Continued work on widening multiplied. I've identified another cause for the bootstrap failure, and submitted the new version for testing.
Continued trying to find out how my thumb2 constants patches are broken. This is taking ages due to the time it takes to turn around a bootstrap build on my IGEP board.
Tried to get the CS Panda boards to work again. They'll do the bootstrap builds much faster (if still not quickly), but are no longer very well. All my attempts to bring them back up remotely have failed. I've discovered that the device the serial console on one was connected to has been relocated to the new Mentor Graphics board lab, so this might explain some of it ....
Chaired the Monday and Thursday meetings in Michael's absence.
Travelled to the Linaro Connect event in Cambourne, near Cambridge.
Other:
More machine trouble. I keep thinking I have the display issues solved, and then it starts up with all the windows displayed double sized, but requiring mouse clicks in the correct location .... typically this happened just when I needed access to the pin number for the Monday meeting. This hasn't happened since Monday, so hopefully it's now ironed out ... this sort of thing does not happen with Windows. :(
