[MAINT] Android Build frontend goes down for maintenance

by Paul Sokolovsky

Hello, https://android-build.linaro.org goes down for maintenance, approved by Zach. ETA is 30min. There will be another email sent when the system is up again. Please don't use the frontend during this time. Expected outcome is resolution of artifacts transfer failures to snapshots.linaro.org which which we experienced today (and for some builds, for the last 2 days).

Omission in wiki.linaro.org/Platform/Android/BuildSource

by Paul Sokolovsky

Hello, I had a look at the latest http://wiki.linaro.org/Platform/Android/BuildSource and see that it doesn't mention the need to run ". build/envsetup.sh" explicitly. I don't know if that's omitted deliberately or just forgotten. I don't if it works without it or no (I would doubt it does, but maybe there were changes to makefiles and stuff). What I know is that on the Android Build, we do source build/envsetup.sh, so not having it on that page is a problem which can lead to build discrepancies between local and Jenkins (and as we know, that happens from time). So, it would be nice to have this settled and fixed.

For those who haven't registered the Android Builder Summit & Embedded Linux Conference.

by Botao Sun

Hi, I find there is a tricky discount which is hidden between the ABS and ELC events. If you want to get that discount, register the ELC first. During the ELC registration pages, it will tell you if you also want to attend the ABS, the ticket price will be USD 150. The original ABS ticket price is USD 325. But there is no any discount information if you register ABS first. So if you register the ABS first (like me, unfortunately), you will pay the full ticket price on both events. I have sent an email to them to ask the refund but I'm not sure they will accept. I haven't received their feedback yet. FYI. BR Botao Sun

Streamline benchmark delivery to toolchain

by Zach Pfeffer

We've started to spin up an effort to automate Android benchmarks in LAVA (thanks Andy and Bero). The toolchain group is interested in these results and would like the results in raw text form so that they can extend their parser to read it. I figured we should just shoot for this first since getting benchmark results to the toolchain group is very important. Does this sound good to you Andy and Bero? Michael/Åsa would you guys mind sending a sample of a preferred format and how you'd like it delivered? Paul, what ways can LAVA push out a text file? -- 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

Re: Good news for USB on Snowball

by Mathieu Poirier

Friends, Jesse found this connector: http://parts.digikey.com/1/parts/1637446-cbl-usb-a-rcpt-mini-a-plug-102mm-1… It *should* work and for our friends in India I just found this: http://www.digikey.in/ Happy shopping, Mathieu. PS: If someone ends up buying the connector please get back to us with your results. On 12-01-10 03:50 PM, Mathieu Poirier wrote: > > Jesse, > > That is an interesting setup you have there.

Good news for USB on Snowball

by Mathieu Poirier

Good day all, It is now possible to get input from multiple USB device using a powered USB hub. In my current setup I have a mouse and a keyboard and everything works well. Only basic functionality is supported - USB hot plug and return from hibernation will not work. This has been tested on landing-snowball builds for kernel 3.0 and 3.1, the latest can be found here: https://android-build.linaro.org/builds/~linaro-android/staging-snowball/#b… The feature has been proven to work with V5 and V11 boards. Special thanks to our 3-stars kernel engineer Philippe Langlais and the STE connectivity team for their relentlessness work on this problem. Best regards, Mathieu.
