Fwd: Contributions and conflict-prone areas

by Zach Pfeffer

FYI ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Jean-Baptiste Queru <jbq(a)android.com> Date: 28 August 2012 15:59 Subject: Contributions and conflict-prone areas To: android-contrib(a)googlegroups.com I've been looking at many Android contributions recently, which gives be some good visibility over the difficulties in merging changes all the way upstream into Google's internal tree. Generally speaking, at the moment the gap between AOSP and Google's internal master tree is unusually small, and that allows a very large majority of contributions to merge without conflicts. By looking at many changes, I spotted 3 areas where merges don't go smoothly. Those areas are Bluetooth, Email, and Location, and most changes related to those cause merge problems. Digging a bit, those look like they've been refactored quite heavily in Google's internal tree, which causes the conflicts. For anyone considering to contribute in any of those 3 areas. I recommend waiting until the next major release (and I don't have any ETA for it). >From what I've seen, merges are uneventful in all other areas of the Android tree. Thanks, JBQ -- Jean-Baptiste M.

Android black-box testing with lava-blackbox (aka android-lava-wrapper)

by Zygmunt Krynicki

Hey everyone. I'd like to interest you in my progress on black-box testing for Android. The relevant code lives in: 1) Github: https://github.com/zyga/android-lava-wrapper/tree/develop Note that the develop branch will soon land to master. Currently master is an unusable older copy. I will also rename this repository to lava-blackbox or lava-android-blackbox (to be determined later) 2) Launchpad: https://code.launchpad.net/~zkrynicki/lava-android-test/blackbox This branch is almost ready to land. I will finish the details tomorrow or on Monday. The project history and up-to-date status is in this blueprint: https://blueprints.launchpad.net/linaro-android/+spec/aosp-tests-on-jb You can observe the latest results I've produced this way here: http://validation.linaro.org/lava-server/dashboard/streams/anonymous/zyga/b… Best regards ZK -- Zygmunt Krynicki Linaro Validation Team s/Validation/Android/

by Zach Pfeffer

Hey Tixy, Did, https://android-build.linaro.org/builds/~linaro-android/vexpress-jb-gcc47-a… boot at all? Did it just crash on a few boot tests? I'm asking because I think it'd be good to get one build on the release branhc, even if we need a release note with it? -- 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

Is there a UI for ECM?

by Jon Medhurst (Tixy)

Hi Kejun I see that ECM has now been committed to Jelly Bean, thanks for working on this. :-) However, I can't find any GUI in the 'Settings' app for editing the ethernet connection like there was in ICS. Should there be one? Or am I missing some configuration in my vexpress device files? Thanks -- Tixy

Linaro AOSP on Pandaboard Boot Error

by Aaron Lindsay

I am attempting to build Linaro's latest stable AOSP build for the pandaboard (https://android-build.linaro.org/builds/~linaro-android/panda-master-gcc44-…). It appears to build fine, but unfortunately when I load it on the SD card and attempt to boot the pandaboard, I get the message: "ERROR: Did not find a cmdline Flattened Device Tree Could not find a valid device tree" I've attached the full log up through this error. I have followed the directions from the page I linked above. Please let me know if you need more information from me about my build environment, other logs, etc. and I'll be happy to supply them. Thanks! -Aaron Lindsay

Re: adb shell spwns non-root shell for -tests builds

by Zygmunt Krynicki

W dniu 23.08.2012 00:41, Ron Munitz pisze: > Hi, > Do you have ro.secure somewhere in your "getprop" ? No, I've checked that, I also checked the privilege drop code path so I'm sure I'm not taking it. A hint: -tests builds run adbd as shell (or quickly drop so I could not notice), -eng builds keep them as root. > If ro.secure==1 you'll be defaulted to the shell user - so that's what > you need to change (try build.prop) build.prop is identical in both builds > > Does "adb root" work for you? Where should I run it? I never had to do that with -eng builds. Thanks ZK -- Zygmunt Krynicki Linaro Validation Team s/Validation/Android/

adb shell spwns non-root shell for -tests builds

by Zygmunt Krynicki

Hey So this issue has kept me up all night today. It seems that 'adb shell' gives me a non-root 'shell' account when using -tests build that uses TARGET_BUILD_VARIANT=tests. I've patched this and rebuilt but without success. My patch and rationale is here: [1], any ideas about why it is not working, what might be missing, etc - are welcome. For context, adb shell needs to give me a root account for lava-android-test to work properly.

TINY_ANDROID

by Zach Pfeffer

Hey everyone! I've had some questions about what "TINY_ANDROID" is (and isn't). I put together this Wiki to answer any questions and make some recommendations for its use. https://wiki.linaro.org/Platform/Android/UseTinyAndroid Basically this build can be built from source in about 20 min (kernel included) and support most of the low level userspace tools we need to work with. It should be ideal for 64-bit native Android porting. -- 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
