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. I can remember the exact instant when I realized that a large
part of my life from then on was going to be spent in finding mistakes in
my own programs.

The Linaro 16.07 release is now available for download!
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/GetSourcehttp://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

Dear devs,
In https://lists.linaro.org/pipermail/linaro-dev/2016-April/018161.html
(sorry, I can't reply to that thread directly, as I've only just
subscribed to the list), there was a patch to remove the -2' from PR to
fix the following error from the do_package_rpm script:
| error: line 4: invalid tag value("^[A-Za-z0-9+._]+$") Release:
Release: r2015.11-2
| error: Package has no %description: libgcc-linaro+5.2.aarch64
This was NACKed by Koen Kooi because it "winds back the release, which
is bad and breaks upgrade paths, which is worse". Good points. (Some
package version comparison algorithms would treat "r2015.11-2" as a
lower version number than "r2015.11", but others would treat it as a
higher version number. Package managers often have to massage upstream
version numbers in obnoxious ways to fit into the package manager's
version numbering rules.)
Is there a recommended resolution for this problem or any plans to fix
it? In my own case, I worked around it locally by adding the following
line to meta-linaro-toolchain/recipes-devtools/gcc/gcc-linaro-5.2.inc
after the setting of the PR variable:
PKGR = "${@'${PR}'.replace('-', '+')}"
The effect is to replace '-' with '+' in the RPM package versions. I'm
not sure what effect that has on the upgrade path though. Would
replacing the '-' with a '.' or a '_' be better?
Best regards,
Ian Abbott

Hi,
Does anyone know the progress of DRAM PASR? I cannot find any more
information after patch set in 2012. One of Linaro member is interested in
this topic and want to work on it. So I am checking whether anybody is
working on it or know the progress.
