Hi All, We have a Pandaboard ES model with us. We purchased the same last week. We want to test board with the pre-built images from Linaro. So, we followed the following steps. The main link is http://releases.linaro.org/12.07/android/images/panda-ics-gcc47-tilt-stable… STEPS: 1) wget http://releases.linaro.org/12.07/android/images/panda-ics-gcc47-tilt-stable… 2) gunzip panda-ics-gcc47-tilt-stable-blob.img.gz 3) sudo dd bs=4M if=panda-ics-gcc47-tilt-stable-blob.img of=/dev/sdb1 4) wget http://releases.linaro.org/12.07/android/images/panda-ics-gcc47-tilt-stable… 5) chmod a+x install-binaries.sh 6) ./install-binaries.sh /dev/sdb1 After doing above steps, we inserted the SD card into the Pandaboard. We also connected other peripherals like HDMI cable, USB Mouse, USB Keyboard, Serial cable. The other end (DVI) is connected to the LED monitor. After every thing is connected correctly, we connected the power cable. However, we did not see any thing (display) in the LED monitor as well as Hyper terminal. Are we missing any thing here? Are we followed the correct steps? Is the step-6 correct? Actually, it looks as follows. $./install-binaries.sh /dev/sdX2 "device node of system partition" But, I do not understand about "device node of system partition". Please suggest us.

Some little scripts for looking at files

by Zach Pfeffer

I created the following scripts: complexity.pl while(<STDIN>) { chomp; @array = split(' ', $_); open(FILE, "< $array[2]") or next; $count = 0; $count++ while <FILE>; print("$count $array[0] $array[1] $array[2]\n"); } inline.pl while(<STDIN>) { chomp; @array = split(' ', $_); open(FILE, "< $array[5]") or next; $count = 0; while (<FILE>) { #print("$_"); if (/__asm__/) { $count++; #print("$_ $array[5]"); } } if ($count > 0) { print("$count $array[5]\n"); } } uint32.pl while(<STDIN>) { chomp; @array = split(' ', $_); open(FILE, "< $array[5]") or next; $count = 0; while (<FILE>) { #print("$_"); if (/uint32/) { $count++; #print("$_ $array[5]"); } } if ($count > 0) { print("$count $array[5]\n"); } } That you feed with awk, the consoleText of a build and a local copy of that build via: awk '/target asm:/ {print $2," ",$3," ",$5}' consoleText | perl complexity.pl | sort --sort=g -r awk '/target arm C:/ {print $1,$2,$3,$4,$5,$6}' consoleText > c_stuff.txt awk '/target arm C\+\+:/ {print $1,$2,$3,$4,$5,$6}' consoleText >> c_stuff.txt awk '/target C\+\+:/ {print $1,$2,$3,$4,$5,$6}' consoleText >> c_stuff.txt awk '/target thumb C:/ {print $1,$2,$3,$4,$5,$6}' consoleText >> c_stuff.txt awk '/target thumb C\+\+:/ {print $1,$2,$3,$4,$5,$6}' consoleText >> c_stuff.txt cat c_stuff.txt | perl inline.pl | sort -g -r Did this to find how much asm there is, how many inline __asm__ statements and how may instances of uint32 -- 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

[ANN] Filesystem image creation on android-build

by Paul Sokolovsky

Hello, Based on long-standing requests, captured as https://blueprints.launchpad.net/linaro-android-infrastructure/+spec/create… , support for creation of filesystem images as build artifacts was implemented. Such images can be (after unbzip2'ing) dd'ed directly to a memory card for streamlined testing for example. To use this feature, just add "BUILD_FS_IMAGE=1" to a builds config on https://android-build.linaro.org . This will create a $TARGET_PRODUCT.img.bz2 file in addition to usual tarballs. As this doubles size of build artifacts, please use it sparingly (it particular, I'd advise against having that as the default, at least not without Fathi's approval). The default image size is 2Gb (same as linaro-android-media-create), if you want to override that use FS_IMAGE_SIZE=4G or similar. Last point is mapping of TARGET_PRODUCT to --dev= switch value of linaro-android-media-create. So far this is: pandaboard => panda snowball => snowball_sd everything else - as is Let me know if this needs further tweaking. In particular, some boards have more than 1 --dev= value, e.g. vexpress vs vexpress-a9, snowball_emmc vs snowball_sd.

New Gator version (5.11) ready for Linaro kernels

by Jon Medhurst (Tixy)

Hello All ARM have released a new version of Developer Studio 5 (DS-5) and we now have a new version of the Gator component [1] to go with this which needs updating in all Linaro kernel trees that will be part of the 12.08 release. For those people maintaining kernel trees here is what this means... - If your kernels are including the linux-linaro-core-tracking [2] branch then you will get the new Gator version from this when it is updated over the next couple of days. You don't need to do anything except to make sure you are up to date with this branch before the 12.08 release. - For Ubuntu kernels not including linux-linaro-core-tracking (and not being released from the common linux-linaro branch) then you should replace your existing Gator topic branch (or add one if it is missing). This new topic branch can be created by pulling from the ARM Landing Team's tree [3], we have three topic branches available for the last three kernel versions... tracking-armlt-gator (3.6-rc1) 3.5-armlt-gator-5.10 3.4-armlt-gator-5.10 The code in these branches is identical, they are just rebased onto different Linux versions to make pulling easier. - For Android kernels, if your kernel already includes the Gator topic, then this should be updated as above. If it does not have the Gator topic then chance are it is being included as a separate component in the manifest file; in which case, there is nothing further which needs doing as the git repo used for this has already been updated [4]. If anyone has any questions or if anything is unclear, please do hesitate to contact me. Note, for those people who have applied Mali driver patches to support profiling by Gator: you don't need to modify those Mali patches, just take the new version of Gator, this will still work OK. Cheers -- Tixy [1] Gator is the ARM target device components for ARM's Streamline Performance Analyzer which is part of their Developer Studio (DS-5). http://www.arm.com/products/tools/software-tools/ds-5/streamline.php [2] http://git.linaro.org/gitweb?p=kernel/linux-linaro-tracking.git;a=shortlog;… [3] git://git.linaro.org/landing-teams/working/arm/kernel.git [4] http://git.linaro.org/gitweb?p=arm/ds5/gator.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/an…

Writing SDCard with system, user-data, boot tar file of Panda board build 151 is not working .

by praween kr

Hi, I'm very new to Android porting .I have *PandaBoard Revision B1* . I have all the *images of latest build 151* of Panda board. I started following the procedure as provided to flash the pre-built image. I'm stuck with writing data to SDcard as , the command provided is little tricky and no completely understandable. Can you please provide me the SDCard format type (ext2,ext3,FAT,NTFS....)for writing the data in more details. I'm completely unclear with the command provided in procedure. # Create media (this assumes your SD card is /dev/mmcblk0, you may have to replace the device name) $ bzr branch lp:~vishalbhoj/linaro-image-tools/panda-dt $ sudo panda-dt/linaro-android-media-create --dev panda --mmc /dev/mmcblk0 --system system.tar.bz2 --userdata userdata.tar.bz2 --boot boot.tar.bz2 Waiting for your reply eagerly.

Android Release 12.08 Testing

by Paul Larson

Hi everyone, I wanted to settle up the plans for 12.08 release testing on android and take a look at the current status. The big thing to note on pretty much all the jb builds is ethernet is currently unavailable. Vexpress: vexpress-jb-gcc47-armlt-tracking-open<https://android-build.linaro.org/builds/%7Elinaro-android/vexpress-jb-gcc47…>- not built successfully so far, what's the prognosis? I'm assuming this is the attempt at having both a9 and tc2 booting from the same jb based android build, and probably what we want if at all possible for 12.08. Do we have not only the tc2 bits enabled but the big.little MP bits for 12.08 also? Will it pull from linux-linaro or from the armlt tree for the release this time? vexpress-ics-gcc47-armlt-tracking-open<https://android-build.linaro.org/builds/%7Elinaro-android/vexpress-ics-gcc4…>- This is ics, which we are testing in the meantime. For a9, not looking too different from 12.07 so far. I should also mention that there have been no test results for TC2 since the 12.07 release. The QA team does not have a TC2 board at this time, so if there are any changes going in - we have nobody testing it and will need results from Tixy or Ryan on this in the meantime. (Latest news I've heard is that we have incomplete kit in cambridge, which will be sent out once they get the remaining bits) Panda: panda-jb-gcc47-tilt-tracking-blob<https://android-build.linaro.org/builds/%7Elinaro-android/panda-jb-gcc47-ti…> panda-jb-gcc47-tilt-stable-blob<https://android-build.linaro.org/builds/%7Elinaro-android/panda-jb-gcc47-ti…> We picked up the stable one for this week's testing based on recommendations from the android team last week, but it seems that the tracking build is now available. Which one do we want to use for 12.08? What are the goals or criteria for making that determination? On the stable build, many tests seem to be failing from not detecting content on the sdcard ( https://bugs.launchpad.net/linaro-android/+bug/1033953) ****Ethernet completely unavailable: https://bugs.launchpad.net/linaro-android/+bug/1032685 Snowball: snowball-jb-gcc47-igloo-stable-blob<https://android-build.linaro.org/builds/%7Elinaro-android/snowball-jb-gcc47…>- looks to be it. There was a snowball-tracking build during ICS, but I guess we aren't expecting to see that emerge again soon? ****Ethernet completely unavailable: https://bugs.launchpad.net/linaro-android/+bug/1032685 More results from Amit should be coming in very soon. Will this be released for 12.08? Origen: origen-jb-gcc47-samsunglt-stable-blob<https://android-build.linaro.org/builds/%7Elinaro-android/origen-jb-gcc47-s…> ****Ethernet completely unavailable: https://bugs.launchpad.net/linaro-android/+bug/1032685 video playback broken ( https://bugs.launchpad.net/linaro-android/+bug/1033341) but this isn't really a regression since it didn't work in ics either. Will this be released for 12.08? Nexus: galaxynexus-jb-gcc47-aosp-blob<https://android-build.linaro.org/builds/%7Elinaro-android/galaxynexus-jb-gc…> QA can't test this right now, nor can it run in LAVA at the moment. Android team is on their own here until the dust settles and we really commit to doing this and putting boards in peoples hands. Thanks, Paul Larson
