ARM summit at Plumbers 2011

by Steve McIntyre

Hi folks, Following on from the founding of the cross-distro ARM mailing list, I'd like to propose an ARM summit at this year's Linux Plumbers conference [1]. I'm hoping for a slot on Thursday evening, but this remains to be confirmed at this point. We had some lively discussion about the state of ARM Linux distros at the Linaro Connect [2] event in Cambridge last week. It rapidly became clear that some of the topics we discussed deserve a wider audience, so we're suggesting a meetup at Plumbers for that bigger discussion. The initial proposed agenda is: * ARM hard-float + What is it and why does it matter? + How can distributions keep compatible (i.e. gcc triplet to describe the port)? * Adding support for ARM as an architecture to the Linux Standard Base (LSB) + Does it matter? + What's needed? * FHS - multi-arch coming soon, how do we proceed? * 3D support on ARM platforms + Open GL vs. GLES - which is appropriate? but I'm sure that other people will think of more issues they'd like to discuss. :-) If you wish to attend, please reply to the cross-distro list and let us know to expect you. Make sure you're registered to attend Plumbers Conf, and get your travel and accommodation organised ASAP.

Forthcoming meetings

by Steve McIntyre

Hi folks, In the coming few weeks, I've got space/time organised for some more face-to-face meetings in case they're useful: * ARM BoF at FOSDEM (currently scheduled for Sunday afternoon 5th Feb in one of the distro Devrooms) * Session(s) at Linaro Connect in San Francisco the following week I'm expecting to (at least) discuss ARM progress in various distros (including the new HF ABI) and build/port issues. If you have anything you'd like to discuss at one or both of these events, please speak up and/or come along! Cheers, -- Steve McIntyre steve.mcintyre(a)linaro.org <http://www.linaro.org/> Linaro.org | Open source software for ARM SoCs

Re: multi-arch soft/hard-float patches for ldconfig and ld.so

by Anthony L. Awtrey

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Pardon me for jumping in (and perhaps making some incorrect assumptions)... I've hit a snag trying to run software that links to ICU (http://site.icu-project.org/) in Debian Unstable on an armhf box I'm testing with. I opened a bug report in Debian and posted a question to the Debian-arm list to see if I could get this issue resolved. Bug report: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=653457 Email thread: http://www.mail-archive.com/debian-arm@lists.debian.org/msg13111.html After running some stack traces and reading the patches referenced in this thread (which are included in the current eglibc 2.13-24 I'm running) I may have hit an odd problem case. It turns out that the icu code has a file /usr/lib/libicudata.so.48 which is not actually a normal library. According to the Debian maintainer for icu, it is actually static data in the form of a library used as a speed hack for loading times. When I run any code that links that library, I get an uncommented exit during library loading with a code of '1'. Could I possibly be hitting the "#ifdef __ARM_PCS_VFP" case and exiting? How can I fix this case? I'll be happy to test any patches. Tony - -- Anthony L.
