Panda kernel update

by Christophe Lyon

Hi, Some time ago, to fix heat problems on our panda boards which building/validating GCC, I upgraded the kernel and activated the thermal features: I switched to 3.7.2. I used some of the instructions found in: https://wiki.linaro.org/Resources/HowTo/KernelDeploy The tests I performed afterwards look OK, but I have noticed that there is no longer any /dev/mmcblk0p1 so I am wondering how I will manage to upgrade next time? What am I missing? Thanks, Christophe.

LCA13: Video: Scheduler Internals by: Vincent Guittot

by Viresh Kumar

Hi Guys, Below are hangout upstreams of Scheduler Internals by Vincent Guittot done in LCA13. We have got another version of this recording that is done by some other cameras, but its size was 30 GB and so hard to upstream. In case you need that please contact me. Day 1: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2yzelou80JE Day 2: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fN11Lltx1nQ Thanks to Naresh for arranging for hangouts. -- Viresh

[RFC v2 1/1] clk: Add notifier support in clk_prepare/clk_unprepare

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

Linaro Release 13.02 Postmortem Summary

by David Zinman

Postmortem and lessons learned for Linaro's release 2013.02 https://wiki.linaro.org/Cycles/1302/Release/Review Highlights and Key Successes ============================ http://www.linaro.org/downloads/1302 http://wiki.linaro.org/Cycles/1302/Release#Release_Information The Linaro Engineering Group (LEG) released Linaro UEFI 2013.02 which fixed several bugs targeting the Arndale boards. LEG also added ARM support to libhugetlbfs, merged into next branch--package is available from Linaro's Overlay PPA. The Linaro Developer Platform team completed the CI bring up for the Arndale board: Arndale image reports have been added to the LAVA dashboard and daily tests are run on the board. The team has also enabled UEFI support in the Arndale hardware pack. The Linaro Toolchain Team released Linaro GCC 4.7-2013.02-01 based off GCC 4.7.2+svn195745 and includes arm/aarch64-4.7-branch up to svn revision 195716, support for Cortex-A7 backported from trunk. The 2013.02 Linaro Toolchain Binaries release were updated to latest Linaro GCC 4.7 2013.02-01 which included upgrades for binutils to v2.23.1, eglibc to v2.17 and the kernel header to v3.7. Blueprints ========= The number of high or essential priority blueprints that missed the cycle: Android 7 out of 11 Developer Platform 5 out of 9 Infrastructure 1 out of 4 Lava 4 out of 7 QA 2 out of 9 Total 19 out of 40 48% of high or essential priority blueprints scheduled for this cycle were not delivered. Total blueprints: 35 out of 69 missed the cycle. High priority missed blueprints recap: 12.05: 19 out of 48, 39% 12.06: 13 out of 31, 42% 12.07: 14 out of 31, 45% 12.08: 6 out of 26, 23% 12.09: 9 out of 28, 32% 12.10: 15 out of 38, 39% 12.11: 7 out of 19, 37% 12.12: not available 13.01: 9 out of 28, 33% * Not included is data from working groups and landing teams Source: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AjEaTwrvj1bidDFUaFJpYXJJS25CV1… -- David Zinman, Project Manager Linaro.org | Open source software for ARM SoCs
