Support for java6 and java7 on android-build

by Paul Sokolovsky

Hello, Last Friday, we with Vishal made changes to build scripts on https://android-build.linaro.org/ to support both java-1.6-sun (as was required by previous AOSP versions) and java-1.7-openjdk (as should be required for AOSP master). (Based on https://bugs.launchpad.net/linaro-android-infrastructure/+bug/1310939) To explicitly select java6, add "USE_JAVA_6=1" to build config. For java7 respectively add "USE_JAVA_7=1". The default stays java6 so far, as it appears to be needed by the most jobs so far, but it may be changes in the future. Thanks, and let me know if there're any issues or questions. -- Best Regards, Paul Linaro.org | Open source software for ARM SoCs Follow Linaro: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Linaro http://twitter.com/#!/linaroorg - http://www.linaro.org/linaro-blog

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.

CTS help?

by John Stultz

Hey Folks, So I'm trying to see about using CTS in my own smoke test for the linaro.android kernel in an emulated environment. I'm curious if anyone has any tips on how to best use CTS? The basic setup seems a bit complex, and once I found the CTS-tradefed, I ran into issues with it rebooting the device and the tcpip adb sessions not being re-established. So I was curious if the scripts Lava uses for CTS testing was somewhere easy to find? thanks -john

Linaro_build_cmd.sh for arndale octa not compiling

by Ricardo jota

Hello all, We've been trying to run the linaro_build_cmd.sh for the arndale_octa and we've stubbed around a couple of errors. I was hoping that someone has come across the same errors and has been successful in compiling android 4.4.2 for the arndale octa. I am compiling on Ubuntu 13.10; the script correctly looks for the ubuntu version, but when apt-get installing, two packages need to be changed: - the uboot-mkimage is now replaced by u-boot-tools in the script - the acpica-tools doesn't exist anymore. I just deleted it from the script - the WITH_HOST_DALVIK=false was added to the script; to avoid the error: 'replace' is not a member of 'std' Once I change the packages (line 47), I run the following script > sudo bash ./linaro_android_build_cmds.sh -m pinned-manifest-ann.xml and end up getting the following compile error from a bunch of generic collection<E> warnings: "cc1plus: all warnings being treated as errors" So, I guess my question is: is there a octa version that compiles successfully, and can it compile in 13.10? Again, any hints on would be very helpful. Thank you, -Jota

by Chris Sparks

Hello, I have been reading the instructions for installing linaro on my android device. I have a Galaxy Tab 3 7" model that I want to re-purpose and before I completely risk bricking my device, I am trying to assess if this would even work. I see references to Versatile Express which I don't have. Can i use linaro to re-purpose my device? Chris Sparks --- This email is free from viruses and malware because avast!

Error in Build - Linaro for Arndale Octa

by Clifton Forlines

Hello: I'm starting an Android peripheral project that is going to require some additions to the OS source. As such, Linaro Android looks like an excellent solution going forward. I'm having trouble getting started with the linaro_android_build_cmds.sh build scrip available at: https://android-build.linaro.org/builds/~linaro-android/arndale-octa-linaro/ When running the script, I hit an error (below) that I'm assuming has something to do with the toolchain, specifically: error: 'replace' is not a member of 'std' I've been unable to find any mention of this error in Linaro builds on-line. Can you provide any insight to help me get started? Thanks in advance for your help, -Clifton Forlines art/dalvikvm/dalvikvm.cc: In function 'int art::InvokeMain(JNIEnv*, char**)': art/dalvikvm/dalvikvm.cc:72:3: error: 'replace' is not a member of 'std' host C++: dex2oat <= art/dex2oat/dex2oat.cc make: *** [out/host/linux-x86/obj/EXECUTABLES/dalvikvm_intermediates/dalvikvm..o] Error 1 make: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....

Linaro Android, full_arndale, not compiling.

by Ricardo jota

Hi Folks, I'm starting a new project, based on android and supported by an Arndale. I’ve been trying to compile android and I’ve haven’t got very far, unfortunately. I was hoping someone could give me a clue as to what I’m doing wrong over here. I'm running ubuntu 13.04 and have successfully compiled stock android (not Linaro) with this environment. Here's what I'm doing: ###Exports used export MANIFEST_REPO=git://android.git.linaro.org/platform/manifest.git export MANIFEST_BRANCH=linaro_android_4.4.2 export TARGET_PRODUCT=full_arndale export MANIFEST_FILENAME=default.xml export REPO_GROUPS="common,arndale" export TARGET_SIMULATOR=false export TOOLCHAIN_TRIPLET=arm-linux-androideabi export TARGET_TOOLS_PREFIX=/home/jotacosta/tactual/linaro_android/prebuilts/gcc/linux-x86/arm/arm-linux-androideabi-4.8-linaro/bin/arm-linux-androideabi- ###repo is already installed. > ./repo init -u ${MANIFEST_REPO} -b ${MANIFEST_BRANCH} -m ${MANIFEST_FILENAME} -g ${REPO_GROUPS} > ./repo sync > make TARGET_PRODUCT=${TARGET_PRODUCT} TARGET_TOOLS_PREFIX=${TARGET_TOOLS_PREFIX} boottarball systemtarball userdatatarball It compiles until it gives the following error: """ make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/jotacosta/tactual/linaro_android/out/target/product/arndale/obj/ffmpeg' Export includes file: frameworks/native/opengl/libs/Android.mk -- out/target/product/arndale/obj/SHARED_LIBRARIES/libGLESv2_intermediates/export_includes Export includes file: external/piglit/tests/util/Android.mk -- out/target/product/arndale/obj/SHARED_LIBRARIES/libpiglitutil_gles2_intermediates/export_includes Export includes file: external/waffle/Android.mk -- out/target/product/arndale/obj/SHARED_LIBRARIES/libwaffle-1_intermediates/export_includes Import includes file: out/target/product/arndale/obj/EXECUTABLES/glslparsertest_gles2_intermediates/import_includes target thumb C: glslparsertest_gles2 <= external/piglit/tests/glslparsertest/glslparsertest.c In file included from external/piglit/tests/util/piglit-util-gl-common.h:32:0, from external/piglit/tests/glslparsertest/glslparsertest.c:36: external/piglit/tests/util/piglit-util.h:32:20: fatal error: config.h: No such file or directory #include "config.h" """ This feels like a rookie mistake, yes, but I can't pinpoint exactly where that mistake is. Any hints would be deeply appreciated. Thank you, Ricardo Jota

Validating WiFi Module with NL80211 framework- Reg

by Shajin AS

Hi all, I'm working with a custom OMAP4460 based platform running Android ICS. Android for this platform is based on TI's 4AI.1.4 Release. Release Notes available at http://omappedia.org/wiki/4AI.1.4_OMAP4_Icecream_Sandwich_Release_Notes. I need to upgrade to Android KitKat on this platform. I have chosen Linaro's Release 14.04 for Pandaboard to be ported to the custom platform. We use a Wireless module with TI's WL1271 core. The Wi-Fi driver provided by the Module vendor was based on NL80211 framework. WiFi with Linaro's KitKat port uses Wireless Extensions (WEXT) framework. I understand that WEXT is an older implementation and NL80211 is more recent. Is there a reason why WiFi on Linaro's KitKat port still uses WEXT framework? Is there any Android KitKat source base that uses NL80211 for WiFi framework? This will help me validate the WiFi functionality on my custom platform. Thanks & Regards Shajin
