I just downloaded directfb-1.6.0pre1-2011.11.tar.bz2 from [1] and wonder
what are the build options for this?
I.e. what are the best/tested/recommended configure/compile options for
this? And maybe which compiler to use (if this matters ;) )?
Are there any binary packages available, too?
Many thanks and best regards
Dirk

These patches fix and tweak various cache settings for the 4460
resulting in a speed increase exceeding 10% in some tests.
Mans Rullgard (5):
OMAP4: apply L2 cache lockdown workaround only on 4460 ES1.0
OMAP4: enable double linefill on 4460
OMAP4: fix PL310 prefetch offset setting
OMAP4: set PL310 prefetch offset to 3
OMAP4: do not force workarounds for errata fixed in 4460

1.7.7.4
Does anyone know of a web-site or wiki page which explains the
difference between our different Ununtu image types, i.e. developer,
nano, alip, server, ubuntu-desktop.
I've a fair idea myself what these are, (apart from server), but I'm
looking for an existing document I can reference.

Hi.
I'm doing some work on the validation server (validation.linaro.org). My
work SHOULD NOT affect production but if I do something by accident any
you spot any issues please let me know immediately.
Thanks

Hi,
I got the following errors from my recent uploads to
linaro-maintainers/staging-overlay ppa:
Rejected:
Orphaned debug packages: zlib1g-udeb-dbgsym
1:1.2.3.4.dfsg-3ubuntu3linaro1 (i386)
So it seems ddebs have been enabled (thanks!), but seems broken - I
didn't do anything udeb
related while packaging, and if udebs are being dropped automatically,
seems so should be done
to the udebs dbgsym package.
Cheers,
Riku
Status report in detail - contains the delivered content for 11.11 and
the plans for 11.12 as of now:
https://wiki.linaro.org/WorkingGroups/Middleware/Graphics/WeeklyReport
Last weekly meeting notes:
https://wiki.linaro.org/WorkingGroups/Middleware/Graphics/Notes/2011-11-23
Highlights:
- Based on the meeting last week with DX side: no changed lately on
NUX. openGLES code has been merged, and believed to be functional and
working. At the moment doing more testing on NUX. There is a shift in DX
to accept branches after more testing, much of which is automated.
+ In the future there is more need for testing for functional
verification and also regression testing
+ Specification related to the tests was requested from DX. Note that
the tests for the graphics stack have not been decided yet.
+ For the Linaro side what is important is that DX team want to have
a test for every major feature/release related to openGLES. New features
should be accompanied by test code, covering the functionality as we
well as regression cases.
+ Admittedly there is still a definition pending on DX side about
what coverage to provide, not every submission will need a new test
necessarily. This is still being decided at the DX team level, and they
will communicate with Linaro on the process (still undefined on wk47)
o This delay in communicating the test specification can
potentially cause delays on Graphics WG
- Daily benchmarks running on LAVA:
+
http://validation.linaro.org/lava-server/dashboard/streams/anonymous/linaro…
+ Dealing with some final issues: Having some boot issues, probably
kernel related, which will need to be cleared this week
- Starting in 11.12 to analyse the power management work for Graphics
- Moved all Launchpad projects for Graphics WG to use trunk as their
active series of development
Any questions or clarification needed? Please let me know.

The Linaro Android Platform 11.11 Cycle
11.11 started the last week of October after Linaro 11.10 was released
on Oct 27th. The Android team had the RC for the 24th done on the 21st
so that Bernhard Rosenkränzer and I could focus on ELC-E in Prague and
the team could focus on getting ready for Linaro Connect Q4.11 in
Orlando, Oct 31st through November 4th. The theme for 11.10 had been
"make it shiny" as we wanted to put our best foot forward at ELC-E and
during Connect.
Prague went well. Bernhard and I did our presentation and ran the
booth with Ricardo Salveti. We had a bit of excitement when one of our
evening hacking sessions turned into a travel scramble as Arnd Bergman
and others tried to find alternative flights after the French Air
Strike.

Everyone got to Connect okay and we set off on a very exciting week of
planning, hacking, arguing and "socializing." We ran sessions on
device tree, sched_mc, build improvements, automated testing,
educational outreach, handling binaries, benchmarking, future plans,
QA and gave a tutorial on how to use Linaro's Android distribution.
Amit Pundir also started off his Linaro career with a great porting
Android to new platforms session. Bernhard made great strides in
supporting a dual toolchain, Chao Yang debugged libpng issues, Tony
Månsson worked on Powertutor extensions, Frans Gifford got the CI loop
working with each target, Prashanth Srinivasan onboarded by helping do
and test builds and Abhishek Paliwal worked to unify our QA tests with
each test description. We capped the week off with demos including,
Vishal Bhoj's getting a Linphone based Video Conferencing App working,
Noritsuna Imamura's Cluster Android App Engine and Botao Sun showing
WiFi on Samsung Origen, Woot! Jon Medhurst (Tixy) was also able to
make substantial progress getting Android running on Vexpress with
Mathieu Poirier's help and Michael Edwards offered to help with our
SGX upgrade.

After connect we set out to finish out 11.11, knowing that Ice Cream
Sandwich (ICS) would land at anytime. Bernhard even had a cron job
looking for new commits at AOSP. Even thought we live in the future we
can't predict it and Patrik Ryd set out to upgrade our baseline to
2.3.7. The upgrade plus our usual work of upgrading to the latest
Linaro toolchain and adding support for each board feature kept us
busy until, Nov 14th's email about ICS dropping:
http://groups.google.com/group/android-building/browse_thread/thread/4f85d9…
Alexander Sack started syncing the code the minute is was ready, I
started a build and VIshal and I started getting AOSP to compile on
Pandaboard. Vishal fixed a few issues and we tried the AOSP first
thing the next morning.

Vishal also started looking into getting this running using just
software GL and had a prototype working soon after that showed Panda
running with a Linaro kernel

With this proof on concept Mathieu was able to get Snowball running ICS

Alexander then challenged the group to get each board switched over
and to release a preliminary release on Thanksgiving. With the wind at
our backs the Linaro Android team achieved this.
We had a few snags, the largest was related to the enormous strain
that the ICS code base put on the existing infrastructure. On Friday
Nov 18th, as we were getting ready to start cutting 2.3.7 releases, we
had 2 coincident events: a cross git change that had to be reverted
and a build system that couldn't sync the code base because of the
expanded size of ICS in the git mirror. After a stand-up meeting Paul
Sokolovsky saved the day be launching his seeded build mechanism that
not only allowed the builds to go through, but cut down on the sync
time. This change brought about a paradigm shift in build performance
and reliability.
11.11 was an incredible cycle. The lessons learned were:
1. Gerrit doesn't handle cross git changes so it should be extended to
2. We need to ensure that each target in LAVA is stable
3. If things are starting to get chaotic then anyone can yell
stopthepresses in #linaro-android and we'll all stop and regroup
For 11.12 the high-level plan is to:
1. Compile ICS with Linaro's 4.6 Toolchain and send the source
modifications to Google
2. Integrate our work on 2.3.7 including, libjpeg-turbo and ds-5 into
ICS and send the changes to Google
3. Get PoCs for each binary, get them into linaro-android, enabling
graphics and multimedia
11.12 starts tomorrow, Nov 28th, the 11.12 RCs will come out Dec. 20th
and be cut on the 18th. Its going to be a great December!

You can do all of this right now. Though, we don't publish an analysis
between releases as you suggest on step 4.
