Issues with building ICS for Panda

by Tom Gall

Hi, I've been trying to build ICS for panda and I've been running intoissues. I'm new at it and ideally trying to get my feet week in prepfor libjpeg-turbo work and running of skia-bench. I am on ubuntu 11.10 x86_64 which I as I found has issues with gcc4.6. I was able to get around the _FORTIFY_SOURCE issue by using theprior gcc 4.5 install. (Tho I had to manually put /usr/lib/gcc-4.5/32into place) Now using : make TARGET_PRODUCT=full_pandaTARGET_TOOLS_PREFIX=/home/tgall/android-toolchain/android-toolchain-eabi/bin/arm-linux-androideabi-CC=gcc-4.5 CXX=g++-4.5 systemtarball userdatatarball boottarball (The TARGET_TOOL_PREFIX is pointing at an expanded :android-toolchain-eabi-linaro-4.6-2011.12-5-2011-12-12_14-40-40-linux-x86.tar.bz2) I get the following error while it's trying to build busybox: GEN include/usage_compressed.h HOSTCC applets/applet_tablesapplets/applet_tables.c: In function ‘main’:applets/applet_tables.c:151:9: warning: ignoring return value of‘fgets’, declared with attribute warn_unused_result [-Wunused-result] GEN include/applet_tables.h CC applets/applets.occ1: error: unrecognized command line option "-mfloat-abi=softfp"cc1: error: unrecognized command line option "-mfpu=neon"cc1: error: unrecognized command line option "-mthumb-interwork"applets/applets.c:1:0: error: bad value (armv7-a) for -march= switch I'm guessing that for some odd reason that the busybox source isn'trespecting something with the target tools infrastructure. Did I miss something? Ad Thanks! vance -- Regards, Tom "Where's the kaboom!? There was supposed to be an earth-shattering kaboom!"

Getting rid of the linaro_android_4.0.3_${BOARD} branches

by Bernhard Rosenkränzer

Hi, I'd like to get rid of the linaro_android_4.0.3_snowball/linaro_android_4.0.3_pandaboard/linaro_android_4.0.3_origen/... branches where they aren't absolutely necessary - they tend to cause a lot of extra maintenance work and possible mistakes (committing a fix for a bug affecting everyone only on a board specific branch etc). I think for frameworks/base, this should do it: http://review.android.git.linaro.org/#change,1321 The code on linaro_android_4.0.3_snowball also takes out the check for ro.nohardwaregfx, but I think that's not actually necessary (simply don't set it if you don't need it...) and removes the definitions of eglGetSystemTimeNV() and friends from eglext.h (shouldn't be necessary, code that tries to use those functions that don't exist on snowball will simply fail to link instead of erroring out on the invocation). linaro_android_4.0.3_pandaboard and linaro_android_4.0.3_origen don't seem to do anything actually needed. Please take a look at the proposed change and if you think it's not going to work, let me know why ;) ttyl bero

Linaro Android GB vs ICS bugs

by Andy Green

Hi - I visited https://bugs.launchpad.net/linaro-android to create a couple of bugs for Panda ICS rootfs [1], I was surprised to see 268 open bugs there including ones about Panda. When I looked at them, a lot are about Gingerbread, some are about TI LT kernels but others about Panda are about other kernels. Well, I'm kind of happy I didn't get bothered about those bugs; we have some open bugs that are relevant that we're still working on which is fine. However... what's the plan about Gingerbread? We seem to have moved lock, stock and barrel to ICS, which although it happened a bit abruptly I can understand the reasoning for. Should we not close out the Android bugs about Gingerbread then with INVALID or WONTFIX? Or is the plan we will continue to make GB builds too? (That will need us to create another kernel with old SGX 1.7 stuff in if so, it's no big deal but we would need to know.) It's very difficult at the moment to see if a bug like "Panda: Bootup failures observed when HDMI cable is connected" https://bugs.launchpad.net/linaro-android/+bug/902046 is relevant, I don't think it is since it's about old tracking kernel on Gingerbread with 1.7 SGX. Then, we should nuke the bug so we can see the wood from the trees? Another kind of problem a real, old bug we fixed 6 weeks ago is not closed out https://bugs.launchpad.net/linaro-android/+bug/869537 -Andy [1] I didn't bother listing bugs for all the regressions ICS rootfs introduced generally since they're well known already, but these ones are interesting for TI LT ICS: Panda: 1080p background image memory allocation fails https://bugs.launchpad.net/linaro-android/+bug/908954 ICS: Panda: 1080p launcher screen positioning uses 720p origin https://bugs.launchpad.net/linaro-android/+bug/908956 ICS: All arches: No aplay / arecord or equivalent https://bugs.launchpad.net/linaro-android/+bug/908957 -- Andy Green | TI Landing Team Leader Linaro.org │ Open source software for ARM SoCs | Follow Linaro http://facebook.com/pages/Linaro/155974581091106 - http://twitter.com/#!/linaroorg - http://linaro.org/linaro-blog

Meetings for the 25th-31st

by Zach Pfeffer

I'm sorry if anyone showed up for a meeting today and I wasn't there. I'm going to cancel the rest of this week's meetings (including the one-on-one sync ups for those working) except the Wednesday sync up for people working this week. We'll start up the new one-on-one sync up schedule on the 9th. I hope everyone who's off is enjoying their time! -- Zach Pfeffer Android Platform Team Lead, Linaro Platform Teams Linaro.org | Open source software for ARM SoCs Follow Linaro: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Linaro http://twitter.com/#!/linaroorg - http://www.linaro.org/linaro-blog

Thank you Prashanth Srinivasan and welcome Annamalai Lakshmanan!

by Zach Pfeffer

I'd like to thank Prashanth Srinivasan who joined the Linaro Android team from Samsung a few months back. Prashanth helped us with Origen support, including our recent push to ship a hardware accelerated Origen build. He has decided to find other opportunities outside of Samsung. Thanks Prashanth! I and the whole team wish you the very best. Thank you for helping out! Id like to introduce Annamalai Lakshmanan, the newest member of the Linaro Android team. Annamalai has been a lead at Samsung where he's integrated, debugged and enhanced multimedia kernel drivers including 2D blitters, display drivers, V4L2 drivers, HDMI drivers and keypad drivers. He has already started to have a big impact, working on enabling OMX decode on Origen, a goal we share with a new Linaro user who's also working to achieve this goal for a very exciting product...details to come!

Announce: Panda ICS SGX 1.8 on tilt-android-tracking

by Andy Green

Hi - Mainly due to the extraordinary efforts of Jassi, I'm pleased to announce TI LT now has a mostly-workable initial build of tilt-android-tracking for ICS including SGX 1.8 driver, on 3.2-rc5 basis. It has two issues at the moment to be aware of: 1) We were only able to get it to work right now on Build #1 of the Panda ICS rootfs. Build 4 is giving some problem with struct size matching in dsscomp. Jassi had read something about it on linaro-android and expects it'll be solved soon. 2) Display is from HDMI, is coming at 1080p, but we have a 640x480 box in the top left right now with the content. I understand AOSP is only coming at 640x480 anyway from HDMI anyway. We also hope to fix this shortly. It's important to note this is now stitched into its own topic (tracking-topic-sgx-1.8) and follows our normal flow of vanilla tracking + sgx-1.8 + androidization, ie, it's under control for ongoing tracking like the previous sgx topic was (which we successfully provided for 5 months or so for Gingerbread) and not just a bolt-on. Hopefully this will reduce the amount of Linaro effort wasted off-piste... -Andy -- Andy Green | TI Landing Team Leader Linaro.org │ Open source software for ARM SoCs | Follow Linaro http://facebook.com/pages/Linaro/155974581091106 - http://twitter.com/#!/linaroorg - http://linaro.org/linaro-blog
