Linaro on Panda Board

by rknollman＠juno.com

Help- I have a new Panda board (the box label says UEVM4460G-02-01-00) with a 16 GB SD card and DVI monitor, with Ubuntu 10.04 as the dev platform. I have been trying a number of different pre-built Android binaries (starting at pandaboard.org and following instructions there (Quickstart with pre-built binaries) which takes me to omappedia and linaro, but can't seem to get any to come to full running status. The release with most success is 12.03, but as soon as the "Android" shimmer screen is replaced with the Android environment, a window pops up to say "Unfortunately, Launcher has stopped". Some green blocks are moving about the screen at approx a one second interval, and moving the mouse causes the cursor to move very slowly, in sync with the green block movements. A few icons are shown at bottom left, and time of day is shown at bottom right. Nothing else is visible on the screen. Pressing the reset button cause a reboot, but this time it gets no further than the Android shimmer screen. The TTY console shows what appears to be an endless loop of a few dozen events, all seeming to repeat themselves. Not sure what details are needed to get past this problem, any help would be most appreciated. I have also tried releases 12.01, 12.02, and 11.11. None of these even show anything on the monitor. Thanks, Ron ____________________________________________________________ 53 Year Old Mom Looks 33 The Stunning Results of Her Wrinkle Trick Has Botox Doctors Worried http://thirdpartyoffers.juno.com/TGL3131/4f94bdbf27e2681f827st01vuc

[ANN] Android restricted-access builds

by Paul Sokolovsky

Hello, Linaro Infrastructure group is glad to announce support for restricted-access builds for Linaro Android. Such builds will allow us to adhere to our members' licensing and business restrictions for limited-access features, while still as much as possible to follow established Linaro open process, and let general public to be in loop on the upcoming great new features for the ARM platform. Restricted builds are used immediately for ongoing big.LITTLE enablement work. Restricted builds are available in our standard Android Build System, in a separate tab: https://android-build.linaro.org/#builds=restricted Members of the Launchpad group "linaro-android-restricted" are able to setup new builds (please note that this group doesn't allow direct access to restricted source code or downloads, only gives the ability to establish a restricted build). Administrators of the group include Alexander Sack and Zach Pfeffer, they should be contacted for membership requests. To set up a restricted build, select "linaro-android-restricted" as the owning group in the dropdown on "New build" page (this is UI change from previously available checkbox to create an official build, all choices are now available in dropdown). As second step, add/replace value of the following build config variable: BUILD_TYPE=build-android-restricted If you have a question regarding this functionality or found a bug, please submit it directly or via the bug tracker at: https://bugs.launchpad.net/linaro-android-infrastructure Thanks, Paul 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

CopyToSlave plugin takes (took) lot of build's time due to load of snowball tarballs

by Paul Sokolovsky

Hello, On Fri, we discovered that build started to take lot of time (30+ mins) on the CopyToSlave stage (one of the first on build startup) to copy EULA-protected binary blobs to a build slave. This adversely affected ability to restrict build/EULA handling changes/RCs (few timed out as was reported by Fathi). This could be attributed only to http://snapshots.linaro.org/android/binaries/snowball/ receiving five 100MB drops over last 10 days, or 500% or so growth, which uncovered poor throughput of CopyToSlave plugin. Due to inconveniences it brings, I applied a quick dirty solution of mirroring only the latest tarball from http://snapshots.linaro.org/android/binaries/snowball/ . Let me know if you see any issues. And that solution needs to be cleaned/generalized of course. https://bugs.launchpad.net/linaro-android-infrastructure/+bug/987189 -- Best Regards, Paul 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

by Guodong Xu

HI,Bero and Android team For this issue, https://bugs.launchpad.net/linaro-landing-team-freescale/+bug/880459 Actually, Audio works fine in Ubuntu LEB. But not working on Android LEB. This should not be a problem in kernel. So, could you please provide us your analysis from user space first? Thanks. Best regards, Guodong Xu
