== Highlights ==

- For 11.10 + UMM: DMA-mapping framework was updated - mainly focusing on the IOMMU mapper for ARM DMA-mapping implementation. DMA-mapping patches were been rebased onto Linux v3.1-rc9-next kernel.

For buffer sharing object - working on v4l2 as a dmabuf user, added support for dmabuf to v4l2 camera driver on pandaboard.

+ ARMHF: as part of the 11.10 work ARMHF benchmarks were carried out in parallel to the effort of porting Debian packages to hardfloat. The benchmark results are in

https://wiki.linaro.org/OfficeofCTO/HardFloat/Benchmarks.

Also a patched ld.so which detects whether objects in binaries use the hard-float ABI, is prepared and benchmarked (effect of the testing is negligible). The discussion on the cross-distro list: http://lists.linaro.org/pipermail/cross-distro/2011-October/000094.html

+ Boot Architecture / UEFI: Working with ACPI and UEFI primarily for ARM Servers: this is a new direction, introduced in http://lists.linaro.org/pipermail/boot-architecture/2011-October/000128.html

As a matter of fact a couple of blueprints for 11.11 related to Boot Architecture and UEFI work under OCTO, were obsoleted, since there will be new blueprints to cover the work coming out from ELCE and LC.

Questions, comments are welcome.
