Official proposal for stakeholder process for the following idea.
Anyone can contribute.
Summary
----------
Amit Kucheria has suggested we create a script called linaro-testdrive
to ease the knowledge required to download images and create bootable
media.
In his opinion as we continuously add support for more platforms and
even more boards, it will become untenable to maintain the wiki pages
describing. Something similar to 'testdrive' for Ubuntu is required for
the next cycle.
This script should ask some basic questions and just do the right
thing. This should be a separate script from linaro-media-create.
Questions would be:
- What SoC?
- What board?
- What release (milestone)?
- Image type (headless, alip, qemu, etc.)
Each of these would be a multiple choice question. This should get rid
of the several levels of indirection required just to download all the
right components before trying to prepare an image.
The should be easily data driven. A data file could contain all of the
information required for the questions above. And with the right
packaging, upgrades to linaro-testdrive will continually add support
for new platforms and boards.

Hello, I have been lurking here and on irc for a while and felt like it was
time to introduce myself.
I have a BB-C4 with all the trimmings and have been booting SD flash with
the daily builds and trying different configurations. I have also signed up
for weekly testing on the BB.
>From the wiki, it looks like I would be most interested in either the
Platform Engineering or Working Groups Engineering Units. Specifically, I'd
really like to start playing with sound/multimedia, but really anywhere that
I can help.
Is there any interest in a Middleware:Audio working group? Or does this fit
better with the Platform Engineering User Platforms group? I helped form the
Linux Foundation (OSDL at the time) Desktop Architects Sound and Multimedia
workgroup and could help with that.

Hi,
I'm playing around with the daily snapshots.
Currently I'm using the snapshot from 20100929 on an EBVBeagle C2.
In order to see home exactly I'm cooking it you can look here:
http://ebvbeagle.blogspot.com/2010/09/linaro-on-beagle.html
It comes up more or less happily, but as soon as I connect either my
mcs7830 based USB to ethernet adapter, my USB mouse, or my USB keyboard
to the USB hub I don't see anything happening.
No logs from the kernel buffer and no udev events with udevadm monitor.
With some old Angstrom image I have lying around I can see the events.
With Linaro it looks like udev is running.
Either me or the image is missing something.
Is it time to recompile the kernel and/or write some udev rules, or does
this image try to use some other mechanism for hot plugging I'm not
aware of?
Regards,
Robert

I'm working on building in ARM cross compile support to the Ubuntu
kernel packaging. I am encountering the following error:
fakeroot debian/rules binary-omap arch=armel
.....
dh_gencontrol -plinux-image-2.6.35-22-omap
dpkg-gencontrol: error: current host architecture 'amd64' does not
appear in package's architecture list (armel)
dh_gencontrol: dpkg-gencontrol -plinux-image-2.6.35-22-omap
-ldebian/changelog -Tdebian/linux-image-2.6.35-22-omap.substvars
-Pdebian/linux-image-2.6.35-22-omap returned exit code 255
make: *** [binary-omap] Error 9
I have not successfully found a way to override the architecture. Anyone
have any ideas? I've tried the various forms of
dh_gencontrol -p$(pkgimg) -a$(arch)
dh_gencontrol -p$(pkgimg) -- -a$(arch)
export DH_OPTIONS="-a$(arch)" && dh_gencontrol -p$(pkgimg)

Hi,
Tagging bugs is not only good practice but makes tracking and sorting so much easier. With
this in mind I came up with a list of tags that can be consulted when reporting bugs. Please
take a look at:
http://wiki.linaro.org/Process/Bugs/Tags
Ubuntu bug tags [1] also still apply, the Linaro specific ones are just to further classify bugs
for Linaro.
Please feel free to suggest changes/corrections.
Regards,
Jamie.
