[PATCH v3 0/2] Device tree support for TWL regulators

by Rajendra Nayak

Re-sending on top of Tero's changes which are already in -next and the one which adds support for twl6030 vdd1/2/3 SMPS [1]. v3 has mainly 2 differences from v2 -1- TWL driver now uses just one table for both dt and non-dt based lookup for driver data. -2- All common regulator nodes for twl4030 and twl6030 are now defined in the twl4030.dtsi and twl6030.dtsi instead of repeating the nodes in all board files, which also means the patch ('arm/dts: twl: Pass regulator data from dt') has a dependency with the series from Benoit which adds the twl4030.dtsi and twl6030.dtsi files[2]. I have tested the patches on omap4panda and omap3beagle boards.

[RFC PATCH] hrtimers: system-wide and per-task hrtimer slacks

by Dmitry Antipov

This patch proposes a system-wide sysctl-aware default for the high-resolution timer slack value, which may be changed from 0 to HRTIMER_MAX_SLACK nanoseconds. Default system-wide and per-task values are HRTIMER_DEFAULT_SLACK. Per-task value isn't inherited across fork(); instead, newborn task uses system-wide value by default, and newborn thread uses it's group leader value.

Re: [Gumstix-users] try linaro gumstix as accesspoint for wifi?

by Sudhangathan B S

Hello Booher, I was previously using Angstrom Gnome OS given for Gumstix by Sakoman, this turned upto be a nightmare, just as you have told, with adhoc WiFi. I gave up.. I started with Linaro (Ubuntu for embedded systems by Canonical). In Linaro WiFi and bluetooth both work very well including the AdHoc mode in WiFi. In Linaro I haven't figured out how to sense ADC pins, which I was able to do using Angstrom-Gnome. So if you don't require ADC sensing for the moment, you can start with Linaro.

is there fence like abstraction for hwmem+cma

by Westermann Fu

Hi, guys: As I know linaro is working on a unified memory manager for soc world like a similar one already exists in PC world (gem/ttm). But I'm curious about how this manager handle the different sync notify between various different IP vendor? As we know, on PC the vsp+capture+graphic+display always done by one unit--the GPU, if a piece of hardware memory buffer wanted to be zero-copied between vsp/graphic/display there must be some sync/notify mechanism otherwise the race condition will occur. On gpu always an interrupt driven object fence can handle it. But in soc, there is no integrated vsp/graphic/display, they all may come from various independent ip vendor, so there may no unified interrupt source can be collected by memory manager to know whether one buffer hasn't be completed by the previous engine and the next engine should block wait but without cpu blocked too. Thanks Regards

anybody willing to boot a test kernel on an omap34xx/omap2 board for me?

by Peter Maydell

Hi; I'm hoping somebody will be willing to run a test kernel for me on some omap boards and send me the dmesg output. (I'm trying to sort out QEMU's modelling of the OMAP ID registers and the TRMs are rather unhelpful; in particular the OMAP35x TRM claims that there are two overlapping registers at addresses 0x218-0x21c!) I've done a Beagle xM which is an OMAP3630, but I'm looking for the results for OMAP34xx/35xx (I think classic Beagle is this) and also if possible an OMAP2 board. The kernel is http://people.linaro.org/~pmaydell/uImage.test (it's the linaro 3.0 kernel with a stock omap2_defconfig and some extra printks so it shouldn't do anything too alarming to your board :-)). It needs the command line arguments 'earlyprintk debug console=ttyO2,115200' (possibly for omap2 the console tty device is different) and I'm interested in the bit of dmesg output near the start: [ 0.000000] PMM: ID register dump: [ 0.000000] register offset 0x204 value 0x0b89102f [ 0.000000] register offset 0x208 value 0x00000000 [ 0.000000] register offset 0x20c value 0x00000000 [ 0.000000] register offset 0x210 value 0x000000f0 [ 0.000000] register offset 0x214 value 0xcafeb891 [ 0.000000] register offset 0x218 value 0x0703201f [ 0.000000] register offset 0x21c value 0x015739ea [ 0.000000] register offset 0x220 value 0x1bf00000 [ 0.000000] register offset 0x224 value 0x5dd40000 [ 0.000000] OMAP3630 ES1.0 (l2cache iva sgx neon isp 192mhz_clk ) (so you don't need the initrd/modules/etc, it's ok if it doesn't boot fully.) Thanks in advance! -- PMM

Improvements to Android Build errors separation (and NOT BUILT status)

by Paul Sokolovsky

Hello, One of the issues with https://android-build.linaro.org/ is that, if build fails, it's not easy to tell if it happened because of compilation error ("real" failure) or due to non-deterministic error with setting up infrastructure for build (e.g. during source checkout). The latter not so uncommon due to vast source size of Android and complexity of cloud infrastructure. This became especially problematic with start of automated CI loop, where it leads to false negatives when doing pre-merge testing. Improving this situation was subject of few blueprints in which Infrastructure team worked, and recently, a solution was deployed. With it, if a build fails due to non-deterministic infrastructure error, it will get status of "NOT BUILT", meaning that a build never actually got to compilation phase. Suggested action in such case is to retry. Please note that Jenkins there is some inconsistency within the Jenkins itself regarding NOT BUILT status - "Pending" is used as a display name in places, and the same gray icon used as for ABORTED builds. So, please keep that in mind, or yet better use Build Frontend. Unfortunately, even short weekend testing showed that error separation achieved is not ideal (folks who participated in Connect Q4.11 session dedicated to this, may remember that I said that it would take adding AI to do that properly ;-) ). In particular, if there was an issue with manifest file (essentially, an error in Android source code), it will be reported as NOT BUILT instead of FAILED. Here's example of such build: https://android-build.linaro.org/jenkins/job/linaro-android_panda-ics-gcc44… Opposite miscategorization may also happen: very early infra error may be reported as FAILED instead of NOT BUILT. Example: https://android-build.linaro.org/jenkins/job/linaro-android_panda-ics-gcc46… So, Infrastructure team will continue to work on improving reliability of builds, but in the meantime please keep looking in the build logs for actual cause of the failure (feel free to report unexpected build status to https://bugs.launchpad.net/linaro-android-infrastructure) -- Best Regards, Paul 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

[PATCH] gic : check if there are pending interrupts

by Daniel Lezcano

The following patch checks if there are pending interrupts on the gic. This function is needed for example for the ux500 cpuidle driver. When the A9 cores and the gic are decoupled from the PRCMU, the idle routine has to check if an interrupt is pending on the gic before entering in retention mode.

Linaro Release 12.02 Postmortem Summary

by David Zinman

Postmortem and lessons learned for Linaro's release 2012.02 https://wiki.linaro.org/Cycles/1202/Release/Review Highlights and Key Successes ============================ By using proper image builds and validation with LAVA the Linaro Developer Platform can ensure all images are properly tested as soon they are published. A new proposal for the linux-linaro tree was introduced which will make the linux-linaro tree the single reference for kernel work at Linaro and should always be working against latest upstream RC release. The Linaro Developer Platform team will now be responsible for packaging and maintenance of all the LT kernel flavours. Responsibilities will include validating the kernel daily with LAVA, and only publishing the kernels (which pass validation testing) to be used by the LEB images (until the new linux-linaro tree is in place). During February 6-10 Linaro hosted Linaro Connect Q1.12. Rounding out the event were daily plenary, planning, and hacking sessions which attendees were encouraged to attend and take part in. This event was the largest Linaro Connect to date and was highlighted by the participation of community members and other external attendees, notably from Google. The event also hosted "Demo Friday" where once again the public was invited to participate in hands-on demonstrations of Linaro developments. Some demos can be seen on Linaro's Youtube channel: Ubuntu TV Demo on ARM http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tpIFaAxyFGE&list=UUAl2MfCBjH5y0nIym0ujHf… XBMC on ST-ERICSSON's Snowball http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=14p-WOFAWWw&list=UUAl2MfCBjH5y0nIym0ujHf… Linaro was also well represented at Embedded Linux Conference with a very high percentage of presentations given by Linaro team member or seconders. For links to highlights from Linaro Connect and ELC please go to the bottom of this announcement. Postmortem and Lessons Learned ============================== This cycle was the shortest that Linaro release has encountered, and this presented some challenges. The small number of development and planning days, along with interruptions by Linaro Connect, ELC and ABS contributed to a smaller production of deliverables from the team. There was a loss of focus as people dealt with fractured development cycle, jet lag and the shorter work sprint. A solution discussed to mitigate this problem is that for short cycles, a different type of planning should be applied that is focused more on bug-fixing and the backlog, rather than larger ambitious deliverables. The Android team has been doing a large amount of kernel development and has suggested the addition of some sort of kernel resources for iMX53, Origen and, possibly Snowball.
