The Linaro Kernel Working Group (KWG) is excited to announce the
availability our May 2011 development snapshot: linux-linaro-11.05-2.6.38
This is the first of a new monthly series of development snapshots from
the KWG that will provide a way for developers to work with the Linaro
kernels without needing to follow the git tree on a daily basis. As the
word "snapshot" implies, these are meant as development kernels and have
not been fully validated. You should expect issues and to help us deliver
a better kernel in the future, you should file bugs in Launchpad at
https://bugs.launchpad.net/linux-linaro.
The source tarball is available at:
https://launchpad.net/linux-linaro/11.05/11.05-final/+download/linux-linaro…
The kernel sources can also be accessed using git at:
git://git.linaro.org/kernel/linux-linaro-2.6.38.git
tag: linaro-11.05-2.6.38
A pre-packaged kernel for OMAP boards is available at:
https://launchpad.net/~linaro-maintainers/+archive/kernel/+files/linux-imag…
This snapshot is based on the 2.6.38.7 stable kernel with a number
of changes developed by Linaro and integrated from upstream trees
including the 2.6.39, OMAP, and Power Management trees to name a few.
The changes from 2.6.38.7 include:
* Initial Device Tree support for MX51, MX53, Overo, SMDKV310, Beagle,
IGEPv2/v3, Panda, Tegra, and Versatile boards. This support allows
memory size and board type to be passed via the Device Tree.
* The ARM kprobes code has been updated to correctly handle a number
of instructions that did not previously work and to work on kernels
w/o frame pointers.
* The coredump code has been updated so you can now analyze VFP
register state using GDB. Using this feature requires the upstream
GDB trunk tree or the Linaro snapshot available from
https://launchpad.net/gdb-linaro/+download
* CPUIDLE support for Samsung Orion has been added, allowing for
longer battery life on platforms based on this chipset.
* Experimental support for LTTng on ARM, allowing developers to perform
deep analysis of system state transitions. See http://lttng.org/ for
more information on using LTTng.
A full changelog against 2.6.38.7 is available at:
https://launchpad.net/linux-linaro/11.05/11.05-final/+download/CHANGELOG-li…
High Priority Known Issues:
* The combination of a device-tree enabled kernel and and Linaro's
2011-03 u-boot will make WiFi and HDMI unuseable on the IGEP board.
(LP #768680)
* imx51 randomly truncates serial input at 31 characters
(LP #754254)
* OMAP Beagle C4: kernel does not reliably find SD card on boot
(LP #712175)
* wl12** driver causes networking to hang on ubuntu-desktop image
(LP #785739)
* Only half of RAM useable when using Device Tree on Panda board
(LP #707047)

Hi,
I'm sorry to send this to all, but there are no test cases on
qatracker to report this on and it seems urgent.
A little while after booting the latest android images on my Panda it
goes into an endless loop, outputting this:
pm_op(): platform_pm_suspend+0x0/0x9c returns -95
PM: Device kim failed to suspend: error -95
PM: Some devices failed to suspend
PM: resume of devices complete after 476.470 msecs
Restarting tasks ...
done.
suspend: exit suspend, ret = -95 (2000-01-01 00:01:20.662933350 UTC)
PM: Syncing filesystems ... done.
Freezing user space processes ... (elapsed 0.02 seconds) done.
Freezing remaining freezable tasks ... (elapsed 0.02 seconds) done.
Suspending console(s) (use no_console_suspend to debug)
Complete log attached.
Thanks,
Mattias
Hi,
Here's the following rationale:
1. as a user, I would like to easily find the released Linaro components:
* Linaro Evaluation Build (Android and Ubuntu LEB)
* Tools (linaro-image-tools)
* Working Groups (kernel, u-boot, gcc, gdb, qemu, powerdebug, powertop, etc...)
2. as a user, I would like to download the release for my ${board} in
one central place.
3. as a release manager on the road to monthly releases, I would like
to adjust the current layout to match the release process.
The current layout has some issues:
- a user should go through several paths to get a rootfs and a hardware pack.
- a user should go through several websites to find Linaro goods
(releases.l.o, launchpad.net)
- newcomers like Android doesn't fit well
- every team has a different release process
To resolve these user stories, we came up with 2 layouts proposal.
Please, see the document attached.
Feebdacks/suggestions on the proposals are welcome!
Note: we planned to start with platform directory only.
The working-groups could come later when we agree on the approach.
Cheers,
Fathi

Hi all,
The Kernel Working Group is getting ready to release the first of our new
monthly development snapshot in a few days and we would like folks
to do some quick sanity boot testing on their boards. Please
grab or update the kernel from
git://git.linaro.org/kernel/linux-linaro-2.6.38.git,
and checkout the linaro-11.05-2.6.38 tag (which happens to be same
as master at this moment) and give it a quick spin. Note that this is just
the stock Linaro kernel and does not include any binary graphics drivers
or other bits provided by Linaro's landing team kernels, so we just
need the basic build and boot tested along with some simple
testing of devices that can be used w/o extra drivers.
Thanks!

Dear all,
i need to test for the arm platform,but I do not find the git tree of
powertop on launchpad.net,or the tree is located on linaro.org?

JUST DO IT,NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE
Enclosed you'll find a link to the agenda, notes and actions from the
Linaro Developer Platforms Weekly Status meeting held on May 25th
in #linaro-meeting on irc.freenode.net at 15:00 UTC.
https://wiki.linaro.org/Platform/DevPlatform/Meetings/2011-05-25
New Actions:
* hrw and rsalveti to discuss with michaelh1 about a possible merge of BPs
* wookey to start a discussion at linaro-dev m-l about the image
generation topic (technical aspect of it)
* wookey create the ubuntu application wiki, requesting sponsorship
from other ubuntu core devs
* rsalveti start a discussion to see if we can move the meeting to
another time/day to avoid conflict with the arm porting queue effort
* jcrigby to add a release plan for u-boot into the u-boot BP (or
creating a new one for it)

Hi guys.
After looking hard at those blueprints and our discussions during UDS
I'm getting this impression that the line between the two is blurred.
It would significantly to frame the problem help if we could determine
the architecture of "validation website" and how it differs from "lava"
(especially after we did lava-server), where it ends up being (which
project?) and so on.
Best regards

Hi,
would it be possible to access the projects hosted in the git
repository [1] using the http protocol? E.g. like with git.kernel.org?
I know it's a pain, but some people sitting behind a firewall don't
have any other option.
Many thanks!
Dirk
