The Linaro Toolchain Working Group is pleased to announce the release of
Linaro QEMU 2013.03.
Linaro QEMU 2013.03 is the latest release of qemu-linaro. Based off
upstream (trunk) QEMU, it includes a number of ARM-focused bug fixes
and enhancements.
This release has been updated to be based on upstream's recent 1.4.0
release. It also includes ARM KVM support patches which are in sync
with the ABI as committed to the upstream Linux kernel for 3.9.
This feature is still under development but will no longer be subject
to kernel-vs-userspace ABI breaks.
The source tarball is available at:

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

== This Week ===
* Couldnt help my luck and wasnt able to reach Hong Kong due to delay in
visa processing by Hong Kong immigration department.
* Remotely attended live streams of Linaro Connect Asia
* Tried to reproduce all open bugs under linaro-gdb project on launchpad
and created a review sheet.
* Created a comparison sheet to figure out why certain gdb tests are
failing or not being run in different configurations.
== Next week ==
* Try to enable some native only tests and see if the functionality can be
tested for remote configurations as well.
* Set out some priority on blue prints and bugs under linaro-gdb project
and start with some stuff with higher priority.
* Caught some flu over the weekend and still a bit down with fever n
headache.
Progress:
* Linaro Connect Asia (Hong Kong)
* Lots of discussions with virtualization team (first time we've
all been able to meet up!), making sure we all understand our TODO
list, priorities, etc, and getting these details written up in JIRA
* Presentation of KVM current status and discussion of next steps;
we tried to keep the focus on the discussion/audience input part
and I thought it was pretty good
* Several linked conversations on UEFI and how it boots hypervisors
(including KVM); came to a conclusion everybody was happy with
(UEFI mostly runs in SVC mode but provides mechanisms so UEFI
bootloader code can start the kernel in Hyp mode as it requires);
Grant Likely will be moving this forward
* KVM/ARM support patchset for QEMU was accepted into upstream this week!
* looked at fixing QEMU's totally broken model of the versatile PCI
controller
-- PMM
== This Week ===
* Compiled GDB graphical report and test-case statistics out of the results
generated by running gdb-test suite in different configurations.
* Worked on release testing of QEMU. All configurations mentioned in
release template have been tested alongwith an extra configuration of 13.01
ubuntu on vexpress.
* Kept running around for my Hong Kong visa which is still not with me.
== Next week ==
* Try to make it to The Connect in Hong Kong or at least attend remotely.
* Participate in various activities at The Connect.
Progress:
* qemu-linaro: rolled tarball, sent it off for testing
* investigated and reviewed fixes for upstream regressions in
ADC/SBC instruction implementation
* sent updated versions of various patchsets
* fixed review comments on QEMU KVM support patchset, resent
* reviewed a pile of ARM patches from other people and sent arm-devs
pullreq

Hi,
I got the crosstool-ng from the 2013.02 release and wanted to build the linaro-aarch64-linux-gnu target locally. During the build, I'm encountering errors. I didn't do any menuconfig for the above target before starting the build.
I'm seeing the following errors with the first during the ppl build ...
[INFO ] Installing PPL
[EXTRA] Configuring PPL
[ERROR] configure: error: Cannot find GMP version 4.1.3 or higher.
[EXTRA] Saving state to restart at step 'cloog'...
...
(from build-ppl/config.log ....
...
configure:11257: result: no
configure:11392: error: Cannot find GMP version 4.1.3 or higher.
GMP is the GNU Multi-Precision library:

...
[INFO ] Installing CLooG/ppl

configure:11237: error: Can't find correct version of PPL.

If I'm building a known target with the released version, why am I seeing these errors?
Thanks,
Kalai
