During ELC a few people asked me if Linaro had something bigger than nano and smaller than Ubuntu that they could use to build stuff. Of course I said Android, but a lot of people actually want a regular Linux platform where they can easily recompile what they need to hack on, add their own libs and scripts and generally work in an "embedded, cross build way." I know there's OpenEmbedded and I've heard of something called "livebuild." Does anyone have anymore info? This class of users is arguably the largest class of people using these boards so creating something targeted at them would allow them to get all the benefits of Linaro in a easy to use fashion. -- Zach Pfeffer Android Platform Team Lead, Linaro Platform Teams 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

$TARGET_TOOL_PREFIX

by Mathieu Poirier

Friends of the greed robot, The attached file is used to compile the MM libs from one of our vendor. On line 224 the variable TARGET_CROSS_COMPILE is assigned the value 'arm-eabi-', forcing the build script to look in $PATH for the compiler. This is obviously not what we want. I commented out 218 and added 219 and the libs are now compiled with 'arm-linux-androideabi-'. I would like to know if there is a better way to fetch the linaro-android toolchain or if it is ok to simply reference TARGET_TOOL_PREFIX the way I did. Regards, Mathieu.

by Michael Opdenacker

Hi List, You may be able to answer this question on Ask Linaro: http://ask.linaro.org/questions/1063/can-someone-help-with-linker-error-on-… The guy is getting compile warnings: arm-eabi-ld: warning: unwinding may not work because EXIDX input section 8 of arch/arm/nwfpe/built-in.o is not in EXIDX output section And his kernel doesn't seem to boot (though it could be a mistake on the user's side).

Re: Creating a branch in Android

by Zach Pfeffer

Yeah, that should be okay. Though we could do it using a separate branch. That may make ongoing maintenance easier. We can name the branch: linaro_android_4.0.4_origen Will that work?

Androidization of 3.4 rc1 kernel

by Vishal Bhoj

Hi John, I am having problems while merging the android 3.3 patches into a 3.4 rc1 kernel . Around 25 patches are failing . I wanted to know if someone has generated these androidization patches for 3.4 kernel :) . I could boot the upstream kernel to android GUI by enabling upstream android drivers on 3.4 RC1 kernel.What I want to know here is what are the advantages of having all the android patches enabled. FYI: I was doing this for fastmodels. Regards, Vishal
