Booting linux-linaro-2.6.37 on Beagle Board

by Avik Sil

Hi, I tried booting linux-linaro-2.6.37 kernel on my beagle board C4. I executed following: 1. Installed linaro on a 4 GB SD card using linaro-image-tools 0.4.1 with hwpack daily snapshot hwpack_linaro-omap3_20110125-0_armel_supported.tar.gz and linaro-natty-headless-tar-20101202-1.tar.gz. It was booting properly on my BB. 2. Cloned linux-linaro-2.6.37. Changed to source directory 3. make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabi- omap2plus_defconfig 4. make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabi- menuconfig (enabled EARLY_PRINTK) 5. make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabi- uImage 6. make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabi- modules 7. make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabi- modules_install INSTALL_MOD_PATH=/media/rootfs 8. cp arch/arm/boot/uImage /media/boot; sync Everything went on smoothly. Then I put the SD card on BB and powered it on. I got a kernel panic: http://paste.ubuntu.com/560562 Please help me figuring out the problem. Is it because I didn't create uInitrd? If so, then how to create it for ARM? Regards, Avik

Efikamx bootloader help

by Per Forlin

Hi, If I mess up the u-boot in my efikamx smart book how can I install a new one? I tried booting with an SD-card image from http://www.powerdeveloper.org/asset/by-id/116. I guess this only works if I have a working u-boot in place. I don't have the serial/JTAG connector. Is this what I need in order to recover? Thanks, Per

Display support for Pandaboard

by Anand Gadiyar

Hi all, Per Nicolas' request, I've compiled a list of all patchsets needed to get functional display on the Pandaboard. There are 35 patches in all, over 6 series, plus one patch for the board file to enable the DVI support. I've set up two branches (against v2.6.38-rc4, and against the head of linux-linaro-2.6.37 as of today) to make it easy for people to extract and test these. They are available in my git tree here: git://dev.omapzoom.org/pub/scm/anand/linux-omap-usb.git in the display-patches-for-v2.6.38-rc4 and display-patches-for-linaro-37 branches respectively. I've updated the bug report for this issue (Bug #707038) with links to the component series, as well as the link to my tree above. (I'll make sure these two branches stick around - at least as a reference - until the patches make it upstream). @Nicolas, None of these have been queued up by the respective maintainers yet, so they aren't in linux-next as of today. However I believe there are no outstanding review comments for these. I can send a pull request for these if it's okay with you. Let me know if you need them based off any particular tag/commit/branch. - Anand

[pytimechart] new cpuidle tracepoint

by Vincent Guittot

Hi, I have started to use the new cpuidle tracepoint and created a plugin for pytimechart. I'm not sure if it's the right way to add this cpuidle trace format update but it's the less intrusive one.

Thumb-2 kernel on imx51/efikamx

by Dave Martin

Hi, Just tested the imx51 Thumb-2 kernel on efikamx here -- it boots fine, but we only went as far as the initramfs. Is anyone currently relying on CONFIG_LATENCYTOP? If so, we should investigate what the incompatibility is...
