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. ;)

Hello,
We keep having cases of out of disk space, latest we had is
https://bugs.launchpad.net/linaro-android-infrastructure/+bug/1055546 .
The reason this happens so often is that Jenkins has a broken build
expiration process - it is applied to jobs which are actually built. If
a job is left unattended, its builds will stay forever. This is
long-standing known issue, and I manually deleted stale builds in this
case, while queuing need to write a script for that, which I'm going to
start with now.
To remind, we have following build retention policy:
1) Release builds stay forever
2) Official daily builds kept for 3 months
3) Personal builds kept for 1 month
With new expiration script to be developed, many builds will
be "suddenly" (but in full accordance with the policy above) gone. So,
I would like to ask all Android developers to look thru their builds to
check if you need anything old (and preserve it somewhere else then).
Zach, Fathi, Alexander, can you please do the same for old official
builds. For example,
https://android-build.linaro.org/jenkins/view/Official%20builds/job/linaro-…
would be gone completely.
In addition to the above, the issue we may have that there're lot of
empty personal jobs piled up (with builds removed per the policy
above). They clutter view largely, for example, Bero has 10 such jobs,
Zach - 8, etc. Do you still need them? Otherwise, I'd propose to add
another clause to the policy and remove such empty jobs if not updated
within last 3 months. Let me know what you think.
Thanks,
Paul

Dear linaro,
I follow the page https://wiki.linaro.org/ChaoYang/Sandbox/tjbench to use the benchmark of libjpeg62 in my computer ,which operation system is Ubuntu 11.10.
Run the " tjbench /mnt/mytmpfs/nightshot_iso_100.ppm 95 -rgb -quiet scale 1/2
tjbench /mnt/mytmpfs/nightshot_iso_100.ppm 95 -rgb " in terminal ,result tell me it is correct.
But when I use " tjbench-libjpeg62 /mnt/mytmpfs/nightshot_iso_100.ppm 95 -rgb -quiet scale 1/2
tjbench-libjpeg62 /mnt/mytmpfs/nightshot_iso_100.ppm 95 -rgb " , system tell me it can not find "tjbench-libjpeg62"
,did libjpeg-turbo-1.2.1 only can be used in android ?
Best wishes.
Hi,
Calendar Week 39: We had Linaro android 12.09 release this week. Here
is test result summary on following boards:
1) ARM Versatile Express A9
2) ST-Ericsson Snowball Board
3) TI Panda Board 4430
4) TI Panda Board 4460
5) Samsung Origen Board
*Synopsis: This week, Linaro Image Tool 12.09 version was used to flash
SD-card for testing. Installation instructions are missing on all the
android build pages. Glmark2 can now be run successfully on Snowball and
Panda too. "Deadlock" error no longer exists on Vexpress-a9 board and for
some reason "clock" application fails on Origen board. *
Detail Report for all the boards:
*1. ARM Versatile Express A9 - Android (Column I)*
Test Results:
https://docs.google.com/a/linaro.org/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AkxwyUNxNaAadExQd…
Installation instruction is missing. "DEADLOCK" error has been eliminated.
Device Tree is still unavailable although the blob files now can be loaded
successfully. This is an expected result since it's caused by a UEFI defect
as Ryan mentioned before. Although "Calendar" app can be launched and shown
successfully, bug 1057208 actually makes it unusable - failed to add any
event item. All other features remain same status as previous week.
*2) ST-Ericsson Snowball Board - Android(Column I)*
Test Results:
https://docs.google.com/a/linaro.org/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AkxwyUNxNaAadEF1N…
Install instruction missing on the build page. With 12.09 release "GLMARK2"
test case is working which used to fail earlier.
*3) TI Panda Board 4430 - Android(Column Z)*
*
*
Test Results:
https://docs.google.com/a/linaro.org/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AkxwyUNxNaAadGVWd…
On Panda board hardware graphics acceleration, glmark2 and 0xbench works
fine with 12.09 release build.
*4) TI Panda Board 4460(Column Q)*
Test Results:
https://docs.google.com/a/linaro.org/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AkxwyUNxNaAadGVWd…
Test results same as 4430.
*5) Samsung Origen Board(Column D)*
Test Results:
https://docs.google.com/a/linaro.org/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AkxwyUNxNaAadDRDV…
Installation instruction is missing. The other features remain the same
status as last week, except the "Clock" app. More details can be found in
bug 1032703.
Note - For the previous week (Calendar week 38) summary, please refer to
attachment.
Thanks,

For people trying to build Linaro Android 12.08 there's an issue with an
unknown reference in powertop2.0.
Here's what to do:
cd android
edit .repo/manifest.xml
Find:
<project groups="path:external/powertop,name:tools/powertop-2.0"
name="tools/powertop-2.0" path="exter\
nal/powertop" remote="linaro-other"
revision="c80f55d9d1b823b7f6ff447eefc8a6ba04b939c4"/>
...and remove the line. Then
cp .repo/manifest.xml ../
cd ..
rm -rf android/
edit linaro_android_build_cmds.sh
and change
curl -k
http://snapshots.linaro.org/android/~linaro-android/vexpress-jb-gcc47-armlt…
>
.repo/manifest.xml
to
cp ../manifest.xml .repo/
and rerun linaro_android_build_cmds.sh
You can also take a tip build which is not susceptible to this problem. Tip
builds that have been booted are listed at:
https://docs.google.com/a/linaro.org/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AnpUtxWjZbP9dGg0d…
If you still get errors after this, then its a general git timeout error.
Just delete the android/ directory and start again or cd android/; repo
./sync

Hi everybody,
It’s reported that linaro android 4.0.4 boost performance by up to 100% over AOSP because of the optimization of bionic libc, especially the functions memchr( ), strlen( ) and so on. But I found that there is no difference between linaro source code and AOSP source code in these functions. Is there anything wrong?
Thanks & Best Regards!

Hi
I wanted to execute USB_modeswitch script when I inserted modem,
I have wrote one script(myscript.sh) which will do the switching but I am
not able to run automatically when I plugged my 3G dongle
My device is initially detecting as a cd-rom device and if I execute script
manually it is switching
I am not finding udevdm and udev.conf files
Did anybody tried udev rules in android
Will udev rules work in android
Thanks & Regards

Hi everybody,
I'm looking for a board to hack on Android 4. I've seen that there are several
ARM boards with Android community support: Origen, PandaBoard, Snowball, etc.
I'm interested in knowing which one is the most "open source" one, that is to
say, which one relies on the least number of proprietary drivers (es.
PandaBoard needs PowerVR binary driver for accelerated graphics, while the
Snowball board Mali 400 GPU has an experimental open source driver).
I'm also interested in which one has the best support for Android, in terms of
features supported (best Android port).
Thank you for any suggestion you'll give me!
Regards,
Diego
