The 17.12 release of the Enterprise Reference Platform is out and available for download! The prebuilt binaries are available from http://releases.linaro.org/reference-platform/enterprise/17.12/ and you can view the release notes at https://platforms.linaro.org/documentation/Reference-Platform/Platforms/Ent… or see below. # 17.12 Release Notes - Linaro Enterprise Reference Platform The goal of the Linaro Enterprise Reference Platform is to provide a fully tested, end to end, documented, open source implementation for ARM based Enterprise servers. The Reference Platform includes kernel, a community supported userspace and additional relevant open source projects, and is validated against existing firmware releases. The Linaro Enterprise Reference Platform is built and tested on Linaro Enterprise Group members hardware and the Linaro Developer Cloud. It is intended to be a reference example for use as a foundation for members and partners for their products based on open source technologies. The members and partners to include distribution, hyperscaler or OEM/ODM vendors, can leverage the reference for ARM in the datacenter. ## Reference Platform Kernel - 4.14 based, including backports of already upstreamed patches to fix issues discovered during QA. - Unified tree, used by both the CentOS and Debian Reference Platforms - Focused on ACPI and UEFI use-cases. - Single kernel config and binary (package) for all hardware platforms ## Debian - Network Installer based on Debian 9.2 "Stretch" - Unified Reference Platform Kernel based on 4.14 ## Enterprise Components - Docker 1.12.6 - Bigtop 1.2 stack (Hadoop 2.7.3, Spark 2.1, Hive 1.1.3) - ELK 5.4.1 - OpenJDK 8 - Libvirt 3.8.0 - QEMU 2.10 - DPDK 17.11 ## Supported Hardware Platforms - Cavium ThunderX - HiSilicon D03 - HiSilicon D05 - HP Proliant m400 - Qualcomm Centriq 2400 ## Known Issues ### Bootloader - [3495](https://bugs.linaro.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3495) Unable to use Device-Tree with GRUB ### RPK: - [3451](https://bugs.linaro.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3451) LTP: keyctl03 fails with "Failed to add key" - [3469](https://bugs.linaro.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3469) LTP syscalls/madvise09 fails with "Found corrupted page" - [3174](https://bugs.linaro.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3174) Docker triggered problem causes crash in tty subsystem. ### Qualcomm Centriq 2400: - [3492](https://bugs.linaro.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3492) QDF2400: DMI information missing ### D05: - [2657](https://bugs.linaro.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2657) [D03] [D05] Confusing Ethernet port sequence - [3206](https://bugs.linaro.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3206) lscpu shows wrong cpu layout on D05 - [3450](https://bugs.linaro.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3450) Need for HPM File Generation for Firmware 17.10 - [3169](https://bugs.linaro.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3169) can't enable sr-iov on D05 with Intel 82599.

Linaro 16.12 available for download!

by Koen Kooi

"I retain the right to change my mind, as always. Le Linus e mobile." ~ Linus Torvalds The Linaro 16.12 release is now available for download! This is probably the last installment of this monthly largely autogenerated email. Fewer and fewer components in Linaro have monthly cycles and with other changes scheduled for 2017 this email has become less than useful. The releases and snapshot they are based on will continue, but no email about them anymore. Also: shortest cycle ever! If you have snow where you live, I’m very jealous. If you live on the southern hemisphere with hot, sunny weather, I’m also very jealous. If you like rain, wind and gloom, come visit me! Enjoy the holidays! Using the Android-based images ======================= The Android-based images come in three parts: system, userdata and boot. These need to be combined to form a complete Android install. For an explanation of how to do this please see: http://wiki.linaro.org/Platform/Android/ImageInstallation If you are interested in getting the source and building these images yourself please see the following pages: http://wiki.linaro.org/Platform/Android/GetSource http://wiki.linaro.org/Platform/Android/BuildSource Using the OpenEmbedded-based images ======================= With the Linaro provided downloads and with ARM’s Fast Models virtual platform, you can boot a virtual ARMv8 system and run 64-bit binaries. For more information please see: http://www.linaro.org/engineering/armv8 Using the Debian-based images ======================= The Debian-based images consist of two parts. The first part is a hardware pack, which can be found under the hwpacks directory and contains hardware specific packages (such as the kernel and bootloader). The second part is the rootfs, which is combined with the hardware pack to create a complete image. For more information on how to create an image please see: http://wiki.linaro.org/Platform/DevPlatform/Ubuntu/ImageInstallation Getting involved ============ More information on Linaro can be found on our websites: * Homepage: http://www.linaro.org * Wiki: http://wiki.linaro.org Also subscribe to the important Linaro mailing lists and join our IRC channels to stay on top of Linaro developments: * Announcements: http://lists.linaro.org/mailman/listinfo/linaro-announce * Development: http://lists.linaro.org/mailman/listinfo/linaro-dev * IRC: #linaro on irc.linaro.org or irc.freenode.net #linaro-android irc.linaro.org or irc.freenode.net Known issues with this release ===================== Bug reports for this release should be filed in Bugzilla (http://bugs.linaro.org) against the individual packages or projects that are affected.

Linaro 16.10 is available for download, now without spurious paste buffers

by Koen Kooi

Apparently the terminal session from the tab next to the script generating these notes ended up in the other mail, and of course I didn't check the top of the mail, only the bottom, so here's the announcement without build logs and fetches: -- The first rule of all intelligent tinkering is to keep all the parts. -- Aldo Leopold, quoted in Donald Wurster's "Nature's Economy" The Linaro 16.10 release is now available for download!

Linaro 16.07 Release Available for Download

by Koen Kooi

As soon as we started programming, we found to our surprise that it wasn't as easy to get programs right as we had thought. Debugging had to be discovered.

But it does move! -- Galileo Galilei The Linaro 16.03 release is now available for download! A relatively short cycle thanks to BKK16.

The Linaro 16.02 release is now available for download!

by Koen Kooi

Sir, it's very possible this asteroid is not stable. -- C3P0 The Linaro 16.02 release is now available for download! This cycle contains a big, but hopefully invisible change: all artefacts for 16.02 are now hosted using Amazon S3. Personally, it meant that both upload and downloads speeds increased six-fold, making my release week coffee breaks a lot shorter. In the future Andy & Ben will turn on geo-clouding for even more bandwidth improvements for people outside of North America. As I said 'hopefully' above, don't hesitate to email me if you suspect something is not as it should be with this release. As with the previous two cycles, the OE release comes with a lot of qualifiers and caveats. Something has gone wrong in the CI loop which broke fetching the hwpacks for the prebuilt images, which means the prebuilts have been recycled from last cycle. Using the Android-based images ======================= The Android-based images come in three parts: system, userdata and boot. These need to be combined to form a complete Android install. For an explanation of how to do this please see: http://wiki.linaro.org/Platform/Android/ImageInstallation If you are interested in getting the source and building these images yourself please see the following pages: http://wiki.linaro.org/Platform/Android/GetSource http://wiki.linaro.org/Platform/Android/BuildSource Using the OpenEmbedded-based images ======================= With the Linaro provided downloads and with ARM’s Fast Models virtual platform, you can boot a virtual ARMv8 system and run 64-bit binaries. For more information please see: http://www.linaro.org/engineering/armv8 Using the Debian-based images ======================= The Debian-based images consist of two parts. The first part is a hardware pack, which can be found under the hwpacks directory and contains hardware specific packages (such as the kernel and bootloader). The second part is the rootfs, which is combined with the hardware pack to create a complete image.

Reference Software Platform 15.10 Alpha Release!

by Ricardo Salveti

It took a bit longer than originally planned, but we're finally able to announce the first Reference Software Platform release (alpha). The Reference Software Platform Lead Project is part of the Linaro 96Boards initiative. The goal of the project is to deliver Linaro output for ARM SoCs using 96Boards products for use cases ranging from the Embedded to the Enterprise segments. This release includes bootloader, kernel, distributions (Debian) and AOSP. It comprise loadable software for the current 96Boards products (HiKey and Dragonboard410c), reference source code, and documentation on installing the images and building the source code. In case you are unfamiliar with the project, we had a great session that was presented during Linaro Connect SFO15, and it can be found at http://connect.linaro.org/resource/sfo15/sfo15-104-the-96boards-software-re… Goals we had for this release: * Bootstrap the CI jobs required to build and publish the components and images (more details at https://github.com/96boards/documentation/wiki/Reference-Software-CI) * Single Debian root file system that could be consumed by both HiKey and Dragonboard410c * Recent kernel, even if not yet fully functional, since the goal is to reduce maintenance and support overhead and accelerate ongoing development by focusing on upstream feature support * AOSP based on latest Android Release (6.0 Marshmallow), initially just HiKey A lot was accomplished during last month, and we're happy to announce that we're using a 4.3 based kernel for both HiKey and Dragonboard410c (Debian). The builds are still not sharing the same branch (due conflicts at the adv7511 driver), but we hope to be able to get this fixed over the next few weeks (and published as part of our next release). While the release supports many of the available hardware features for both Hikey and Dragonboard410c, it is in ALPHA state, so bugs are expected. For a better user experience, please use the previous releases available at https://builds.96boards.org/releases/dragonboard410c/ and https://builds.96boards.org/releases/hikey/. Highlights for this release: CE Debian RPBs: - Debian 8.2 "Jessie" - 4.3 kernel (with additional patches) - OpenJDK 8 included by default - 96Boards artworks and default settings CE AOSP RPB: - AOSP Android Marshmallow 6.0 - 3.18 based kernel Install instructions, known issues, test reports and instructions to build from source are all published at https://github.com/96boards/documentation/wiki/ReferenceSoftware. We should also see more progress into a more complete set of documentation during the course of the next release. For general questions or support requests, please go to the 96boards.org Community forum - https://www.96boards.org/forums/. Please submit bugs to the 96Boards.org bugzilla (https://bugs.96boards.org/). For IRC support, please go to the #96boards channel @Freeode. Make sure to check https://github.com/96boards/documentation/wiki/ReferenceSoftware for more information about this project and the release. Challenges for the next release (15.12 - official date to be announced): - Have both boards using a single kernel tree/branch and a single kernel binary - Better understanding about the upstream gaps - Adding support for CE AOSP for Dragonboard410c (with freedreno) - Adding support for CE OE/Yocto - Enterprise Edition We hope you enjoy the release!

Linaro 15.10 Available for download!

by Koen Kooi

"Once a word has been allowed to escape, it cannot be recalled." ~ Horace, Epistles The Linaro 15.10 release is now available for download! There are some exciting changes this cycle! The ubuntu images now have 64-bit counterparts available and LCR has 'M' builds available, for Juno it's an engineering preview but for the other platforms it's a regular release. For OpenEmbedded the aarch64 kernel moved from 3.10 to 3.18 and has a few more systemd related options enabled. The images themselves have also switched to systemd for init and networking. This has led to a number of regressions, but last minute fixes allow the images to boot into a shell and execute LAVA tests. While technically not part of a release, it does warrant an extra mention: Old releases have been archived. >From https://lists.linaro.org/pipermail/linaro-release/2015-October/000472.html: "As part of BB-149 old releases have been moved to http://releases.linaro.org/archive/. 'Old' meaning 2011, 2012 and 2013. The first reports of things breaking are tricking in, OpenWRT apparently uses binutils-linaro 13.05 and Fathi mentioned that various LAVA health checks are failing now. If you encounter such an issue, add the 'archive/' bit to the URL, e.g. sed -i -e s:org/13:org/archive/13:g \ -e s:org/12:org/archive/12:g \ -e s:org/11:org/archive/11:g <your text files> We of course recommend trying out more recent releases for current projects, but if you can't upgrade the archive is there to stay."

Linaro 15.07 Available for download!

by Koen Kooi

"Tell everyone what you want to do and someone will want to help you do it." ~ W. Clement Stone The Linaro 15.07 release is now available for download! For this cycle we've moved to a new layout for the releases.linaro.org server to make it easier to navigate between different versions of components. Instead of having a top level version like '15.07/openembedded/aarch64' we now have a bottom level version like 'openembedded/aarch64/15.07'. The toplevel 'latest' symlink has also changed to bottom level, so 'openembedded/aarch64/latest' will always point to the latest version. This fixes the inaccurate 'latest' link for components that aren't on a monthly cycle. See the detailed highlights of this release to get an overview of what has been accomplished by the Working Groups, Landing Teams and Automation & CI Teams: Accomplishments * Linux Linaro 4.2-rc3-2015.07 is released: * based on v4.2-rc3 * linaro-android topic updated to 4.2-rc3 and recent AOSP/android-3.18 * included GATOR version 5.21.1 * llct-misc-fixes topic: "HACK: of: Limit FDT size for CRC check on arm64" has been dropped. FVP model was the last target to require this hack, but the new FVP firmware doesn't need it anymore * updated integration-linaro-vexpress64 topic by ARM LT: Versatile Express TC2 support is back, HDLCD display now works on TC2, the topic will be renamed to integration-linaro-vexpress next cycle * updated integration-linux-qcomlt topic by Qualcomm LT: QCOM Core Power Reduction (CPR) support has been added * linaro-builddeb-tweaks topic is dropped (most of our changes have been upstreamed) * Linaro builds of AOSP 15.07 is released: * Android baseline updated to 5.1.1_r8 * ART CI setup for TIP and stable builds * Boot to gui tests added for tip and stable builds * ART code coverage for tip and stable builds * m-preview based builds setup for emulators * ART-host-gtests added for tip and stable builds * Hikey builds updated to 5.1.1_r8. Android boots with UEFI and GRUB on HiKey. Wifi drivers are integrated in the build system. Drivers are built as part of Android build process. * Linaro OpenEmbedded 2015.07 is released: * integrated Linaro GCC 4.9-2015.06 * updated linux-linaro to 4.2-rc3 * disabled aarch64 bootwrapper * integrated various improvements for LNG CI * upstreaming: * fixed bootimg.bbclass to work with all kernel image types * fixed cmake builds for native recipes * Linaro Ubuntu 15.07 is released: * updated packages: fvp-pre-boot (FVP firmware), LSK 3.10.83/3.14.45/3.18.17 and linux-linaro 4.2-rc3 kernels * 96boards contributions: * DragonBoard 410c is now using NetworkManager only to manage the network (previously a combination with systemd-networkd/resolved has been used). * HiKey made some progress toward the switch to UEFI. GRUB is now integrated into the snapshots builds for both AOSP and Debian. * Initial Debian based build for Marvell PXA1928 Helium is setup and available.

Linaro Confectionary Release (LCR) 14.12 released

by Fathi Boudra

"Any technology that does not appear magical is insufficiently advanced." ~ Gregory Benford Linaro is pleased to announce the first Linaro Confectionery Release (LCR). LCR is a reference build of the Android-5.0.1_r1 branch for ARM’s Juno and Versatile Express TC2 hardware, and Fixed Virtual Platform (FVP) models. The goal of LCR is to provides a foundation for tested Linaro engineering efforts integrated with Android point releases. Only engineering efforts which have an established validation record are allowed to be added to LCR. LCR is conceptually similar to the Linaro Stable Kernel (LSK) project which uses Greg Kroah-Hartman’s Long Term Stable (LTS) source tree with Linaro members features added. LCR charts a comparable course that starts with Android point releases and includes Linaro member directed engineering to fix, optimize and enhance LCR. For 14.12, LCR uses the Android AOSP 4.9 GCC toolchain for building 64bit ARM binaries and the Android AOSP 4.8 GCC toolchain for building 32bit ARM binaries. LCR includes the 3.10 Android flavour of LSK for all 3 currently supported configurations. This means that the LSK includes Android kernel patches from the AOSP project. The Juno kernel includes ARM Mali drivers for accelerated 3D graphics support. LCR includes support for both single-arch 32bit ARMv7-A and multi-arch 32bit ARMv7-A, 64bit ARMv8-A Android systems. LCR is tested. CTS version 5.0, Android BIONIC tests, Android Monkey and other tests are used to validate the system. Testing performed should not be considered to exhaustive or necessarily product quality. Test results are available to Linaro member companies. The release can be found respectively at: * Juno: http://releases.linaro.org/14.12/android/lcr/juno * FVP: http://releases.linaro.org/14.12/android/lcr/fvp * Versatile Express TC2: http://releases.linaro.org/14.12/android/lcr/vexpress-tc2 If you should find a issue or have a question about the release, we invite you to use one of the following mechanisms: * IRC: irc.freenode.net - #linaro-android * email: linaro-android(a)lists.linaro.org * Bug Tracking System: Linaro Android project/Linaro Confectionary release component (https://bugs.linaro.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=Linaro%20Android) Support is on a “best effort” basis. -- Fathi Boudra, on behalf of the LMG/Android Team and Release Team Linaro.org | Open source software for ARM SoCs
