Hello,
There were increasing Android build times during last month again
(going over 3.5hrs). Yesterday, I re-created the seed, but that didn't
improve times match. I did more stats on builds and it turns out that
we spend almost 1.5hrs in copying ever-growing overlay collection to
the slaves via sluggish CopyToSlave Jenkins plugin.
That's issues known for at least half-year, and was in queue for being
reworked. I didn't work on android-build closely for few months, but
now that I'm back on maintenance, I'd like to start with fixing this
long-overdue issue.
The idea was to pull all the needed overlay, straight to a slave. The
complication here was handling of license protected files.
ci.linaro.org had the same issue, and used a script to handle
automatic downloads for some time. However, as of now, it was switched
to other process and the script git bitrotted with recent
linaro-license-protection codebase changes. I took a look at revamping
it, but then though that it may be a good idea to use simpler and
more explicit process, following closely click-thru usage. So, if you
want to use a license-protected binaries in a build, you'd need to
specify:
ACCEPT_LICENSE=<license_id>
Where <license_id> is id under which license is registered in
linaro-license-protection. One good way to figure it out is to read the
license page at all (well, as HTML source, the id is included in some
links). Wording of variable name (as well as of commands in underlying
implementation) is also explicit to point that its usage construes
license acceptance.
I prototypes these changes using
https://android-build.linaro.org/builds/~pfalcon/panda-jb-gcc47-tilt-tracki…
which is down to 2h10m build time. I'm ready to migrate all builds
tomorrow, while we're early in cycle start.
Please let me know if there're any issues with approach or proposed
migration timeframe, otherwise let's make android-build rock again.
Thanks,
Paul

Subject: fetch code issue
Hi,
I'm trying to get Linaro source code according to the guide of "Building
>From Source code" at http://releases.linaro.org/13.01/android/vexpress,
while always failed with message "error: Exited sync due to fetch errors".
Also, I noticed that there is another option -l to specify login-id, and I
just use the default one, is that OK?
Here is the command I used and the error message I met, please help to
check whether there are anything wrong. Thanks.

I've just tested out the 13.01 release notes again by following them to
recreate and replacing my TC2's firmware and configure UEFI; and that
works for me to boot a fresh 13.01 Android image from an SD card.
If you aren't having any success with that configuration, then further
things I can suggest are:
1) To make sure any firmware changes have really taken hold, try erasing
all the NOR flash. You can do this from the bootloader Cmd> prompt by
entering "flash" to get a Flash> prompt, then enter 'eraseall'. After
the flash has finished erasing, reboot the board and the firmware will
be reprogrammed again.
2) In case there is an error in the UEFI config (I know it's a bit
fiddly to enter) then you could try the Linaro firmware zip we have for
the forthcoming 13.02 release [1]. This has a UEFI version which ignores
the SD card UUID and so doesn't need reconfiguring every time you create
a new disk image. It also has the benefit that the default boot config
will work without you needing to manually set anything. If you try this
latest UEFI, I suggest you also erase the flash as above, to make extra
sure there is no old config left over from a previous version.

Hi All,
I have tried to use the build scripts(linaro android build
cmds) to build Android for Vexpress but I meet always Git errors during
source downloading.
I did it for different version
2012.07/2012.08/2012.09 and so on and always I met Giterrors (NOT VALID
sha....) on some projects.
Could you help me to solve it?
thanks,
Fabio
Dear sir,
I saw that some devices when I insert the charger inside the plug of the
tablet they switch automatically on (such as Ipad or Iphone). The tablet
that I bought does not support this function but if I insert the charger,
the animation of the battery automatically starts so I believe that the CPU
could start the OS. After some research I figured out that I must modify the
Boot Image and so I need to bake a custom rom able to boot the OS when I
insert the charger into the plug. Can anyone help me? it's really important,
I am been working on this in the last two months with zero results.
PLEASE HELP
THANK YOU
Br,
