Disabling the Android boot animation... ?

by Dave Martin

Hi all, It seems that the Android boot animation really consumes a lot of CPU. At least when running on the ARM fast models, I see a typical steady- state load (bootanimation+surfaceflinger) of about 65% CPU. I can kill the boot animation interactively, but does anyone know how to disable it properly? This would likely be a benefit to the test and validation work on the models. After killing the boot animation, I can boot a fresh release to the desktop in under 8 minutes on the model, with full cache modelling disabled. A preinitialised image will boot to the unlock screen in around 2.5 minutes. Cheers ---Dave

Syntax for custom LAVA tests

by Paul Sokolovsky

Hello, Yong Qin is working on the blueprint https://blueprints.launchpad.net/lava-android-test/+spec/modify-android-bui… to add arbitrary custom client-side scripts to Android Build. He submitted first implementation of it as https://code.launchpad.net/~liuyq0307/linaro-android-build-tools/run-custom… and documented as https://wiki.linaro.org/Platform/Android/AndroidBuild-LavaIntegration . Unfortunately, I'm not thrilled with that implementation, more specifically, its "user interface" (i.e. any parts which user directly faces) by the following reasons: 1. The idea behind Android Build's build config was that they're short and easy for human to parse, essentially one glance-over would enough to get a good idea what is built here, even for outsider. Consequently, the configs should not be overloaded with details not related to building. If there's a need for integration with other systems, we have good pattern of externalizing such details and then just referring to them with a single variable in a build config. 2. The whole approach in https://wiki.linaro.org/Platform/Android/AndroidBuild-LavaIntegration seems like trying to encode hierarchical structure in the shell syntax, which is not much supporting of that. The end result looks pretty much like representation of graph structure in raw assembler - it's spaghetti mix of data pieces and labels, requiring long time to wrap hand around to understand it, and cumbersome and error-prone to write. So, I would like to propose alternative syntax solving the issues above. I probably should start with saying that if the talk is about LAVA, then using native LAVA JSON request immediately comes to mind. Well, I guess human-writability wasn't a design goal for that, so I skip it. It still makes sense to stick to general-purpose hierarchical structure syntax though. Except that JSON has 2 problems: a) it doesn't support comments natively, so we'll need to pre-process it; b) error reporting/localization may be still no ideal. Anyway, here's my try, it is presented as a comment to https://wiki.linaro.org/Platform/Android/AndroidBuild-LavaIntegration and then full example at https://wiki.linaro.org/Platform/Android/AndroidBuild-LavaIntegration/pfalc… Let's discuss if that covers our needs and constraints.

Had some fun last night...

by Bernhard Rosenkränzer

... and created a 4.0.4 build. linaro_android_4.0.4 branches are created where necessary. The most interesting piece of news is probably that we no longer need linaro_* branches of platform/system/extras and platform/external/ipsec-tools - the patches we've had there are obsolete. This may be a good time to submit more patches to AOSP given the divergence should be rather low right now. ttyl bero

How do I rename an Android device?

by Jon Medhurst (Tixy)

I want to rename vexpress-a9 to just plain vexpress, because it also supports A15 and A5 cores and the current name confuses everyone. Are these the steps I would need to follow...? 1. To avoid breaking people trying to build previous releases I would need to get a new git repo created called device/linaro/vexpress.git which is a copy of the existing vexpress-a9.git and then edit the contents of this to remove references to 'a9'. 2. Copy the manifest file staging-vexpress-a9.xml to staging-vexpress.xml (or should it be landing-vexpress.xml)? Then edit the device path to the new device git. 3. Update build jobs on android-build.l.o 4. Tell someone about this so the instructions on the download pages get updated for next month's release. 5. Anything else? (I've already updated l-a-m-c to accept the new name) -- Tixy

tilt-linaro-android-3.1 branch on linaro github

by C.A, Subramaniam

Hi All, I see that the linaro branch tilt-linaro-android-3.1 is not available in this tree (git://git.linaro.org/landing-teams/working/ti/kernel.git ). The branch name is the one mentioned under linaro-android- + Panda enablement. Is there an alternate branch that can be used? or should I just use the tilt-linaro-android-3.0? -- Thank you and Regards Subbu
