[Dave Martin]

== Dave Martin <dmart> ==

=== Activity ===
==== hardware-n-kernel-standard-architecture ====

 * Put out an RFC regarding how VFP/NEON state should be
   represented in core files.  Agreed with Ulrich Weigand that
   there should be a new note, with structure matching that
   yielded by the PTRACE_GETVFPREGS call.

==== miscellaneous ====

 * Some time spent helping work around network issues in the
   Linaro Cambridge office.  Set up a fallback DNS/DHCP server
   in case of a repeat of the router failures observed
   previously.

 * Some time spent helping Dave Pigott get up to speed.

 * Set up an iMX53 loco board in the Linaro Cambridge office.

 * Some more time spent dealing with ARM internal issues.

=== Plans ===

 * Try and reflash U-Boot on the validation lab u8500 boards.

 * Set up the remaining Freescale boards in validation lab.

 * Write up the output from the Freescale i.MX BSP review
   discussion, and post for comment.

=== Issues ===
 * iMX53 loco boards can't auto-power-on, which is a problem
   for the validation farm.

   ericm and the Freecale guys are investigating possible
   workarounds.

=== Absences ===
 * (none)
