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

According to the TRM for TC2 the default value for that register is 0x33330c80, so adding the line "SCC: 0x400 0x33330c00" and incrementing TOTALSCCS does the trick, and the A15's now report an icache size of 32. We'll have to get everyone with a TC2 to make that change then? As this is a TC2 issue, and not Linux related, shall we drop linux-arm-kernel from all future replies to avoid the noise? I've added linaro-dev to the cc list so this continues to get public visibility. -- Tixy

Fwd: tjbench for libjpeg-8c

by Tom Gall

CCing the list as well. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Tom Gall <tom.gall(a)linaro.org> Date: Wed, Mar 13, 2013 at 10:35 AM Subject: Re: tjbench for libjpeg-8c To: Anand Kumar <bala.anand.k(a)gmail.com> Hi Anand, I had to build tjbench from other sources in order to use it with libjpeg8c. It's a pretty straight forward recompile. It's been awhile since I had worked on this. I seem to remember I used the libjpeg-turbo tjbench source code. I'll be working on this again quite quite soon as I need to refresh and push things upstream.

ATTENTION: OpenEmbedded layers from Linaro have new structure

by Marcin Juszkiewicz

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello Today I made several changes to OpenEmbedded layers hosted on git.linaro.org: - - meta-aarch64 - - meta-linaro Meta-aarch64 is now empty and is obsolete. Probably will be removed from server in about month or two. Meta-linaro repository got new structure based on meta-openembedded one and contains three layers: - - meta-aarch64 - - meta-linaro - - meta-linaro-toolchain Today meta-aarch64 is just a copy of old one but everything not related to ARMv8 will be moved from it to meta-linaro. Meta-linaro-toolchain contains just gcc-linaro and support for external Linaro cross toolchains (armv7a and armv8 ones). I considered creation of meta-aarch64-arm-toolchain one with ARM Ltd. version of gcc but it is not often used option so can stay where it is now (meta-aarch64). Instructions how to start building for ARMv8 (with OE) are in wiki: https://wiki.linaro.org/HowTo/ARMv8/OpenEmbedded Note that any scripts present in 'meta-aarch64' got dropped. If you want easy way then use 'jenkins-setup' scripts like it is described in wiki. They are written to be as easy to use as possible. If you have any problems/questions: reply to this email. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.12 (GNU/Linux) iQIcBAEBAgAGBQJRQJERAAoJECbKqQEReiUeKFgQAMUYDB1ymQs8ZspWVynJVJMQ InFsFQUd/QZCgNB9GcG6IepzmViHeMlIxNQ7u+KFABGV8uAz8gwdgcPtWwa/dc1b wu8u84mmwy77WBIMuX087AiXdg8WhJDJz5sztBoK2PL8Ljn1TFB/R17Ew90eN3zn o1DpPnbgMGs67phNiTy8GiQxyaaLZub0ZZZ5v00tWdt7x4vazw6n2r8/o+wzGLj2 536KI13Sepso2dg2mrpqzrwVH8KFP7S/rRiDdKI4Gw9FlTPiaiEEadX7OPKx8YC5 j1WIR0u66LCSe+F3NsfNfEgTOXPGVUNgqvemwGYXQuOLUKz7nnnkEdVRUegSuEVj +bZsgzFunghOsvEgX4ynxLVXgOrkiH4PPMhD+OWcB1pso9+ZdVFTVO2oGOnDg9pK ov7lidEoUDDIZqHxjy5cV36jDnXt8BTI9uEIjVo9gH/0g/67QImXHVONcppg2MfM GDfhYorkah3VTo9zgHZKCDEIstT1OsCSg+PNeKCAN6fDUdmnzGxCJNEj2CaRAzaI vJekxAK0+ptscJ9c+bUmAtcBK+XRvJ9K3naN+apUm13Y6INwKuS68knWzOJc0xhd rpPQ2EcYd8FP1gspjNJPyQKWr2pAUGQkOGkhHrsrb4nj6mkMDDgZ2ET1x8uxI056 vMRn7PKF7x3bItUP9NzA =GNf7 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

by Anand Kumar

With respect to investigation report on Libjpeg-turbo vs Libjpeg8c, i have a query on Libjpeg8c's tjbench. https://wiki.linaro.org/TomGall/LibJpeg8. When i downloaded libjpeg8c source code from the community, i couldn't find the tjbench support in libjpeg8c package. But in the above mentioned link i could see the benchmark results of tjbench for Libjpeg8c. Please let me know, where i can get the libjpeg8c package with tjbench support. ~ Ananda

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

Re: libjpeg8c vs libjpeg-turbo with libjpeg8 compat on

by Balasubramaniam, Anandakumar

Dear Tom, With respect to your nice investigation report on Libjpeg-turbo Vs Libjpeg8c, I have a query on Libjpeg8c's tjbench https://wiki.linaro.org/TomGall/LibJpeg8 When i took the Libjpeg8c source code from the Libjpeg community, I did not find the tjbench support in the libjpeg8c package. But in your Libjpeg8c's performance report, I have observed that tjbench is used for benchmarking. So please let me know whether the tjbench support for Libjpeg8c package is released to the community. Thanks & Regards, Ananda Kumar B ________________________________ This email is confidential and intended only for the use of the individual or entity named above and may contain information that is privileged.
