First (semi-)working Linaro JellyBean build

by Bernhard Rosenkränzer

Hi, I've just committed the code needed to build an initial Linaro JellyBean version (buildable with the Linaro gcc 4.7 compiler): repo init -u git://android.git.linaro.org/platform/manifest.git -b linaro_android_4.1.1 repo sync Currently the build supports only the Galaxy Nexus - didn't want to run into trouble with potentially incompatible binary blobs before knowing the rest of the system is working. Support for our normally supported boards will be added over the next couple of days. Optimizations that currently aren't on the 4.1 branch will also be restored in the next couple of days. There's also 2 problems we need to fix quickly: E/WVMExtractor( 126): Failed to open libwvm.so entries showing up in logcat (a quick grep indicates nothing seems to build libwvm - neither in our tree nor in AOSP) and I/v8 ( 1293): ERROR: Binary compiled with -mfloat-abi=hard but without -DUSE_EABI_HARDFLOAT (we don't actually use hardfloat (yet), so chances are the check for hardfloat goes wrong with gcc 4.7.x) The camera isn't working, but that's not a high priority issue given the Galaxy Nexus is not a device we're supporting officially. Of course our gerrit is always happy to receive patches for these and other issues. ;) ttyl bero

[PATCH] ARM: mm: Allow an empty PMD in alloc_init_pte()

by Jon Medhurst (Tixy)

The Android patch titled "ARM: allow the kernel text section to be made read-only" modifies alloc_init_pte() and adds a BUG_ON to detect the case where a section mapping is being overwritten. However the test doesn't allow for the legitimate case where the PMD is empty, as can happen for kernels built with CONFIG_ARM_LPAE. So extend the test to allow this.

Android config fragment updated for Android 4.2

by Jon Medhurst (Tixy)

Hi Andrey As part of the efforts to get Android 4.2 working I have added CONFIG_FUSE_FS to the android.conf in configs-core-tracking. Could you please consider pulling this into linux-linaro? Such a change should be innocuous and I've built and booted a vexpress Android kernel with this change. I don't know if other Android builds are using config fragments or have their own defconfig, so perhaps they are also going to need updating...? -- Tixy

bandaid: repo sync on hackbox needs modern git

by Alexander Sack

Hi, seems we got recent issues because git is too "old" on hackbox. Here two ways to workaround for now: 1. use precise chroot to get the source: $ schroot -c precise $ repo ... 2. use git 1.8.0 that i installed in /home/linaro/local/bin: $ export PATH=/home/linaro/local/bin/:$PATH $ repo ... I have filed an RT ticket for changing PATH order on hackbox so that 2. will be the default whenever you log in. e.g. might be that from monday on you don't need to do anything special anymore. Let me know if you still have issues. -- Alexander Sack Technical Director, Linaro Platform Teams http://www.linaro.org | Open source software for ARM SoCs http://twitter.com/#!/linaroorg - http://www.linaro.org/linaro-blog

4.2 device specific patches

by Vishal Bhoj

Hi, We have got the basic support for 4.2 on stable-panda (with hw graphics) and tracking-panda (with sw graphics using hwcomposer.default.so) but tracking-panda has skewed graphics due to FB issue. This is proof of concept that all the platform can get to 4.2. Please give a try and let us know.We have modified the way partitions are mounted in 4.2. The device specific bits need to modified. Here are the patches: http://review.android.git.linaro.org/#change,3073 http://review.android.git.linaro.org/#change,3074 http://review.android.git.linaro.org/#change,3076 #3074,#3076 are the device specific bits. Please give a try and let us know. Regards, Vishal
