Hi At Linaro we are working on cross toolchain for ARM/EABI target (known as 'armel' in Debian and Ubuntu based systems). We base on work made by Debian and Ubuntu toolchain maintainers. Latest version of cross toolchains are available in prebuilt form on: http://people.canonical.com/~hrw/ubuntu-maverick-armel-cross-compilers/ I provide there gcc-4.4, gcc-4.5, binutils and eglibc packages. Use them, report bugs to Ubuntu launchpad. Regards, -- JID: hrw(a)jabber.org Website: http://marcin.juszkiewicz.com.pl/ LinkedIn: http://www.linkedin.com/in/marcinjuszkiewicz

[raof@ubuntu.com: Xserver 1.9 transition]

by Alexander Sack

FYI (CCed Chris if you have questions) ----- Forwarded message from Christopher James Halse Rogers <raof(a)ubuntu.com> ----- From: Christopher James Halse Rogers <raof(a)ubuntu.com> To: ubuntu-devel-discuss <ubuntu-devel-discuss(a)lists.ubuntu.com>, ubuntu-devel-announce(a)lists.ubuntu.com, ubuntu-x <ubuntu-x(a)lists.ubuntu.com> Subject: Xserver 1.9 transition X-Spam-Status: No, score=-2.6 required=0.8 tests=BAYES_00,RCVD_IN_DNSWL_LOW autolearn=ham version=3.3.1 Summary for the impatient: ******************************************************************** A new X server is soon to be uploaded which requires all the drivers to be rebuilt. Be careful when upgrading in the next few days. ******************************************************************** As promised earlier in the cycle, we've got the second X server transition coming up. This will take us to X server 1.9, which features improvements to startup time, some memory usage improvements, and many DRI2 fixes. The 1.9 server has a new input and video ABI which means existing driver packages will break. The server needs to be uploaded first so the new drivers build against the correct ABI, which means that there will be a period where safe upgrades will have held-back packages. The dependencies should ensure that you won't accidentally get a non-working combination of X server and drivers, but be careful if an upgrade wants to remove X packages.

Making a QEMU to make our lives easier

by Michael Hope

Morning all. Peter Maydell from ARM has just joined Toolchain WG and will initially be working on QEMU. As part of that I'd like him to make a QEMU/Kernel/Distribution combination that makes our lives easier - something that replaces the limited memory, obsolete hardware ARM versatile kernel that we use at the moment and that can be used for a development, buildd, and debootstrap host. This cuts across all of our groups as it needs kernel input, will be done by toolchain, and hopefully consumed by user platforms. A blueprint is available at: https://blueprints.launchpad.net/qemu-linaro/+spec/qemu-focused-kernel Feedback would be appreciated, -- Michael

Linaro Kernel Consolidation WG Weekly meeting (2010-8-5)

by Matt Waddel

The complete weekly report for the Linaro Kernel Consolidation team may be found at: https://wiki.linaro.org/WorkingGroups/KernelConsolidation/Meetings/2010-08-… Summary of the minutes: Device tree support - ARM specific patches in Grant's test tree - probably will be included in the 2.6.38 kernel release - Patches making good progress, just takes time Richard discussed device trees at the TI OMAP open source meeting. - Most maintainers were receptive and would like to see patches merged. - Russell King had reservations. Concern was the lack of standardization within the ARM community could cause messy implementations. Device tree support for OMAP. Jeremy could use some hardware to speed testing. Arnd asked about QEMU support for the Versatile Express. - Needs to be added to a specification for this platform and scheduled. - Richard pointed out there there was a QEMU branch(qemu-maemo) with OMAP support, but the necessary PCI support wasn't implemented. - Device trees may help in situations like this. Versatile Express device tree support is coming. Arnd reviewing ST Ericsson, out of town next week - Waiting for the BSP, but has hardware Boot architecture WG - Grant to kick-off this team after the kernel merge window No alpha3 testing done within the group Please let me know if you have any questions. --Matt

So I guess, native compilation is the only way out now, until this problem is solved? http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=591522
