Dear Linaro,
I am looking at using the ALIP filesystem on a Cortex-A8 based RTSM model (Fast Model). My question is whether the base filesystem can be used without the HWPACK? In other words, can I use the "http://releases.linaro.org/platform/linaro-n/alip/11.08/alip-n-tar-20110823…" as an NFS root filesystem standalone?
Regards,
Fred

Hi,
I initiate an install script for ucm configurations. The basic idea is --
1. Decide the destination directory (if not specified by
arguments, detect it)
2. Decide target sound card (must be specified by argument, and
only the target configurations will be installed)
3. After copying ucm configurations to destinations, initiate the
alsa mixer to ucm default values
The script is install.sh at
http://git.linaro.org/gitweb?p=people/weifeng/alsa-ucm-conf.git.
Please check and if there're more requirements for linaro 1109
release, please tell me.

Setting "Double linefill enable" bit improves memcpy performance
from ~750 MB/s to ~1150 MB/s when working with large buffers and
also the performance of just anything which may need good memory
bandwidth (for example, software rendered graphics).
Additionally setting "Double linefill on WRAP read disable" bit
compensates most of the random access latency increase.

Wk36 meeting minutes:
https://wiki.linaro.org/WorkingGroups/Middleware/Graphics/Notes/2011-09-07
== Highlights ==
Release-wise the work is getting along fine. Headlines and Acceptance
criteria updated to nearly all blueprints for 1109
In particular:
- Unity/Nux/Compiz: work is ongoing based on the discussion we have
had to deliver code to Oneiric, working together with the Ubuntu side
and upstream (compiz and nux maintainers are also handling the Ubuntu
branches for Oneiric) - the work has been testing the maintainer's nux
branch, merging our gles branch with oneiric compiz branch, and working
on getting unity using nux framebuffer object
- glmark2 - Android team integrated glmark2 into panda-leb daily
builds (assisted with some issues). Finished and merged desktop effects
(blur) benchmark. Bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/glmark2/+bug/850116
reported, seems to not be a glmark2 issue at least based on the
investigation till now.
- GLcompbench: reviewed pending merges, work progressing well there,
and changed glcompbench to use glproxy instead of directly linking with
each backend.
- GLEW: Making ES extensions optional in generic glew lib (which will
contain extensions from both desktop OpenGL and OpenGL ES) and also
glewinfo now gives information on OpenGL ES extensions supported.

Last meeting minutes:
https://wiki.linaro.org/WorkingGroups/Middleware/Multimedia/Notes/2011-09-06
== Highlights ==
* 1109: some small changes. There will be no speex codec optimization
during 1109. That work was postponed for a number of reasons - mentioned
in the status report above. Suffice it to say that the work did not make
sense anymore. Despite this postponing of the optimization work for
speex, there is possibility to make a speex package available through
the Multimedia WG PPA to try on ARM.
* 1109 [Community effort] - the x264 work was split a bit more - there
are now 3 avenues for the optimization, through parameters, preload
engine, and NEON. For 1109 the community folks will provide instructions
on how to set parameters in order to enable real-time encoder for video
conferencing - this will be provided in the wiki
* OpenMAX presentation created and shared with linaro-dev (thread :
http://lists.linaro.org/pipermail/linaro-dev/2011-September/007492.html)
* UMM documentation updated - this needs to be hosted in a better place
following Kiko's friendly reminders.
* HDMI audio output has issue in certain resolution mode (1360x768) -
bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/849625 has been reported and is
being investigated now
* Tom Gall is doing some side-by-side comparison of LJT on android using
Nexus One devices. Possibly youtube material from this experiment.
Let me know if you have questions or if something is unclear/missing
from this report.
Best,
