-- * Period: (20110303-20110309) * PM: JamieBennett jamie.bennett@linaro.org * Past reports : https://wiki.linaro.org/Platform/Android/Status

== Key Points for wider discussion == * Framebuffer patches still need more discussion * Team is discovering and discussing Blueprints to work on this and next cycle. More input from other teams is encouraged.

== Team Highlights == * Improvements to linaro-media-create (not merged yet) and basic validation of the Android images. * Working on delivering the first binary Linaro toolchain for Android. This will then be validated using existing validation tools and a report sent next week. * More work defining the Android LEB to clearly understand what needs to be delivered in our images. * Framebuffer and Power Management work continues with the former due to land next week. * Two Panda boards are destined for the team although there is a problem with one on them (see below).

== Upcoming Deliverables == * None.

== Risks / Issues == * '''HIGH IMPACT''': Kenjie Watanabe states that his company committed him to work in Linaro but he currently has no time for this. Noritsuna will discuss the problem with the president of his company next week (3 weeks). We have now been informed that they will get clearance to work on the Project in April. * '''HIGH IMPACT''': Currently the Linaro Android efforts are based on 2.6.37 but with Linaro moving to 2.6.38 and the upstream Android 2.6.38 kernel being available some rebasing efforts will be needed. John Stultz, Patrik Ryd and others need to discuss how this can be done in the smoothest way (3 weeks). Some amount of effort will be needed but that effort is unclear at this point. Will lower level after initial investigations if necessary. Tree still needs to be produced for any assessment can be made. * '''MEDIUM IMPACT''': Contribution agreements with Google for AOSP development still waiting to be approved for Alexander Sack and Patrik Ryd (1 week). * '''MEDIUM IMPACT''': Patriks Panda board is lost in the postal system atm. Sent by Mounir from IBM, Patrik is chasing tracking numbers (1 week). * '''MEDIUM IMPACT''': Patrik lost some time last week due to an internal project at ST-E. Need to monitor to ensure Patrik stays focused on Linaro. * '''LOW IMPACT''': jstultz lost some days last week due to sickness. He is focussing on kconfig work for Linaro atm.

== Miscellaneous == * Wiki pages of note this week: * https://wiki.linaro.org/Platform/Android/CurrentProjects
