Status report in detail in https://wiki.linaro.org/OfficeofCTO/WeeklyReport

Last weekly meeting: https://wiki.linaro.org/OfficeofCTO/2011-11-29

Highlights:

- ARMHF (also tracked via https://launchpad.net/linaro-octo-armhf Launchpad project) + Debian builds are now churning + Ubuntu ARMHF now happening - there were some problems unearthed (eg https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/python2.7/+bug/898172) but moving on. Bugs which will appear will be tackled + Bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/offspring/+bug/892240 - offspring does not currently support armhf. This will impede efforts to get armhf benchmarks running on LAVA. The issue is being now tackled by infra, a machine will be set to handle putting together *unsupported* experimental armhf Debian images as a precursor to getting eventually Ubuntu armhf builds supported by offspring.

- ARM Server: Preparation work is ongoing, for the roadmap and requirements as well as initial planning for the first steps. A server LEB will also be discussed from next week onwards.

- A number of patches sent already to deal with reducing ticks as a way to reduce power consumption. Check patches from http://patches.linaro.org/team/linaro-octo/

- Finally a short account of memory management: + CMA has seen a new version of the patches as result of the discussion on Kernel Summit + there is ongoing work to enable testing of CMA via LAVA + getting dma-buf sharing improved based on the review comments, and also pushing implementation of v4l2 as a user of dmabuf + we have a first implementation of dri2video for nouveau driver, and also coming soon for omap

All questions, comments, are welcome,
