Hi all,
We have been working on unifying the tracking-origen and tracking-vexpress
android manifests into one. The last bits and pieces went in last week and
I was finally able to update the official builds this weekend.
There are some changes you should be aware of:
- tracking.xml introduced which supports both devices
- kernel and u-boot are now located under kernel/linaro/<device> and
u-boot/linaro/device
- tracking.xml uses repo groups to enable synching of only those gits
needed for either device (more on this below)
I will push a patch to remove the old manifests today. We hope to move more
devices to this format going forward.
To use the repo groups support use the -g flag when you do repo init.
$ repo init -u ... -b ... -m tracking.xml -g "group1, group2,..."
There are currently 3 groups you need to be aware of:
1. common, all gits which are common
2. origen, all gits which are specific for origen
3. vexpress, all gits which are specific for vexpress
Getting the vexpress code (for instance):
$ repo init -u ... -b ... -m tracking.xml -g "common,vexpress"
A REPO_GROUPS build config parameter has been introduced to
android-build.linaro, both the official builds are using it.
Regards,
Axel
Hi Guys
I was told the only way Android ADB can connect to the RTSM is using the ADB that is built/paired with the same build running on RTSM.
I am trying to run Linaro ICS 12.12 on different versions of the RTSM but all of them give me "device offline".
It is proving a bit difficult so I am wondering if anyone has been able to do this, and I like to know which versions of ADB
or SDK works?
I have tried the few methods that are described on Linaro web pages including ADBHOST=<...> but they are not working.
Thanks
Ramin

Hi,
I am about to integrate the hwpack support into our android builds.
Currently the configs are hosted at :
https://github.com/MiloCasagrande/android-hwpacks
There are 2 ways to integrate them:
1. Include the git in all the manifest and specify the right hwpack in
device.mk and copy it to boot directory from common code.
2. Commit individual configs to each of the board specific repository like
device/linaro/origen, specify the same in device.mk and copy it to boot
directory from common code.
The advantage of second approach is that we don't need to maintain one more
repository and the config will be maintained closely to the device.

Vishal

Hi, bero
Sorry, just copied my question in IRC here.
<liuyq> bero, can our toolchain be used directly for NDK?
<bero> liuyq: Probably just needs a few minor tweaks
<liuyq> in ndk/build/tools/DEV-SCRIPTS-USAGE.TXT, I see such things:
<liuyq> The AOSP toolchain/ repository contains sources corresponding to
toolchains
<liuyq> that are used to build the Android platform tree. For various
reasons, they
<liuyq> need to be slightly patched for use with the NDK.
<liuyq> bero, I am confused that if the toolchain used for normal build can
be used directly for NDK?
<liuyq> bero, in our normal build, we just specify TARGET_TOOLS_PREFIX
before build, are the jni files built with the same toolchain specified by
TARGET_TOOLS_PREFIX?

Hi,
The agenda has been posted for tomorrow's meeting:
https://wiki.linaro.org/Platform/Android/Meetings/2013-01-16
Please update your weekly status and also go through the agenda and feel
free to update agenda items. Please think about any ideas for connect
discussions and demos for Demo Friday.
Regards,
Vishal
This should be set in all our builds. It disables the first boot
wizard and the lockscreen (among other things I'm still looking into).
There also seems to be a nifty little way to do this using the Trade
Federation stuff, which I've just started looking at.
