Hi, I'm trying to follow the instructions here http://www.linaro.org/members/arm/ve_12.08#tab2 to rebuild the Android RootFS+Kernel. When i run the 'linaro_android_build_smds.sh' script it fails during the repo sync with an error when trying to sync powertop: GitError: tools/powertop-2.0 update-ref: fatal: c80f55d9d1b823b7f6ff447eefc8a6ba04b939c4^0: not a valid SHA1 ..... error: Exited sync due to fetch errors > This is one a fresh install of Ubuntu 12.04 in a VM after having installed the packages listed with apt. Is their something wrong with the manifest for 12.08 or is the powertop-2.0 repo corrupt? thanks, -Pete Fordham

NI Power Meter Results

by Zach Pfeffer

Just wanted to share this with everyone. I've attached the "output" folder that the NI instrument creates for each test session. In the results file you'll see a text doc called results.txt that lists the comma delimited parameters that get measured followed by the measurements themselves: Current Cycle Average,Current Cycle RMS,Current Mean (DC),Current Negative Peak,Current Peak to Peak,Current Positive Peak,Current RMS,Volt Cycle Average,Volt Cycle RMS,Volt Mean (DC),Volt Negative Peak,Volt Peak to Peak,Volt Positive Peak,Volt RMS See: https://docs.google.com/a/linaro.org/file/d/0B3pUtxWjZbP9bFhqNGZfYzNSMWs/ed… Included in each record is a Record Number that indexes into the "report directory." Each directory is marked with an index and under that directory is the graph associated with the data for example: https://docs.google.com/a/linaro.org/file/d/0B3pUtxWjZbP9VnVQS3M4WWx1OVk/ed… In addition, controlling the instrument is super easy. You connect to the box over TCP/IP the you can send 5 single character commands in any order: 1,0,s,e,r 1 turns the power on 0 turns it off s starts a measurement e ends a measurement r records r is destructive, so if you send an r it erase the previous data record. The data record does survive instrument restarts (as opposed to having an implicit r at the start of the measurement. At any point the existing data set can simply be uploaded. One minor point. This instrument produces a lot of data, instead of moving all this data around, the instrument can be configured to do all the measurement, making the analyzed data set easier to understand and faster to upload. Comments and questions welcome.

LAVA_ANDROID_BINARIES=True TARGET_BUILD_VARIANT=tests Here LAVA_ANDROID_BINARIES is used to set if we need to install the hardware binaries that google provided. and TARGET_BUILD_VARIANT is used to build all the test applications for blackbox. -- Thanks, Yongqin Liu --------------------------------------------------------------- #mailing list linaro-android(a)lists.linaro.org http://lists.linaro.org/mailman/listinfo/linaro-android linaro-validation(a)lists.linaro.org http://lists.linaro.org/pipermail/linaro-validation

Re: Could you help to deploy the latest lava-android-test and lava-dispatcher to production instance

I'll have a look at the results and compare them quickly but I suspect we are doing good. Let's plan subsequent steps during the next weekly sync meeting. I'm in Zach's timezone now so please take that under consideration. One more thing: I would love to convince someone with a google nexus phone to flash a "vanilla nexus + tests" build and run lava-blackbox. We need reference results from a known-good device. Thanks Best regards (and hello from Montreal) ZK
