Hi,
I'd like to use an external linaro toolchain (4.7). Here is what I did:
1. I cloned meta-linaro (dizzy since it is the same branch I'm using in
poky) and added meta-linaro-toolchain to conf/bblayer.conf.
2. I added something to conf/local.conf:
TCMODE = "external-linaro"
ELT_TARGET_SYS = "arm-linux-gnueabihf"
EXTERNAL_TOOLCHAIN =
"/opt/gcc-linaro-arm-linux-gnueabihf-4.7-2013.03-20130313_linux"
Then I run `bitbake core-image-minimal` but I get these errors:
a. QA-check fails
ERROR: QA Issue: external-linaro-toolchain: Files/directories were
installed but not shipped
/lib/libgfortran.spec
/lib/libattr.so.1

b. libattr already provided
ERROR: The recipe attr is trying to install files into a shared area
when those files already exist. Those files and their manifest location are:
/home/AZCOM-WIN/mannis/yocto/build.linaro/tmp/sysroots/bb-lamarr/lib/libattr.so.1
Matched in manifest-bb-lamarr-external-linaro-toolchain.populate_sysroot

Matched in manifest-bb-lamarr-external-linaro-toolchain.populate_sysroot
Do you have any idea how to fix that?
Thanks for your precious help.
Regards,
Stefano

# tyler-baker Progress #
* LAVA-1511 - Upstream Kernel CI
* LAVA-1524 - ARM KVM boot testing (3.33%)
* Applied workaround for juno guest issue.
* LAVA-1317 - lava-dispatcher maintenance
* LAVA-2092 - Android Host Command Signals (6.67%)
* Reworking of this prototype will have to be done, as it is not very easy to simply install an apk as the user needs to first download it somewhere, and then reference it. A generic host command may not be ideal here, and something specific to Android most likely will need to be developed.
* LAVA-1511 - Upstream Kernel CI
* LAVA-2090 - LSK Build Issues (10.0%)
* A fix to the lava-ci scripts accidentally appended 'arch' to the defconfig string, resulting in the links to result logs being lost. A fix was developed, tested, and deployed. A few of the recent build had to be re-run manually to update the broken results.
* LAVA-1317 - lava-dispatcher maintenance
* LAVA-1981 - Basic integration of D02 (10.0%)
* Installed and formatted new hard drive. However the same errors are reported by the kernel...
ata7: EH complete
ata7: exception Emask 0x10 SAct 0x0 SErr 0x4000000 action 0xe frozen
ata7: irq_stat 0x00000040, connection status changed
ata7: SError: { DevExch }
ata7: limiting SATA link speed to 1.5 Gbps
ata7: hard resetting link
I've sent a summary to the hisilicon developers, and provided remote access to the board for debug.
* LAVA-1511 - Upstream Kernel CI
* LAVA-1982 - Bug Bisection (10.0%)
* Bisected and reported the hip04-d01 failures in arm-soc/-next
* Wrote a kernel patch to fix an allmodconfig build warning. In review with Kevin, before sending this to the list.
* LAVA-1317 - lava-dispatcher maintenance
* LAVA-2088 - apq8016-sbc integration (26.67%)
* Basic integration of this platform as been done and can be tracked here:
https://review.linaro.org/#/c/5839/
The outstanding issue, is that the DT must contain a 'magic' string in order for the dtbTool to work properly. This string has been rejected by the upstream kernel maintainers, and so there is no solution yet. For the time being I will implement fdtput workaround to inject the string on the fly.
* LAVA-1511 - Upstream Kernel CI
* LAVA-2089 - kselftest build scripts integration (33.33%)
* Sent some fixes for lib.mk upstream to fix the case where no test was built but was trying to be installed. Once these are accepted, we can start to build the scripts to automate the building and installation of kselftests.
* Created some 'testing' buildroot ramdisk for x86, arm64, and arm that contain all deps for kselftest in it's current form. I tested this by running kselftest on all the boards in kernelci.org for mainline v4.1-rc1.
* A new revision of my lib.mk fixes was requested. Addressed the comments during review and respun the patch series.
# stylesen Progress #
* LAVA-1317 - lava-dispatcher maintenance
* LAVA-1414 - LC: Linaro login integration with LAVA (100.0%)
* move some code to dashboard_app helpers.py so that it could be shared between mergeldapuser and addldapuser commands.
* Code, test and create patchset for review.
* Address review comments about messages that are printed and making the script Linaro specific.
# milo Progress #
* LAVA-1511 - Upstream Kernel CI

* Created final rate graph library and added boot along build pass rate graph.
* LAVA-1511 - Upstream Kernel CI
* LAVA-1920 - Backend improvements (37.93%)
* Fixed error when uploading large files.
* Fixed problem with build log parser where, when triggered multiple times and parsing the same build log, it was creating multiple identical error reports.
* Reworked and tested nginx configuration to better handle API resources.
* LAVA-1511 - Upstream Kernel CI
* LAVA-1554 - Email notification system (6.9%)
* Added custom X-Headers to email reports for better email filtering (http://api.kernelci.org/intro.html#email-reports).

tldr; you shouldn't notice anything.
Over the past few months, the Systems team has been working on providing
a mechanism to give users geographically optimized access to
git.linaro.org. We plan to enable this tomorrow, Thursday May 13 at
14:00 UTC.
The change is actually just a DNS update, so in theory the only thing
you'll notice is faster git clones/pulls. However, in the event
something goes wrong and you need a fix ASAP you can update your
.git/config files to use "git-us.linaro.org" instead of "git.linaro.org"
and things will work like they always have.
If you want to find out more about how we've done this you can take a
look at our wiki page:
