think i probably deleted the bootloader on it. It just hangs on the google loading screen. It is not in fastboot or adb mode. nexus root toolkit google nexus toolkit and odin cant locate it. I run linux mint 15 (ubuntu 12.04) and have begun to develop a working knowledge of udev lspci etc. . I have a maguro bootloader image (bootloader- maguro-primelc03_4.2.2img) but i haven't been able to find a delivery system, if indeed that is the problem. It seems like linaro-android-media-create might do the job but i am quite nervous about doing more damage. thank you for your time
