Hi, The Linaro team is pleased to announce the availability of the 11.05 Beta-2 images. These are still early developer images but we encourage all with supported hardware to use and test them by downloading from: http://releases.linaro.org/platform/linaro-n/ Highlights of this release include: * This milestone includes a first release of the Linaro Android evaluation images for Beagle XM and Panda. * Efforts from the Android team include: * Generic AOSP builds with Linaro components. * The Linaro Android 2.6.38 kernel. * Toolchain packages based on Linaro toolchain release of March. Initial benchmarks for this toolchain can be found at https://wiki.linaro.org/JimHuang/Sandbox/LinaroToolchainAndroidBenchmarking * An Android platform code branch for direct evaluation of the Linaro toolchain. * Initial low hanging fruit optimisations; integrated and upstreamed to AOSP (16 patch sets currently). * Mouse support for developer convenience on the Panda image. * The 0xBenchmark package comes pre-integrated into the builds for benchmarking and demos. * Four images based on Ubuntu 11.04 including ubuntu-desktop, nano, developer and ALIP. * linaro-image-tools support for installing Android images on an SDcard * Support for 11 different developer boards including the newly added Freescale iMX53 LoCo board. Using the Android-based images ============================= The Android-based images come in three parts, system, userdata and boot. These need to be combined to form a complete Android install. For an explanation of how to do this please see: https://wiki.linaro.org/Platform/Android/InstallImages If you are interested in getting the source and building these images yourself please see the following pages: https://wiki.linaro.org/Platform/Android/GetSource https://wiki.linaro.org/Platform/Android/BuildSource Using the Ubuntu-based images ============================= The Ubuntu-based images consist of two parts. A hardware pack which can be found under the ./hwpacks directory which contains hardware specific packages such as the kernel and bootloader. The second part is the roofs which is combined with the hardware pack to create a complete image. For information on how to create an image please see: http://wiki.linaro.org/Releases/MilestoneBuilds Comparisons =========== A comparison of packages from the ubuntu-desktop beta and beta2 images can be found at: http://people.linaro.org/~jamiebennett/comparisons/comparisons-linaro-11.05… Getting involved ================ More information on Linaro in general and the 11.05 plans can be found at: * Homepage: http://www.linaro.org * Wiki: http://wiki.linaro.org * 11.05: http://wiki.linaro.org/Releases/1105 Also subscribe to the important Linaro mailing lists and join our IRC channels to stay on top of Linaro developments: * Announcements: http://lists.linaro.org/mailman/listinfo/linaro-announce * Development: http://lists.linaro.org/mailman/listinfo/linaro-dev * IRC: #linaro on irc.linaro.org or irc.freenode.net #linaro-android irc.linaro.org or irc.freenode.net Issues with this release ======================== For any errata issues please see: http://wiki.linaro.org/Releases/1105/Beta2#Issues Bug reports for this release should be filed in Launchpad against the individual packages that are affected, if a suitable package cannot be identified, feel free to assign them to: http://www.launchpad.net/linaro Regards, Jamie. -- Linaro Release Manager | Platform Project Manager

Hi, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-ti-omap4/+bug/633227 seems to suggest we can now use 1GB of RAM on a Panda board.

Linaro Image Tools 0.4.5 released

by Mattias Backman

On behalf of the Linaro Infrastructure team I'm pleased to announce the release of Linaro Image Tools 0.4.5. Linaro Image Tools offer a set of tools for use with Linaro images. This release features installing Linaro Android images. These images can be found on https://android-build.linaro.org/ Please note that Android image support still is considered experimental, meaning that the command line interface is subject to change. The source tarball is available from: https://launchpad.net/linaro-image-tools/trunk/0.4.5 Thanks, Mattias Backman

devicetree: Tegra I2C muxing, and of_i2c_register_devices

by Stephen Warren

Tegra's I2C driver has a unique feature built in (although not mainlined yet); it can multiplex the I2C bus onto different sets of pins using the Tegra pinmux module, and hence can register more than 1 I2C bus with the I2C core for each controller. The exact number of busses registers, and the pinmux settings to be used, are provided by platform data. See: http://git.chromium.org/git/kernel-next.git chromeos-2.6.38 include/linux/i2c-tegra.h arch/arm/mach-tegra/board-seaboard.c If I understand the direction of devicetree on ARM, there should be a single devicetree node for the Tegra I2C controller, which will get matched up with a static platform device registration in e.g. mach-tegra/board-dt.c I can easily see how to provide the appropriate platform data to the Tegra I2C driver, by definining the appropriate fields in a custom devicetree binding. To cater for the multiple child busses, the simplest solution seems to be to define each child node's reg property to be a tuple, <sub_bus_id, i2c_address> (c.f. existing <i2c_address>). E.g.: IIC0: i2c@00000000 { compatible = "nvidia,tegra250-iic"; #address-cells = <2>; #size-cells = <0>; bus_muxes = <pinmuxid_1 pinmux_value_1 pinmuxid_2 pinmux_value_2>; rtc@68 { compatible = "stm,m41t80"; reg = <0 0x68>; }; sttm@48 { compatible = "ad,ad7414"; reg = <1 0x48>; }; }; The problem is then that of_i2c_register_devices won't work well for the Tegra I2C controller, since it enforces that each child node's reg property be a single value, the I2C address. To solve this, should we: a) Have each mux'd bus have a separate devicetree node underneath the main I2C device, e.g.: IIC0: i2c@00000000 { compatible = "nvidia,tegra250-iic"; // @0 doesn't really end up matching a // reg property within the child though bus@0 { #address-cells = <1>; #size-cells = <0>; pinmux_group = <N>; pinmux_value = <M>; rtc@68 { compatible = "stm,m41t80"; reg = <0x68>; }; } bus@1 { #address-cells = <1>; #size-cells = <0>; pinmux_group = <N>; pinmux_value = <M>; sttm@48 { compatible = "ad,ad7414"; reg = <0x48>; }; } }; Then, the bus@0 or bus@1 nodes could be placed into adap->dev.of_node, since the devices are hung off there. b) Implement custom devicetree child enumeration code in the Tegra I2C driver to replace of_i2c_register_devices, which implements the two-entry reg format. The first devicetree example in this email could then be used. c) Perhaps remove the bus mux functionality from the Tegra I2C driver, and implement a separate I2C mux driver for it. I'm not sure if devicetree has a defined representation for I2C bus muxes, and even if it does, since the mux control isn't accessed by I2C registers (as most standalone I2C bus muxes are), but rather Tegra- specific pinmux API calls, I'm not quite sure how to represent it in device-tree. Thanks for any thoughts! -- nvpublic
